I agree with many of the commenters here...and especially after hearing about the reasoning on your show for splitting this into two films, I find it questionable and annoying that they are split up.
But you know what is more crazy than that? The fact that people would vote for Vol. 1 in this situation!
I never feel dramatically satisfied until I finish Vol. 2...until we see the lioness is back with her cub everything else is just part of the stylized adventure leading up to that moment. Yes, there is the one main iconic set piece in the first, but if we're being forced into ripping this piece of art into two half's and completely erasing one we should keep the beating heart of the picture (that actually contains more backstory then the first...and includes the Mothers escape from the womb of the earth so that she can save the child that came from her own womb), Vol. 2
I actually don't enjoy Kill Bill Volume:1 but love Volume 2 so I'm happy they split up and I hope the character driven one moves on, but I suspect a lot of people like bright colors and gallons of blood more.
In my view your best solution to the "this is one movie" problem would be to include a "neither" option. That would get my vote.
A pox on Weinstein's house for robbing us of a four-hour Kill Bill film. That would have been an incredible experience.. Still is two incredible films, but I have to give the slight nod to Volume 1. The story-telling and pacing are a little tighter, I love the animated origin story of O-ren Ishii, and the swordfight inside the House of Blue Leaves is iconic.
Oh my god, does this mean that one of these movies will for sure be on the list? I thought that we were deciding between Bourne/LOTR/Kill Bill?
I've only voted for volume one so I could comment, so if it's close, feel free to subtract my vote because I don't care about Tarintino movies. Sheesh.
I'm also one that tends to consider it as one film. However, given the choice, I voted for Volume 1.
I agree with others who say Kill Bill 1& 2 is one movie. How can you choose. It should be in as one.
I wanted to abstain. But I voted just so that I could leave this comment and say that Kill Bill is not two films, it's one. It was released as two, but it is one. I can't imagine watching Vol. 1 by itself or starting Vol. 2 on its own. The emotional impact, the chapter structure, the wordy exchanges that lead to the momentous revelations and heartstopping (get it) climactic duel only work when the films are viewed in a single experience. There is a version that exists where the films are cut together as one ("The Whole Bloody Affair") and while it's unavailable in America, it deserves to be in the Criterion Collection.
The Superman speech that Bill gives in the end of Vol. 2 is one of my favorite metaphors and the entire sandwich scene with Bill and Kiddo's daughter made me so tense there's a part of my brain that has never unwound. But . . . I think Vol 1 is a better story, has much much better fight sequences (the House of Blue Leaves?! I mean come on!) and while Vol 2 is a welcome resolution of the story and just more time spend in an imaginative world that I loved, the world would stuff be pretty ok if only one Kill Bill existed, as long as it's Vol 1.
Vol. 2 has always been my favorite. The spectacle of Vol. 1 is fun, but the heart of the movie is in Vol. 2.

If we're not considering both Volumes together as one complete story, my vote goes to Vol. 1 for the Crazy 88 extended fight sequence alone as the purest spectacle of Tarantino's entire filmography.
Agree with previous posters. Kill Bill is actually one movie, conceived of as a single narrative. As for an official notation, the opening credits of Hateful Eight actually say "the 8th film by Quentin Tarantino". (Dogs, Pulp, Jackie, KB, Death Proof, Basterds, Django, H8)
Since Kill Bill is actually one movie, just a few words to any spillover LOTR fans who may come in here to say “we’ll then Lord of the Rings is one movie”: No. No. No, no, no, no. Peter Jackson’s films were conceived as three separate movies at the outset to match the number of books. Written as three. Maybe directed as one but that was about production costs. Kill Bill written as one, directed as one, edited as one, until the Weinsteins got greedy, or worried, or whatever. QT should make this official.
Vol. 1 should get in, based solely on the final battle sequence with the crazy 88. It's the best part of either film and one of the best action sequences of the decade.

Kill Bill Vol 1 & 2 is one movie and should be included in The Madness as such.
