1. Machete-This was, in my opinion, the closet the Grindhouse films came to successfully capturing the feel of the exploitation films of the 70s/80s. The gore and action sequences were over-the-top without venturing into Troma-level absurdity, and as such, were able to keep me enthralled. My only complaint with the film is with its heavy-handed political message, but I was so entertained that even that didn't bother me too much. 9.5/10.
2. Planet Terror-This one was quite a bit of fun, but it felt like it didn't go far enough and as someone else mentioned, it felt a bit too modern to really accomplish what it was going for. 7.5/10.
3. Hobo With A Shotgun-This had a very Tromaesque feel to it and I'm not sure what I think about that, as I have mixed feelings about Troma films as a whole. There's a very fine line between being enjoyably over-the-top and entertainingly stupid, and just being embarrassingly asinine, and this film tends to jump back and forth over this line right until the end credits. I'm not 100% sure what to give this film, but if I had a gun to my head, I'd give it a 6.5/10.
4. Death Proof-My complaints about this film are pretty much the same as the rest of its detractors: too much drawn-out and uninteresting dialogue, and not enough Stuntman Mike, though the scenes he was in were fun as hell. 4/10.
Machete 10/10

It sounds elitist, but I tend to think only kinda dumb people didn't like Death Proof. Planet Terror is a silly zombie splatterfest that any average Joe can enjoy, Death Proof was QT's attempt to actually MAKE a Grindhouse film, not parody it. Death Proof is a much better film that stands on it's own and the satire is far more subtle. ;)
I'd rank 'em as such:
1. Death Proof
2. Machete
3. Planet Terror
4. Hobo with a Shotgun
I love 'em all though.
Also I think it's funny how many of you have no idea what "Grindhouse" is supposed to embody and didn't even know the term until the movie came out, but are willing to throw labels around left and right.

Hobo With a Shotgun
Death Proof
Machete- big disappointment
In my humble opinion, Hobo With A Shotgun is what all of those films should have been. And I feel the look that was obviously intended in all of the aforementioned fims, was only truly captured in HWAS.
