Tarantino's Top 8

[Mrsilenciobackgammon]

Wow, try looking a little bit more like 'Jaws' in the Bond films.

[henman09]

Invicitus? Invictus Dumb Ass Motherfucker !

[zioquentin999]

i think that the best movies of 2009 is inglorious basterds

[rnsteh]

he looks like grandpa from the munsters kind of

[Myfishstick87]

he's soo freakn weird. frighteningly I can see myself enjoying a conversation with him.

[ureatowel15]

lovely bones is a piece of fuck

[markhermanson3]

Watch District 9 again.

[keysersoze2k1]

Tarantino = Genius

[SCProduction2011]

My number one: Public Enemies.

PS: I see Michael Jackson. :)

[Casarzino]

who cares

[summerease]

His enthusiasm is infectious 

[Gavin48]

THE HANGOVER, DISTRICT 9

[str8ridah786]

drag me to hell?! is he trolling?

[socmel82]

@str8ridah786 best movie of the year, man.

[TrailerParkUnicorn]

Hella cool he put funny ppl and observe and repot on here, those movies were really fucking underrated

[OralAgreement69]

quentin is the best movie maker writer/director (the hardest possible way to do movies, by the way) of the past 20 years. pulp fiction , inglorious basturds... every fuckin inch as good as goodfellas and the godfather

[MrInternetDude]

I love this guy, no homo

[baryon15]

He's probably gay.

[TheSilentAnnie]

how is it possible that a person that watches movies like that has his film as the 5th 'best' on imdb DD:

[Crazycrisps]

@TheSilentAnnie Because Pulp Fiction tops almost every movie ever made

[TheSilentAnnie]

@Crazycrisps i didn't say it's bad, i'm actually confused how someone that watches shit like that can make a good movie. and you should probably go check out a few italian films anyway

[chunkymilk]

@TheSilentAnnie >implying

[Golgafrinchan1]

His taste is cheap, but he's old

[baryon15]

is he gay?

[jed52]

@baryon15 hell the fuck no lol just look at the women he has dated, then I dare you to ask that question again lol

[Pinkassville]

shit movies

[mbrosset318]

By, Curious? Ask Quentin

[aussieconservative]

whatever people want to say about Quentin, whether they like his movies or not, he is an old school fan of cinema. So impressed by his breadth of knowledge about Australian cinema as well. this guy really knows his stuff.

[strangejonesbitch]

district 9 is so good! give it another go Quentin!

[SurfaceCollison]

He is so cool.

[zenburger]

bright star was awesome, lovely bones what a dud

[S2Cents]

QT is intentionally provocative here, seems to me. There's some question as to why some obviously amazing films are not mentioned

[RussianAssassin21]

How the fuck did Observe and Report make his list over District 9?

[goldenmage]

It would be so cool if Tarantino had his own internet show, with reviews of every movie as he sees it, and a list of his favorite movies of every year.

[ikilledAeris]

@goldenmage He'd be the one for that kind of thing.

[saqibk1]

I would rather hear David Lynch´s top 8.

[trentkill]

Love The Drag Me To Hell mention. AWesome movie.

[fredrik91holmen]

he pronounced "Invictus" wrong

[zigifrojd]

Precious is bullshit, "color purple" is good film, but "Precious" is highly overrated bullshit, "Education" is excellent film.

[clutchcityrockets]

@zigifrojd If Oprah hadn't backed that film it wouldn't have got the attention it did

[zigifrojd]

@clutchcityrockets What film I mention you mean, you mean "Precious" I presumme.

[clutchcityrockets]

@zigifrojd Yeah, she produced it. Along with Tyler Perry

[zigifrojd]

@clutchcityrockets Also "do the right thing" is great film, with real structure, great directing, picture, photography, acting, story, atmosphere and art direction. No wonder know bullshit film like "Precious" suckseeded when Oprah is involved.

[oguibog]

what a surprise he has a very american taste of movies

i can't understand how he loves allen's anything else

[10HAPPYGILMORE]

Observa and Report was God Awful.

[taffybuttocks]

District 9 is so much better than avatar

[BboyArmo]

lol drag me to hell was #2 ??? how?

[Bob27Fat]

1. Inglourious Basterds

2. Star Trek

3. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

4. District 9

5. The Expendables

[ThePk1976]

district 9 and inglourious basterds were my top 2 of 2009. observe and report was not a terrible film but too easily forgettable

[Ichiboy900]

Inglorious Basterds and a Serious Man were the best films of 2009. What a year for Jews.

