Song: www.epidemicsound.com/track/a..., Quentin
He didn’t choose to talk about Fight Club
Finally, someone followed the goddamn rules!
F C K Fight club .. its not very good movie .. and director is so overrated by people with no brains .. >)
@@bukkuk5949 F C K you ... you're not a very good critic
@@bukkuk5949 what films do YOU like dickhead?
Don't give attention to those who don't deserve it
Love how when listing number 8 as Fight Club, he observes the first and second rules of Fight Club
Man, your comment literally gave me chills!!
Which is?
@@stephanea5364 You don't talk about fight club
David Finchers Seven is better than Fight Club.
@@dionisioiacobelli6689 that's your opinion
Shamalamadingdong… we all say it, but I can’t believe he did in the interview 😂
Hahaha caught me off guard and cracked me up
😂
U young idiots don't even know what movie that's from 😂
Nah man I actually laughed out loud at that 😂
Dumb comment
I love that he put “Friday” “Team America” and “Shaun of the dead” on the list. Most don’t acknowledge comedies or put them in the same category-list of greatest films.
Team America was a documentary and you shouldn't laugh at it.
Shaun of the dead is a bloody symphony in a frame. It’s elite.
@@ianallen738 lol
I’ve always been a fan of Quentin, but when he added shaun of the dead I became an even bigger fan, that movie is a comedy masterpiece
Kingpin. Burbs are in my top 25. And I fucking HATE comedies
Im sure Morbius would be on this list today.
Hah hah hah !
Morbius is bullshit
@@subhanasadli8617 he's being sarcastic but whatever
It's always a good time for Morbin time
@@anuph.3806 i dont think he was, the morb in morbius was trully well done
I saw The Matrix without ever knowing what it was actually about. Best movie experience of my life, and ever since then, I don't watch trailers.
I did the same with avatar, then ended up watching it 3 times while it was still in the cinema. Definitely the best way to go into a movie
@@MF_JONES Absolutely, TRAILERS are useless! In my case, long story short, I went to watch it without wanting to watch it as I had seen 3 seconds of the trailer and they were jumping from one building to another (Morpheous during training) and I said "NO WAY I WILL EVEN WATCH THAT GARBAGE"... and needless to say: It blew my mind.
Never heard of Braveheart, went to it with my buddies hungover…Never replicated that experience
Same. I didn't watch 2 and 3 for sake of its greatness.
Had the same experience with The Matrix, didn't know what it was about, was pretty much blown away. I like the comment Tarantino makes about Speed, being what it was back then, going to a movie theater and watching it. I kind of have the same thing for movies like Days of Thunder and Jurassic Park. Thrilling to watch in a movie theater, but maybe not later on on a tv screen when you get older. Battle Royale is bonkers, it's unorthodox and god damn strange, watching it wanted me to see more asian movies. Think I will watch some of the movies he mentions.
His comments on the Matrix, specifically on the sequels ruining it, were spot on.
Yeah the fact that people love the trilogy and now a fourth movie as a whole baffles me. I never even bothered with that animatrix crap. But I introduced my stepdaughter to matrix and she asked to watch the second one and I was just like... no we can watch the first one again if you want...
@@johnnypottseed I love the 1st movie and also hated the sequels for having so many plot holes. And the 4th is just cringy. But I also like The Animatrix, I think that it plays rightfully with the concepts of the original movie.
Memories of Murder still haunts me to this day. Left me with a profound hopelessness for humanity. I love Bong Joon Ho's brilliant mash-up of horror, slapstick, family melodrama, and bureaucratic incompetence. He effortlessly blends all genres in all his films.
oh shut up idiot
One good news, the actual killer was arrested couple years? ago
It's his greatest movie by far
If a film made you feel hopeless about humanity, you've remained blind on purpose. You don't need a film to tell you that, just a pair of eyes. Look around you!
Also really liked the role reversal of the composed metropolitan and the rural hot-heads towards the end.
