>>>>>>>I'm a bit confused about Tarantino. They refer to his latest (Grindhouse?) as his 5th film but I've got: Resevoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, From Dusk till Dawn, Kill Bill 1, Kill Bill 2, Jackie Brown, already in my mind, and I'm not sure there isn't another one that I can't quite bring to mind. Maybe they refer to his solely directing it but isn't that 6 already?

>>>>>>You're right and whoever "they" are are wrong. He wrote the screenplay for "From Dusk Till Dawn" and acted in it but didn't direct (Rodriguez did). That still makes "Grindhouse" the sixth movie he has directed.

>>>>>Well it#s not the 1st time I've heard an underestimate of his no. of films but there is a BBC liminary, Jonathan Ross, who has his own chat-show, and is also a movie buff, presenting the most prestigious film review show on UK TV, that has been going over 30 years. So his background, PLUS he had TT on his chat-show and stated, re: Grindhouse, like "This is your 5th movie ..."

>>>>imdb.com has him listed as 14 pictures as director (1 isn't released to next year).

>>>No, it doesn't. In addition to the unreleased movie, there are several TV credits and a student film. Plus "Grindhouse" is listed twice. The figure I gave Terry is accurate: he has directed six movies so far.

>>Dropping the TV, I still count what should probably be 11 films there.

>Going to make me do it the hard way, are you? ;-) OK, let's take it from the bottom. Numbers at the end of each entry are the running total of movies directed.

>14. "My Best Friend's Birthday" -- unfinished and unreleased, a movie he co-directed while working at a video store. 0
>
>13. "Reservoir Dogs" -- movie directed by QT. 1
>
>12. "Pulp Fiction" -- movie directed by QT. 2
>
>11. "ER", 1 episode -- TV show. 2
>
>10. "Four Rooms" -- one of four directors. That doesn't count. 2
>
>9. "Jackie Brown" -- movie directed by QT. 3
>
>8. "Kill Bill Vol. 1" -- movie directed by QT. 4
>
>7. "Kill Bill Vol. 2" -- movie directed by QT. 5
>
>6. "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" -- TV show. 5
>
>5. "Sin City" -- "special guest director" (IMDB's phrase) for directing one scene, actually directed by Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller. 5
>
>4. "CSI" (2 episodes) -- TV show. 5
>
>3. "Grindhouse" -- the release name of two movies in one, "Death House" by QT and "Planet Terror" by Robert Rodriguez. 6
>
>2. "Death House" -- redundant with #3. 6
>
>1. "Inglorious Bastards" -- not yet made. 6
>
>And that's a wrap!

>Going all the way back to Terry's original question, whoever referred to "Death House" as Tarantino's 5th movie may have been counting Kill Bill parts 1 and 2 as one movie. They were not. They were released separately -- six months or a year apart as I recall -- and are sold separately on DVD.

Aye, and given the length of them, and difference between them. that would be very unfair - like saying that the 3 LOTR films are just one, cos you can get all three books in one thick one.

BTW, if you're including TV in the above list don't forget the CSI he directed/wrote where Nick gets buried alive.
