Ok since you decided to bring up Nolan. I will name the most Original movie he has done, & you name the most Original movie Tarantino has done.
Momento.
Hehe. You know, it's
Memento not
Momento. Menonto senor, momento!
t:
Jackie Brown is Tarantinos "Omage" to blackpoitation movies. Doesn't count. Try again.
And that's "homage" with h not "omage".
But yeah, QT hasn't
directed anything original.
Reservoir Dogs = remake/copy/"inspirated by" of
City on Fire.
Pulp Fiction = Co-written with Roger Avary.
Jackie Brown = Based on a book by the same name.
Kill Bill = homage to old kungfu flicks.
Death Proof = homage to old exploitation flicks.
The ones he has
written but not
directed are entirerly different story then.
True Romance = Okay, some drugs are taken, people want 'em back etc. Not so original, but it was different from others in a very good way.
Natural Born Killers = Well, okay (again) couple murdering people. But this was done differently too.
From Dusk Till Dawn = Bar owned by mexican vampires, anyone? And the flick starts as a heist road movie and turns into a horror splatter.
He may not have anything particulary original other than PF and FDTD, but I still dig the shait outta his films. Sue me.
Oh and, the only original thing Nolan has ever done was his first movie
Following. All the other films he has made are based on something.
So there you go, both directors aren't so good on creating something original. But who isn't nowdays, huh? I think the most original movie I saw last year was
The Ten by David Wein.
