We have seen legendary Quentin Tarantino whip up masterpieces, but have we seen him name his favourite movies of the 21st century? Indeed, we have!
Appearing on The Bret Easton Ellis Podcast, Tarantino unveiled his top picks for this century. The only rule: one film per director. Much to our expectations, most of Tarantino’s picks are violent and lean into the horror genre. The filmmaker even described why he loved them.
Just so you know, Tarantino only named those from 20 through 11; the rest will be revealed on the next episode, which drops every Wednesday morning.
