6.) The Hateful Eight
While racing toward the town of Red Rock in post-Civil War Wyoming, bounty hunter John “The Hangman” Ruth (Kurt Russell) and his fugitive prisoner (Jennifer Jason Leigh) encounter another bounty hunter (Samuel L. Jackson) and a man who claims to be a sheriff. Hoping to find shelter from a blizzard, the group travels to a stagecoach stopover located on a mountain pass.
Greeted there by four strangers, the eight travelers soon learn that they may not make it to their destination after all.
FUN FACT: Despite being their sixth collaboration as actor and director, this is the first time that Samuel L. Jackson receives top billing in a film directed by Quentin Tarantino.
5.) Kill Bill (Vol. 1 & 2)
A former assassin, known simply as The Bride (Uma Thurman), wakes from a coma four years after her jealous ex-lover Bill (David Carradine) attempts to murder her on her wedding day. Fueled by an insatiable desire for revenge, she vows to get even with every person who contributed to the loss of her unborn child, her entire wedding party, and four years of her life.
After devising a hit list, The Bride sets off on her quest, enduring unspeakable injury and unscrupulous enemies.
FUN FACT: Uma Thurman was offered the script to Kill Bill, and her role as “The Bride”, as a 30th Birthday present from Quentin Tarantino. But production had to be delayed because Uma was pregnant.
