I love Tarantino films because

The career of Quentin Tarantino instantly became the stuff of Hollywood legend. Of course, winning an Oscar, Golden Globe and numerous critics' awards for Best Original Screenplay for the groundbreaking and much-imitated "Pulp Fiction" (1994) added significantly to his luster.

Not bad for a high school dropout who picked up much of his film education while working as a video store clerk. For better or worse, the entertainment press selected Tarantino as the symbol of a new generation of young, hot directors. Hailed by Variety as "the video store generation of filmmakers,” these would-be auteurs learned what they know about moviemaking and film history by watching VHS tapes on television; not at film school.

It's highly subjective, I think. I'm a fan of both men's work. Honestly, for me, it's a draw. I love Reservoir Dogs & the Kill Bills as much as anything in the Jay & Silent Bob series (out of which Dogma & Chasing Amy are my favorites).

Between Kevin Smith or Quentin Tarantino I pick, Robert Rodriguez! Robert has aesthetics and a cinematic style similar to Quentin but I feel that he has gone out of his element and taken more risks many more times than the other two aforementioned directors.

Thank you for your input and I don't dismiss the talent of Robert Rodriguez, but the question was looking for opinions on the comparison of Smith and Tarantino.