You can tell he's a true director and lover of the arts by how diverse this list is.
I was once naive on this level.
Then I watched '48 Hrs' for the 80th time.
Was that on the list?
Nope. POST-'92 only.
I smell FEET
@Adam Ratman you don't care then why comment?
Stupid behavior silly boy
@@yomamenification Yeah a "cinephile" sitting on his couch knows more about "the arts" than Quentin fucking Tarantino. He never once said these are the best movies since he became a director. He said they were his FAVORITES.
@@slow.poetry lol so zero bad movies? Diversity for the sake of diversity is anti diversity nonsense
@@yomamenification yes that is his level.
It’s amazing how he said “Memories of Murder directed by the same director who did The Host”. Ten years later, everybody in the world knew who Bong Joon Ho was :)))
The Host was great!
Tbh I got to know who he was after watching parasite
Quentin only watched FIGHT CLUB once every 5 years or longer... He respects it so much. It ruins other movies for him.
@@Habeev07 you broke the rule
When I was a teenager I found a "Memories of Murder" dvd in the trash. First South Korean movie I watched. Since then I've watched dozens of them. Wonderful.
Unbreakable getting the recognition it deserves makes me so happy
Dazed and confused is probably one of my favorite comfort movies ever!! I can watch that over and over and will never get sick of it.
But they hunt and assault children!
Love how he starred Bruce Willis in his most popular movie ever - Pulp Fiction - yet recognizes Bruce's best performance was in someone else's movie. Loved Unbreakable.
Doubt unbreakable is his best performance....12 monkeys would probably be his best.
What is a hero without a villain
Die hard 1 was one of his best too.. that’s what put him on the map 100%. Arguably one of the best action movies ever made and I don’t think anyone could of played that role anywhere close to Bruce.
well obviously he wouldn't name one of his own movies as favorite on this list
@@rossegan7244 In 12 monkeys Brad Pitt stole the show... :-)
So great to know a great director like Quentin appreciates Friday.
And Team America, lol
I prefer Next Friday to Friday tbh
My grandmama gave me that chain
@@sugs1191 I really desagree
It would be nice if he appreciated Bruce lee 😂 this guy is Ball shit crazy about not liking Bruce 😂 Quentin Tarantino is overrated 😂
The ending of Unbreakable is a masterpiece in cinematic history ❤
it was very subtle, simple breaking and rape case, as opposed to the world in trouble, but it brought it back to the importance of individuals who desperately need help
Tarantino has some of the most well-rounded views on movies. He watches Japanese, Korean, Chinese, American, British etc. movies and his lists always contain a mix of all kinds of genres. Horror, Action, Comedy, Romance, Sci-Fi etc.
'In Bruges" wasn't on his list. His opinions aren't well rounded, and he's now dead to me.
Seeing the matrix in theater was one of the most exhilarating movie experiences I’ve ever had
It took some years before I rented Matrix on VHS cause I thought it wasn't for me. Immediately after seeing it I played it once more. And the morning after. Since then I've watched it for...countless times...same with Fight Club, Kill Bill, Tootsie and Persona by Ingmar Bergman. Countless times.
Its hard to describe what it was like seeing the matrix for the first time in theater in context…people were losing their minds
Dude.. when he just said "No" to the bullets coming at him, my theater went wild.
@@slayerhuh404it was like a concert 😂🎉❤
Only movie ive seen 7 times in the cinema
This man, without a hint of irony, just listed Police Story 3 right after Memories of Murder. Love that Quentin just unapologetically loves what he loves, none of that elitist BS
It's alphabetical order
@@rezabayani8582 still
@@alexthelion422 still, Tarantino unapologetically has a variety of movie types on this list. That was OP's main point. We know how alphabets work
And Shaun of the Dead haha thats why he's Quentin
But no Leon or hard boiled
Would love to see his favorite movies of the current last decade. We need an updated list.
I would be surprised to see any movie made in hollywood on thar list...
