    The only unimpressive Tarantino film is Jackie Brown.

    Coenargal are as wordy as Kaufman. They don't indulge in over-exposition, no?

    But Nolan's strike rate is high compared to all these filmmakers :P.

    Very original films, Multiple Genres and probably one of the few directors who have mixed serious cinema with blockbuster action in my memory. This guy can only can get better.

    The first QT film I have watched is KB1. It has been downhill from there for me.

    Coens yes uneven.
    But even BAR is so damn good. Meta-nA idhu meta. Perhaps I confuse content and making etc. Much respect comes for people who have such a conception of absurdity, characters etc.

    QT's character quirks, famous dialocks, cinematic moments - have never blown my socks off.

    Word 'action' might be misleading. But if you're referring to what I think you are. Nolan is extremely derivative and relatively drab at such sequences. There are exceptions: the zero gravity sequence - though derivative - in Inception, the chase sequence in Insomnia, and the highway confrontation in Dark Knight while the bank sequence is again extremely derivative of Michael Mann, one of Nolan's touchstone references in 'action' choreography and visual sense (along with Ridley Scott).

    OTOH, I find Coens and Tarantino far more inventive, exciting & subversive in action sequences. NCFOM, and Kill Bill are perfect and the filmmakers are so much more careful in both cases. No sloppiness. Car chase towards end of Death Proof and Finney's Thompson submach fight back in Miller's Crossing'lam 'vAippillAmai'-nga.

    I don't think I have seen any Mann films to comment but it was easily the most impressive opening scenes I've ever seen.

    The much reviled snow fight in Inception was something I found breathtaking.

    The Big Lebowski, The Man Who Wasn't there, A Serious Man, Barton Fink, Fargo are all 'meta-'.

    And in case of Tarantino, Inglorious, Pulp Fiction'lam rembavE meta-, phorical, estra ecstra-nga. Even Kill Bill is 'meta-' for its genre. itha pathi ippa solra alavukku theramaiyO porumaiyO illa, maybe later.

    The snow fight is what I'd call 'sloppy'. Even low grade filmmakers of Bond series have done better.
