Ranked: Quentin Tarantino's 50 Best Characters

Quentin Tarantino arrived at the Sundance Film Festival with "Reservoir Dogs" under his arm in January 1992. His verbose, violent ode to gangster movies, Hong Kong thrillers, and French New Wave style immediately defined a primary American film movement of the 1990s. This month sees the release of "The Hateful Eight;" it's the eighth film (or ninth, if we count the two halves of "Kill Bill" as truly separate movies) in a career that also features a number of Tarantino-penned scripts in which characters he created appeared under the guidance of other directors.

Tarantino's films consistently prove the importance of character over spectacle or plot. The twists of "Pulp Fiction" are certainly entertaining, but we go back to the movie on a regular basis as a chance to spend time with characters like Jules and Vincent. Here, we've ranked the 50 most memorable characters from Tarantino's films and scripts.