[MrRazorblade999]

Good directors don't necesarily have good taste in other movies

[seigneurvoland666]

omg drag me to hell was horrible

[burgerboot]

I can't believe Observe and Report is on there. It's kinda glaring juxtaposed with those other films. Haha.

[megafoned]

1:13 is fucking awesome--and press 3 to see quentin say Elvis

[paolobernardini]

Up in the Air??? ahhaha

[M4F1990]

that drag me to hell shot in this scared the living shit out of me

[nanutek]

ENTER

[mnm483]

district 9^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[Alimantado91]

It would easier if Tarantino just listed the films he didn't like. It'd be a small list.

[TheHiddenAnswer]

inception was 1 of the worst movies ive ever seen, and all the hype around it makes me hate it even more.

[Ibringthetruth1]

@TheHiddenAnswer

hated it. very forgettable. hate 'leo' too.

[mmtna]

@TheHiddenAnswer so true man inception ,avatar and social network were all crap over hyped pieces of shit

[ReallyBigJump]

@mmtna I agree that Avatar and The Social Network (though both amazing movies in their own right) were a little too hyped up to live up to what people were expecting, however I think that Inception was a fantastic film and truly a piece of art. The hype was huge, and rightfully so. It's a movie that doesn't wait for the audience to catch up and one that has a real message behind it that is sometimes hard to get the first time around.

[MaghoxFr]

@mmtna fucking AGREE!

[fluff975]

funny people? OBSERVE AND REPORT?

[skulljoint]

No Dark Knight?

Im suprised.

[spuffpod]

@skulljoint The Dark Knight came out in 2008. I think it would be on his list for 2008. ;-)

[skulljoint]

@spuffpod Woops, your right, my bad.

[coolguy111ish]

interesting



[snappycatchy]

This makes me think they should have the Alternate vote for the Oscars. I think the winner would be better.

[saqibk1]

Would rather here Polanski´s top 8, or Kubrick´s if he lived.

[Nirisbot]

@saqibk1 Here are Kubrick's 10: 1. I Vitelloni (Federico Fellini, 1953) , 2. Wild Strawberries (Ingmar Bergman, 1958) , 3. Citizen Kane (Orson Welles, 1941) , 4. The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (John Huston, 1948) , 5. City Lights (Charles Chaplin, 1931) , 6. Henry V (Laurence Olivier, 1945) , 7. La Notte (Michelangelo Antonioni, 1961) , 8. The Bank Dick (W.C. Fields, 1940) , 9. Roxie Hart (William Wellman, 1942) , 10. Hell's Angels (Howard Hughes, 1930)

[saqibk1]

@Nirisbot Cool, what about Polanski´s top 10???

[JuntMonkey]

@Nirisbot Kubrick's favorite film for a while was Eraserhead.

[DXslilgangsta]

are me and Tarantino really the only people that liked observe and report ?

[AlexanderOlcay]

@DXslilgangsta I actually was surprised how much Iliked Observe And Report. lol go figure.

[neonatalpenguin]

No Up?

[jacknicklaus99]

observe and report sucked

[holtmanlikesguitar]

everytime i see him talk i just picture that scene from Pulp Fiction. "CAUSE STORIN' DEAD NIGGERS AINT MY FUCKIN BUSINESS THATS WHY!" lolol

[jkd914]

wow he's quite normal hahaha

[weirdcitykid]

Sad to say I haven't seen half of these movies but sure will now.

[AnkokuEvangeline]

@Audi0Phil Dude, he was obviously talking about recent movies! I'm not sure they were all done in the same year, but it seems so.

[paranapoleon]

for me Quention appears like the coolest ''retard'' on planet. xD

in real life he acts like the actors in his films. ;)

[heyula07]

Good old quentin. Cant wait to see django unchained...

[MarkOhMighty]

@Audi0Phil those were his top 8 movies of 2009 only

[fede018]

@1353214531 No problem. Kick-Ass was QT's 11th favorite film of 2010. You can see the rest of the list here: filmjunk. com/2011/01/04/quentin-taranti­nos-top-20-films-of-2010/

[fede018]

@1353214531 i was talking about Ebert. He hated Kick Ass

[spacejesusadventure]

His voice DOES NOT suit him.