@@viktordoe1636 He’s expressed his love for 1917 and Dunkirk so you’d be surprised
@@TheProphegy yeah it was actually a pretty good one. Then let's say I'd be surprised if there was more than 3 american movies on the list
@@TheProphegyDunkirk is such a masterpiece
@@viktordoe1636 Be ready to be surprised, then, Capt. Clueless. You hipster douches w/ all your 'cool' cynicism can't see what cliched tools you are. Look how many there are on this list alone.
This is one of the best things a director of bis stature can do, to spout praises to lesser known/foreign directors and their works to an audience that may not have otherwise seen them
Made a real difference that the man himself was telling us his favourite films, not just a random voiceover reading a list they'd gotten from a magazine.
yes
Lost in Translation is a movie I can watch over and over, the two main characters are all the movie needs to make it a masterpiece.
I don’t get it. I tried watching it twice and fell asleep from boredom. I’ll have to give it another try.
@@howtodoitdude1662 Its a love story, old man loves young girl, usually a recipe for self destruction, the beauty of the film is that it takes the story to the brink, the nuances keep pushing you in the wrong direction, yet you still get the wonderful happy ending without the carnage. The mature Japanese escort is in itself a masterful scene.
dont think i've seen it
@@Vincent-dc6ku Its not a ''a love story, old man loves young girl, '' you probably didnt get nothing about the movie. it's about friendship and loneliness
@@Vincent-dc6ku It's about loneliness, isolation and feeling lost. Imagine being the biggest actor in the world in the biggest city in the world, except you can't speak their language, you aren't inclined to their fast-pace of life or customs and you just don't feel yourself.
Scarlett's character is feeling all of the exact same things, except she is young and confused. Their bond isn't because they would ever be friends in the real world, it's out of desperation and a feeling of normalcy.
"It's a love story" is the farthest thing from the truth.
This is legit “GOLD” Thank you for sharing this with us🤙🏼
My sister in law was the one that turned me on to Battle Royal and i thank her still to this day for bringing that absolute gem into my life
Tarantino is a director/writer who genuinely loves the art form. I'd love to hear him discuss what makes a film notable vs one of these favorites. Some of them he doesn't even discuss.
True this.
I think he just says something if he thinks there is something to say that hasn't been said a million times, take praise for the fight club. He mentions the movie and moves on, with the Matrix which judging by what he said he likes less than many of the others on the list, yet he commented on it quite extensively -compared to the others anyway.
He has a scattered mind and I'm sure could and would talk extensively about all of them if asked a question.
Wow. Tarantino don't know shit about movies. I'm kinda surprised tbh, but it explains the dumpster fire that is once upon a time in Hollywood.
How many times are you gonna reply with this comment?
Literally laughed out loud when he said M night Shamalama ding dong
Came off a bit disrespectful, the least he could do is properly say the man's name instead of the same joke every 3rd grader since 98 has been making.
@@carmichaelk.5214 Well, he is terrible so whatever ding dong
@@carmichaelk.5214 what a dumb thing to say. You don't know what their relationship is like.
@@carmichaelk.5214 He put one of his movies in his top 20 movies for that time period. That’s enough respect right there.
@@robcook8456 really? You think he'd make that tired-ass joke if they were actually friends?
I love he put Speed in there, such a great action movie.
My grandma and I watched it until the VHS was shot when I was a kid.
Sadly I was a bit too young to see it in theaters but I do adore that film to this day.
Totally underrated.
excellent list, especially him calling M Night Shamalamadingdong 🤣
"The same director who did The Host" is *the director of the first non-English film to win the best picture at the Oscars* (though awards don't mean much) QT saw and acknowledged the excellence of Bong Joon Ho long before Hollywood.
He was on a lot of people's radar since 'Barking Dogs Never Bite' and massively influencial outside of America for the past 20 years.
Wasn’t so happy when he won over him at the oscars tho
@@monotonous1763 why tho?
