I wish I could tell you what I really been doing for the last 7 years, its not that distant from what you wrote.

Its been a few years since I saw it. My experience has been colored by reading Steven Pressfield's fictional account about it several years prior. I enjoyed the fight scenes, as ridiculous as they were, but clearly the movie was largely shit

I think IB was made specifically to be pretty and whatever else is going on was secondary.
It's all over the place. But rather than being pissed off at that, I guess I assumed that it WAS a pastiche. The tone of the movie starts spr srs with the french farmhouse and is deconstructed in every scene until you end with hitler being assassinated in the movie house with the jewgirl laughing on the burning big screen. It's a descent into absurdity. But it is a constructed and controlled descent, not a plane crash. It's actually a fairly creative way to do YET ANOTHER "lets kill Hitler" movie.
Not his worst movie. I still think Four Rooms was fucking horrible. Boring. Not even bad enough to rant about how boring that movie was. It was just fucking boring.

Yeah, I thought Death Proof was cool though. For what it was, I can't imagine someone making a better movie like that these days. The other one, Planet Terror, that I just couldn't do.
I did forget Four Rooms. Yeah his segment was gay, the whole thing was boring.
If I had to rank them, I think I would go Pulp Fiction - Jackie Brown - Reservoir Dogs - Kill Bill - Django Unchained - True Romance (Yeah I'm counting it)- Death Proof - Inglorious Basterds. But most of that is probably nostalgia.
I thought it was a collection of entertaining scenes. Perhaps a glorious collection of hot messes that work together to varying degrees. Every scene was not compelling, but it did have more than a few captivating, comical, or outlandish moments that made my time spent watching it seem worth it. I was indifferent to the historical revisionism, but I appreciated being uncertain where the movie was going.

Of course True Romance counts, and should be near the top of any fans list.
It's okay to like this film, but there's PLENTY of Tarantino fans who think this movie just plain sucked. He had a great 15 minute idea as a "Fuck you" to Tom Hanks and Saving Private Ryan and it turned into a shitfest of cameos and over the top parody.
