3. Kill Bill Vol. 2

Tarantino initially conceptualized Kill Bill Vol. 1 and Kill Bill Vol. 2 as one big movie, which would’ve easily been his greatest cinematic achievement. As opposed to Kill Bill Vol. 1‘s fast-paced thriller vibe, Vol. 2 is a slower tale of fatal love between Beatrix “the Bride” Kiddo (Uma Thurman) and the center of her revenge plots, Bill (David Carradine). In one climactic scene, Bill delivers one of the most salient observations ever on Superman, and the “Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique” is both a moment of triumph for Beatrix and a heartbreaking end to the painful history of these former lovers. No other Tarantino movie balances near-perfect dialogue with a complicated love story and gripping action quite like Kill Bill Vol. 2, a movie everyone should watch once a year.