It was arguably the best of the nominees unless you think Irishman should've won, which I think was epic.
It was not that hard to recognize those movies. Parasite is not even the best korean movie IMO. Memories of Murder, The Wailing, The Handmaiden are above it, again, IMHO.
So is Memories of Murder
Everyone always looks at me funny when I call him M. Night shamalamadingdong and the fact that tarantino said it just makes me want to say it even more.
The fact that he put Friday is insane, but not surprising.
I’ve shown that film to basically everyone I’ve known, from work friends to college roommates, and everyone has agreed it’s incredibly entertaining and relatable.
This is the information I have been longing for.
The dude has a wide range of tastes, which explains why so many people like his movies.
Yeah theyy suck
I'm 32 and so lucky I'm the age I'am. People around my age are the chosen generation. BOOMERS RULE. So much culture. MY youth was filled with movies like:
FRIDAY (watched at friends house age 7?)
MATRIX (saw at home age 12ish)
FIGHT CLUB (watched as class in Freshman English 2003)
SHAWN OF THE DEAD (saw at my friends at age 14/15?)

I heard Battle Royal was released "in the year two-thou-SAAAND"
Thanks for the list, saved me watching this video
3 South Korean movies that I can recognise! Anyhow Memories of Murder... 10/10.
@@GavriloPewPew omg I even read it in the voice 🤣🤣I still say it like that too sometimes. No one ever gets it 😒
Battle Royal...finally,a man of taste. Well done sir,well done.
I hope Quentin makes a science fiction film one day. Idk if he’s even interested in that genre all that much but I just feel like it would be interesting to see what he could come up with cus we’ve never seen him do anything like that before
A Tarantino Sci Fi? That would be like Firefly wouldn't it? Like a space western.
Or you could do a supernatural earth based Sci fi film. Maybe like a Signs movie where it's mostly suspense mixed with guns but they aren't shooting the aliens, they're shooting each other. Probably based in slave times and it's some racist white vs black cuz the slaves got some cool alien technology and the white owners are jealous.
Do you see a sign that says dead alien storage?
That would be something about gangsters dismembering aliens. 👽
Great list! Awesome mix of genres.
Nothing affirms your own view of movies more than seeing one of your favorite directors calling out your favorite film - the Matrix - as one of the greatest and simultaneously calling out the sequels for ruining the whole franchise.
yeman, especially being to the cinema for part 4 :D waste of time, money and the brain capacity
i love matrix 2 and 3 too, but of course the first one is in a league of its own
The sequels are just as deep but the message goes over most people's head, this is also why the last one is also the most hated.
The sequels didn't ruin it. They expanded it. People misunderstand those movies, they are great.
Agree 💯
It was so random seeing Friday on this list and I love it!
Dragonball: _Evolution_ ???
Disagree random. 30 percent of the list was based on ground breaking "items'. Team America, Friday, etc all ground breaking going where the curve had not been.
It's made me want to watch it, whereas the clip on Netflix that acts as the trailer had put me off.
This is incredibly useful
Memories of Murder is my favorite for now. I have to watch the others. Fight Club was mind boggling. Friday I loved it for Chris Tucker
Bong Joon Ho is a great director. Love how QT appreciates him
I'm glad he included a Park Chan-wook film. That director deserves a whole lot more recognition. I am positive that if Tarantino made this list including the year 2016, he would have picked The Handmaiden as one of the best. That movie is a beautiful experience
Definitely. I'm surprised Oldboy (2003) wasn't on his list.
I am surprised Old Boy wasn't on his list.
Bizarre how he mentioned JSA which is a quite classic movie and not Sympathy for Mr Vengeance which is the weirdest and most experimental one he has done (and for me even his best one in general)
Awesome list!
Awesome list! My top 20 from 1992 to 2009 would include atleast 6 Quentin Tarantino films (maybe not Deathproof or Grindhouse). The top 20 films from that time period unarguable include Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill Vol 1, Kill Bill Vol 2, Jackie Brown, and Inglourious Basterds. Greatest Director of all time!