[ewanmcfadyen]

I think Up was neglected. Not Tarantino's type of film, but I think 90% of us would put that in top 8 of that year.

[reservoirdog666]

@ewanmcfadyen His favorite film of 2010 was Toy Story 3 lol. But Observe and Report :/ why Quentin lol.

[malows1234]

this director is such a fucking joke, i mean funny people? star trek one? what in the fuck is he thinking.

[mofiziul]

pulp fiction ...masterpiece!

[jonisafreak3]

We all know reservoir dogs was tarantinos best film...

[mmtna]

AVAtar sucked ass

[tudor09051989]

@mmtna avatar suck your mother!!!it was a great movie!!

[goldAUsilverAG]

@tudor09051989 Amen. People only hate it because it did so well and because they lack an imagination.

[TheBoomViper]

@mmtna

To a minority of haters maybe.

[Corpzmaker91]

@mmtna avatar was pretty cool, the graphics was mind blowing, and totally epic, and im a huge tarantino fan!

[razorath92]

@mmtna Disagree.

[10HAPPYGILMORE]

@mmtna Agreed

[magicx3434]

@mmtna you say so,mr or miss nobody

[brncosdood41]

Drag me to hell sucked dick.

[LeeCDylan]

Love the fact that he included Drag Me To Hell, that is such an underrated movie!

[Myrovlytis]

I bet there is a human leg in his fridge!

[cbr0oks]

how was district 9 not on the list after seeing it once?

[alifelesscritic]

qt`s favs ="shit films i`d STEAL shit from"

[tarantinoisahack]

Star Trek and Funny People. Tarantino really is an idiot. He is the ultimate fanboy director and it's either idiots or fanboys who watch and defend him.

[savoirjoker]

@tarantinoisahack I second that.

[PyrofreakStudios]

@tarantinoisahack i think some critics would defend him too. roger ebert likes him.

[tarantinoisahack]

@PyrofreakStudios Ebert! Isn't he the old fart who hated Kickass, like more than other movies which did suck worse? And isn't he the moron who said video games aren't art, only to later admitt he was wrong? Nah man Kermode's just barely, the only critic worth listening to.

[PyrofreakStudios]

@tarantinoisahack I bet Ebert likes a lot of movies you like, but you call him an idiot for not liking a movie you like? Come on dude, let people have opinions and dont be that prick that watches videos of people they apparently hate so they can say shit about them.

[tarantinoisahack]

@PyrofreakStudios There's an opinion and then there's just being a prick. Ebert is known to be generous to movie these days anyways, and I don't want to go watchin crap. What Ebert said about video games is so stupid that it proves he is archaic and outdated.

[fede018]

@tarantinoisahack he also hated Kick-Ass (have you read his awful review)? wich it was brilliant!

[cinema0fanboy]

I was never a fan of the Star Trek series, no because I hate it but I just never saw it for the most part of my life. But the 2009 Star Trek film was awesome!!

[fede018]

@cinema0fanboy same here

[SannahMarie]

I'm disappointed that he chose Drag Me to Hell as number 2. That movie was horrid.

[KingHobum]

@SannahMarie you kidding? that movie was HILARIOUS! and very intentionally so. everything about it was so over the top and absurd but so god damn fun to watch and, at the same time, so well executed. Seriously the directing was solid. At the very least, can't you see that this is the kind of self-aware, well-directed, niche genre shlock that Tarintino absolutely LOVES?

I mean it's not an intelligent movie, and it's not gonna win any oscars. But it's so...perfect...

[ivyshoots]

"Invickidus" lol

[levimon]

man, what the fuck tarantino? precious over an education? who paid you off?

[Ashloomis]

That Taratino sure watches alot of movies, I wonder if that's how he learned to direct.

[Hellzyead]

He didn't even include "A Prophet," which was my favorite film of that year..."Mary and Max," "Tulpan," "Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call, New Orleans," or "Antichrist"

[tremontirocks]

@Hellzyead You are really pretentious.

[Hellzyead]

@tremontirocks get over it and cry somewhere else

[tremontirocks]

@Hellzyead But I'm not crying.

[blaiserfilms]

@Hellzyead thats because willem dafoe cums blood and vagina's get cut up in anti christ. yeah, definitely one of the best of the year.....

