Lock stock would be my first choice of those, snatch is the follow up which is good too.

Can't go wrong with Snatch & Lock Stock!

I thought the Kill Bill movies were shit, but for balance, I watched them at about 5am after a night out.

I loved Dusk Till Dawn.  Not everyone's cup of tea, obviously.

Django Unchained is pretty good as well.

Loved the Kill Bill films. Dusk Till Dawn was absolute bilge not my cup of tea. Guy Ritchie films are what they are and thus good fun.

Pretty much this IMO for the order. I'm a personal big fan of the Dusk Till Dawn movie, but appreciate its not as good as the others.

If you want violence, I'd also throw in The Raid.

Lock Stock is brilliant, definitely a good place to start, and like others have said follow it up with Snatch if you enjoy it!

Although a bit different to the others you should try The Last Samurai aswell

Yep that's the one. Definitely worth a watch from start to finish!

Maybe not popuar but definitely one of my favourite films is Mesrine: Killer Instinct

Pulp fiction is the must see on that list IMO. If you like it, it's a pretty safe bet you'll enjoy all of Tarrantino's stuff.

If I may throw some others into the mix, Goodfellas, Casino and The Departed are all excellent films, and you really should watch the Shawshank redemption if you havent already.
You've got some great viewing ahead anyhow, I'm a bit jealous. I haven't seen anything mind blowing in ages.

This too, would put it over the whole list
Pulp Fiction next
DTD
Reservoir Dogs/Lock Stock

All good enough films to watch though

Thought Django Unchained was a bit meh, thought it started well, but lost interest towards the end.  Jackie Brown was OK, haven't really seen all of Natural Born Killers to really form a view, but haven't been in a rush to watch the whole thing after the bit I saw.

Not seen Kill Bill or Snatch

How spooky.

I've seen them before, but I watched Departed last month while I was having my infusion, and just started watching Casino last night!

i have all the films on the orginal list lined up to watch but a little unwell last cpl of days so didnt round to it should be able to watch 1 or 2 tomorrow
might stick with 1 and throw in a bit of a slapstick in there to stop the violence overload

I'm not a fan of graphic violence either tbh ironside, I'm okay with deaths as part of the plot but I don't like the lingering gory stuff.
In fact, when I say I've seen all of Tarrantino's films,  heard them from behind a cushion is probably more accurate! Pulp fiction still one of my faves though,  and Reservoir dogs and Jackie Brown are right up there, but you might want to give the Kill Bills a swerve.
Lock stock is great fun, if you like some humour to lighten things up you'll definitely enjoy it.

My kids really enjoyed the Jurassic park films, just the right amount of scary for that age group imo.
Independence day is pretty epic too.

Maybe try something proper old school then, we've saw things like The Good the bad and the ugly, Ice cold in Alex, Big Country and comedies like Planes trains and automobiles recently and they went down well with the kids.

There is more sex and violence in Eastenders that there is in Planes Trains and Automobiles Iron.

Come to think of it, there's more sex and violence in Eastenders than there is in Goodfellas.
