Is this anyone else's favorite Tarrantino film?

It's not favourite but it's a great movie and definitely Tarantino's most underrated.
It's also the type of film I'd like to see Tarantino one day return to. He doesn't have to dazzle us all the time, as he's done with Pulp Fiction (admittedly my favourite) and Reservoir Dogs. Sometimes it's good enough just to tell a great story about mature, compelling characters with genuine life experience. -

Oh hell yes. This and Inglourious Basterds are my 2 favorites. This film is just so underrated, it's criminal.
But it's cool, the real fans of this film just "get it" I think. It's got a vibe to it that's gotta be so hard to capture on film. But they did! -

It's not my favorite but its not talked about enough. It's a great film, sometimes I wish QT went back to the basics for a project.
- Pulp Fiction (Just An Absolute Masterpiece)
- Inglourious Basterds(Best Script He's Had. Think the language barrier hurt it for casual fans, to me it was Superb)
- Jackie Brown(Great Source Novel and Great QT Adaption/Interpretation)
- Reservoir Dogs(Raw, Real, Just DIFFERENT From His Catalog)
- Kill Bill(2-1, but it's one film in Reality)
- Django Unchained(Like It, Feel Its A Bit Overrated Though, Wasn't Blown Away)
- Death Proof(If it was full scale, I think it could've been insane, still, good film)

Good movie. But for me "Inglorious Basterds" is as close to a perfect movie as it gets. Even alot of the second and third tier parts; from the opening scene with the French father, to both of the officers playing the card game in the basement..And if anyone EVER deserved the Supporting Role Oscar that they won, it was Christoph Waltz.
"Pulp" 2nd, "Django" 3rd. I'd say it's his 4th best. -

Yup, this is the only QT movie with a really strong emotional center (well, Res Dogs, with Tim Roth and Harvey Keitel is something in that direction also) as well as complex, nuanced characters that aren't merely cinematic constructs or cooler-than-thou apparitions. And with all that, QT effortlessly retains his signature style and vibes and humor - only now it's more grounded and given a more weighty context. As outrageously entertaining as Pulp Fiction is, Jackie Brown is easily his most accomplished work - and will probably remain so, even though The Hateful Eight was a rather unexpected return to form after many years.
