QTs influences: Res Dogs is essentially an intricate reworking of Ringo Lam's City on Fire, which doesn't make it any less brilliant. Watch this to see just how he reworked the story for the 90s.

Pulp Fiction is QTs masterpiece ode to pop-culture. The screenplay is faultless, the direction perfectly understated and the performances by the ensemble cast are career-bests. Watch and be entranced.

An excellent blaxploitation flick that is overlooked by most who aren't already fans of the genre. Whilst it's different to his previous two crime pics, it gives some insight into QTs film faves.

...and see the second weaker part - poor editing and a little too much self-indulgence. The smarts are still there, though, and whilst its less than the sum of its parts it's still better than most.

Oliver Stone's adap of QT's screenplay. A brash and bloody satire on the media, it takes risks and arguably scores a soccerpunch hit. You'll either love it or hate it. Guaranteed.