[Hellzyead]

And as for "Drag Me to Hell," that was mediocrity at its finest. Took itself way too seriously. "Evil Dead 2" was way better. The ending was seen coming miles away.

[ProRanting]

@Hellzyead Drag Me to Hell was perfect in it's own right. It wasn't too on the comic side nor was it boring. It was fast, fun, and the grotesque gross out horror that we loved Evil Dead for. The ending was easy to see coming only for horror fans. I had eight people watch the film one night and none of them saw the end coming. I think it's a horror fan kind of deal. It wasn't as good as Evil Dead 2, but it was fine. 

[Hellzyead]

@ProRanting "The Exorcist" still reigns supreme, for me, in the balls-to-the-wall horror department. And you can't beat "Dead Alive" for splatstick or the original "Dawn of the Dead" for pure gory entertainment...all great with a bowl of herb...top off with some beers and John Carpenter's "The Thing"

[ProRanting]

@Hellzyead I love all your picks, but I never really liked The Exorcist. The director seemed to slowly introduce the concept of a possession like the audience wouldn't buy it or something. Almost too slowly. Only half way through did he seem to realize he was making a horror movie.

Along the line of Horror Comedy Braindead (Dead Alive), American Werewolf in London, and Evil Dead 2. I love The Thing, Kubricks The Shinning, and 28 Days Later. (BRILLANT). And Silence of the lambs.

[juggalizzle4izzle]

@ProRanting try funny games!

[freespereet]

@juggalizzle4izzle no way man all the movies you liste are really violent or gory, and if you watch funny games with that spirit you're missing the point of the film. it aims to criticize the violence in hollywood and how the spectator accepts it. it doesn't fit in the same category as the other films at all.

[Ashloomis]

@freespereet Whether it wants to or not, I feel Funny Games sort of does fall into that ctegory of film despite being a criitque of it. It's sort of to torture porn what Watchmen is to superhero comics. (And I'm talking about the comic, not the shitty film, I wish I didn't have to say that now.)

[freespereet]

@Ashloomis the director is aware that his film is centred on violence, and so he expects the spectator to be repulsed by it, maybe even leave before the film ends.

[juggalizzle4izzle]

@freespereet thats the point lol its different...thats why i like it

[Hellzyead]

"Funny People" was a piece of shit, at best. Boring and unfunny and worthless in terms of a storyline (aka pretentious). It had no redeeming value at all and cancelled out all of Apatow's decent films ("The 40-Year-Old Virgin") just by being so douchy and bland as adam sandler's goddamn range (yeah, you really went out on a limb with that "Punch Drunk Love" simpleton character [have a bathroom fit, don't improv, be shy and semi brooding--there ya go, genius, douche])

[3nasacova]

No return times, no late fees.

What if I order the movie, watch it, then never post it back?

They win this one. They are hiring a movie to you that you can buy at the Warehouse for 2 dollars.

So why would I rent it from FATSO if I can just buy it from the Warehouse for less than 1 weeks rental from FATSO?

Well I don't know!

The fact that they keep advertising and paying for it means that there are some major dummies out there.

[3nasacova]

Have you ever seen a company advertising heavily on TV and thought that won't work?

Well these guys thought that to hence the heavy advertising.

"Post me a DVD, I'll watch it and post it back".

That my friends is a business model.

"People are not going to send away for a film on DVD via the post! They want to watch it now!

Business models have nothing to do with reality.

[3nasacova]

why does no one say the obvious, does quentin tarantino have an ugly face?

[spiderpig76]

true romance best eva !!



[TheBeertjeRulez]

He is such an awesome nerd

[blavia77]

I like his list but i hated funny people... did anyone else find it dull?

[onetrashdancer]

what a fucking Finochio fruit cake fag ass bitch you are Quentin :)

[ANASTASIACHAVEZVLOG]

It's hard to acknowledge other films when you're basically making the greatest movies that Hollywood is currently producing :P

[DaSpartan71]

Hahaha Quinton, you just really love those independent Asian films that literally maybe 3 people now about

[devilxking2]

@DaSpartan71 But they're good.

[cinema0fanboy]

@DaSpartan71 Thailand has a population of 67 mil. And Asia has 3.8 bil. So that's enough people!

[nilesrules666]

@DaSpartan71 Shut up you ignorant fool. At least spell his name right if you're going to criticise.

