With his latest film Inglourious Basterds, Quentin Tarantino has cemented his reputation as the most interesting and innovative directors of our time. Perhaps what makes him so good is his obvious passion for film.
That makes this clip, where Quentin names his favorite flicks of the last 17 years, intriguing viewing.
1992 may seem like an arbitrary year at first, but it marked the release of Tarantino’s debut, Reservoir Dogs. So this list becomes a kind of reference point for the director, giving us a glimpse into what influences him today.
It’s a surprising list, packed with the usual cinematic suspects and some really interesting obscure choices. It inspires me to take a trip to the video store to track some of those titles down!
