Quentin Facts
~He doesn't choose his actors by the list, he picks out his actors from who he thinks would be perfect for each individual role, it was from this that he gave Robert Foster his comeback.
~It was Quentin Tarentino which helped kick-start Samuel L Jacksons career with Pulp Fiction.
~He uses a saying: I treat actors like stars and stars like actors.  

Jackie Brown Facts
~'I never had any intention to top Pulp Fiction with Jackie Brown, I wanted to go underneath'
~'I wasn't trying to blow your mind with Jackie Brown, I was trying to dig deeper into character'
~He used $500 000 in real notes to look authentic.
~He made Jackie Brown for a black audience.
~It was based on the book Rum Punch written by Elmore Leonard who also wrote the book Out of Sight with the same cop 'Niccolette'  in both of them. Tarentino made the film first, so he had the rights to Michael Keaton playing Nicolette when Out of Sight was turned into a film but didn't believe in making a fuss of it and let them use him for nothing.

The Inglorious Bastards (1978)

It looks as though Quentin Tarentino has adapted his version of Inglorious Basterds from the original Italian version 'Quel Maledetto Treno Blindato' .

Set in France during World War II, a group of American soldiers are in the process of being shipped off to military prison for a variety of infractions, ranging from desertion to murder. While they are being transported, a German air attack hits the convoy, killing most of the prisoners, but allowing the five surviving prisoners to fight off the escorting MPs and escape.
The group decides to make their escape to neutral Switzerland, but on the way they end up volunteering for a commando mission to steal the new prototype gyroscope for the Nazi V2 with help of the French résistance (partisans). Somehow the team must sneak onto the most heavily guarded train in German territory, steal the Nazis' most precious military hardware, and bring it back to the Allies without getting arrested again by their own side.

Blaxploitation

 Blaxploitation is a film genre that emerged in the United States in the early 1970s when many exploitation films were made specifically (and perhaps exclusively) for an audience of urban black people; the word itself is a portmanteau of the words "black" and "exploitation." Blaxploitation films were the first to feature soundtracks of funk and soul music. These films starred primarily black actors.

Jackie Brown (1997) Starring Pam Grier, Samuel L. Jackson, and an all-star supporting cast, director Quentin Tarantino partly pays homage to the blaxploitation genre. Based on the Elmore Leonard novel Rum Punch, Tarantino's title change, casting of Grier, and '70s-style poster art, are all references to Grier's 1974 film Foxy Brown. 
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blaxploitation

Foxy Brown is a 1974 blaxploitation film written and directed by Jack Hill. It stars Pam Grier as the title character, described by one character as "a whole lot of woman" who showcases unrelenting sexiness while battling the villains.

Films I've Seen (Quentin Tarentino)

Inglorious Basterds (2009)
A WWII film based around the Nazis and Jews, two different intervening storylines on the revenge of the Nazis and Hitler.

Pulp Fiction (1994)
A gangster film with intervening characters ranging from all different levels in the crime game.

Reservoir Dogs (1992)  
Crime film with the dilema being there was an unknown  rat amoungst them.  

All three of these films are all very violent and bloody, they all have nonlinear storylines, and Tarentino always tends to star in his films with a small part.