[JazzyZenBrotha]

@DaSpartan71 - Actually more people worldwide "know about" those Asian films that Quentin Tarantino loves. Critics worldwide watch cinema from everywhere. Keep in mind that outside of the USA people actually have expanded their horizons beyond Hollywood.

[Bobamawesome]

@JazzyZenBrotha Making assumptions about the entire population of a nation with 330 million people makes you look like an idiot.

[JazzyZenBrotha]

@Bobamawesome - It takes one to know one.

[IsaakHunt]

@JazzyZenBrotha

You might on that, but in a lot of countries asian movies go direct to Video. Hollywood dominates cinemas around the world.

At least in Europe, I think, it's almost the same as in the US. Asian movies are rather a niche than mainstream here. But people who are into movies everywhere around the world don't care, where movies come from. Of cause, there's also the language barrier, which imho is an important factor.

[JazzyZenBrotha]

@IsaakHunt - Part 1: I lived in S. Korea for 2 years. Korean films are box office successes in their country. Not many go direct to video. But you're right about Hollywood dominating. That's true. So then that debunks the "language barrier" for those countries watching Hollywood. However in the USA, language barrier is a big deal. But it also gets down to plain laziness of the viewer. If the film is good & has good ratings then language shouldn't matter as long as subtitles or voice-overs exist

[JazzyZenBrotha]

@IsaakHunt Part 2: As I was saying, it comes down to laziness of the viewer. In other countries they don't mind watching a film in another language. If anything, it provides them an opportunity to learn something new about a different culture or country. Sadly though, many of my fellow Americans don't care to watch a subtitled film. But when I give them an incentive of $100 for every subtitled film they watch then they QUICKLY change. Suddenly watch international films isn't so bad. How ironic

[IsaakHunt]

@JazzyZenBrotha

I think that I need to mention that I'm from Germany, and I don't think it's much different here. The vast majority of viewers rejects subtitles, everything is dubbed here, from tv series, to movies, even fake 'scripted reality' fake documentaries. German movies have a marketshare of ca. 30%, the rest is predominantly US-stuff. Few movies from other countries are shown in every theater.

I think the situation is the same in France and Italy.

[IsaakHunt]

@IsaakHunt

I for myself always hated dubbing, as good as dubbings may be in my country. US-dubs are really sub-par compared to german ones, really.

So there might not be a language barrier, when you can't tell, if they originally speak English or not. Still quite a lot of people reject movies from other places than the English speaking world here. I have no idea why, never mattered to me. I suppose, it's a cultural thing.

People with knack for movies don't mind, but the mainstreamviewer does

[JazzyZenBrotha]

@IsaakHunt - I see. Thank you for the insight. I didn't know how it was in Germany, and for that matter, in France and Italy as well.

Well the good thing from all this, I suppose, is that where ever I travel, it will be good to know that my country's movies and music is well known and admired.

[BrianMacDougall722]

@JazzyZenBrotha 

[CheddarBob39]

@JazzyZenBrotha

Keep in mind you are just a bullshitter/retard who has a big ego and is making up complete bullshit for your own satisfaction and no they don't. ( : AND YOU FUCKING KNOW I'M RIGHT YOU FUCKING RETARD SO CRAWL INTO A CORNER, COVER YOUR UGLY FACE, AND PUNCH YOURSELF REPEATEDLY UNTIL YOU PASS OUT/OR DIE FROM LOSS OF BLOOD. ( : YOU WILL MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER/SMARTER PLACE. That is all.

[ryry500000]

@JazzyZenBrotha Definitely one of the more pretentious troll comments I've read in awhile.

[JuliusBonapart]

@DaSpartan71 Yes, because there's 3 people in Asia.

Oh wait, you don't count asians as people. Asshat.

[mook5555]

QT really seems to like the Rogen/Apatow movies, looking at his lists from 2009 and 2010

[tedwilli9]

His opinion I suppose, but some of these weren't that good. Inglorious was a pretty bad-ass B/A film

[95Wilhelm]

i fucking love this guy

[strudel89]

this is as interesting as when he explained the scene where american dude in german ebay purchased costume #24 throws the garbage in scene 16,and whats up with his shirt?hes like yeah its got buttons but i dont use them cause im rebel,it looks like the cheap shirt he used in the high school where he didnt graduate

[65daysofAphex]

bullshit! watch tarantino´s top 20 movies!
