I agree with Greg, I mean ... Craig.

I take exception with the idea that Quentin Tarantino
is a
"great" director. Talented and interesting, sure.
Flashy and
gimmicky and trendy-for-his-slacker-background to be
sure.
But a great director? No.
Oh, and according to IMDB, Tarantino has made
significantly fewer than 18 films:
Director - filmography
(In Production) (2000s) (1990s) (1980s)
1. Inglorious Bastards (2006) (announced)
2. Grind House (2006) (pre-production) (segment
"Death Proof")
3. Sin City (2005) (special guest director)
4. Kill Bill: Vol. 2 (2004)
5. Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003)
6. "Jimmy Kimmel Live" (2003) TV Series (1 episode
2004)
7. "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" (2000) TV
Series (episode 5.24
"Grave Danger: Part 1") (episode 5.25 "Grave Danger:
Part 2")
8. Jackie Brown (1997)
9. Four Rooms (1995) (segment "The Man from
Hollywood")
10. "ER" (1994) TV Series (episode 1.23
"Motherhood")
11. Pulp Fiction (1994)
12. Reservoir Dogs (1992)
13. My Best Friend's Birthday (1987)
And of those 13 directorial efforts, two have yet to
come out,
one he only directed a bit of (Sin City), one he only
directed
a section of (Four Rooms), and three were TV episodes.
One of things Tarantino is noted for in Hollywood is
for
having a big reputation -- and very loud opinions --
without
actually having directed very much.
