Quentin Tarantino’s Top 20 Movies Since 1992

Quentin Tarantino lists his Top 20 favorite movies made since he directed his first movie in 1992. You can’t argue with these, he’s not saying they are the best, he’s just saying they were his favorites. Fair enough. I’ve seen 15 of the 20. And many of them are very good. “Battle Royale” and “Shaun of the Dead” are two of my personal favorites as well.

  1. To this day I still find “Lost in Translation” insufferable. A narcisistic vanity project with no dramatic conflict whatsover. This movie could have been 20 minutes long and would hve been the exact same thing. That would have spared me an hour and a half of my life because I can only glide on mood and tone for so long.

    But I’m glad he mentioned “The Insider.” “heat is still the top Michael Mann film for me but I’m glad this one is getting some mention.

  2. ”Lost In Translation”? ”Anything Else”? ”Friday”? I didn’t know Tarantino was a sensitive type of a person. ”Toy Story 3”, ”Tangled” and ”Midnight in Paris” are also some of his favorites since 2010

  3. Hello I am so grateful I found your site, I really found
    you by error, while I was browsing on Bing for something else, Nonetheless I am here now and would
    just like to say thanks a lot for a remarkable
    post and a all round interesting blog (I also love the theme/design), I don’t have time to read through it all at the moment but I have saved it and also added your RSS feeds, so when I have time I will be back to read more, Please do keep up the superb work.

    1. It’s true! I do think Lost in Translation is a great film though so I don’t fault him for choosing it.

      Can’t say the same about “Anything else”. I saw it and don’t remember a single line, scene, character…nothing. Nothing about it stuck with me.
      Such is the subjective nature of film though I guess.
