Happy Tuesday, dear readers! Each week, we’ll rank the top 10 films in a specific category. While we aim to tie these lists to big releases, that won’t always be the case. Our goal? For you to enjoy, share your own lists, and join in on a lively, friendly debate. This is an interactive space to build community here at The Contending.
No fancy intros, no long essays – just a category and a list. Sound good?
This weekend, Quentin Tarantino is bringing Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair to theaters. This cut merges Kill Bill Vol. 1 (2003) and Kill Bill Vol. 2 (2004) into the unified experience he originally envisioned, screening in both 70mm and 35mm. It also includes a brand-new, seven-and-a-half–minute animated sequence that audiences have never seen.
To mark the occasion, I’m ranking the ten feature-length films directed by the eight-time Oscar nominee and two-time winner himself.
You gonna bark all day, little doggie, or dive into the rankings? You came here with curiosity, and now I’ve got your attention… so let’s get medieval on this filmography. That’s right… it’s a bingo!