Nothing compares to the feeling I had when I watched the Matrix. So unexpected, so unbelievably refreshing. So beautiful.
True the first time was an incredibly fancy experience
i'd rather watch john wick than the matrix. tarantino was right. 2, 3, and 4 are garbage
@@drmorcoch9338 dude.
I love Tarantino but he is not The Prophet, he can miss too.
The Matrix is a perfect Trilogy.
I challenge you to write a more satisfying sequel and ending to The Trilogy. I'll wait.
John Wick has very good coreograghy and it's a fun watch, but has probably 1% of the writing, story, characters, originality, visual brillance of The Matrix.
Whole other level.
The Matrix was the first movie most people saw on DVD. It was right when people started getting DVD players more they had become a little less expensive and everyone would say, "You gotta watch the Matrix"
Nice fact
No one I know had a DVD player in the 90s
@@dylan8670 this was late 90s I didn't have one but had a rich friend that did
very true. thats kind of how the dark knight was with the blu ray players in 2008.
Wow iam from Peru and in fact the matrix was the first movie i ever saw on DVD
The host, what a movie! Contains everything and well put together.
Love the way he takes his top 20 seriously ,
I’m exactly like that with my top movies and songs , but to embarrassed to share it with people
Nice to see Memories of Murder on his list. I found it by accident and love that movie. I watch it every couple years. For a long time it was my little secret favorite nobody else knew about.
It's a masterpiece
I went to see “unbreakable” on its opening night and I recall feeling the same way. It really struck home for me and I considered it a masterpiece as well.
After Sixth Sense then Unbreakable we all thought M Night was the next Spielberg/Kubric. Then Signs and Village came out...
My only problem with his movies is that he always has a twist ending so even if you don’t know what it is you know its coming
I took a girl I was seeing to that film in 2000 and we were both totally enthralled with the film and not each other LOL. No regrets either.
M night masterpiece
@@benjaminmorton4958 I actually enjoyed signs and the village they're better than some of his movies that came after
Many thanks for the useful film tips, it is a special pleasure to watch a film, which was recommended by Mr. Q.T.!
Thank you QT, there are lots of films in that list I haven't seen either ever or in a LOOOOONG time - LOVE Unbreakable tho - it's definitely in my top ten.
I'm so glad to see people appreciate Unbreakable. Soooo under rated. I hope more people see it.
Best superhero movie made, maybe after dark knight
Who ever had not seen it. definitely watched after Split came out. I had to introduce that movie to several family members over the years. Its like nobody watched it when it came out. Really good movie though.
I watched Unbreakbable on a whim and thought what a wierd movie, never heard of it, crazy premise, Willis was amazing, why have I never heard of this?
Too bad "Split" and "Glass" shit all over it
@@Reggie1408 Split was alright. Because it was a stand alone movie until the last 5 minutes. But Glass? That sucked balls
Just realized this was one of the lists Bong Joon Ho was talking about in his Best Director Oscar speech. Quentin surely has good taste in international films, and most legendary directors do. Subtitles really partially removes the language obstacles of accessing some great masterpieces.
Subtitles are fine, dubbing destroys a movie.
@@sparqqling Depends on who is doing the dubbing. America's dubbing industry is awful, because we don't care. Spain's dubbing industry is incredible, they actually do a great job.
@@sparqqling I think that it also depends on the kind of movie/ the public that will watch it. My country don't produce a lot of animations, and without dubbing, I would not have had the opportunity to enjoy movies while growing up. Even today, I sometimes watch a movie dubbed and it's actually pretty good, at least where I live.
@@homerosouza2353 Fully disagree, I'm coming from a country with a few million native speakers most things beyond a target audience of 8 years old are subtitled. Dubbing is horrible for anything that is not an animation.
@@sparqqling Do you think a child would be happier reaching subtitles or having the pleasure of watching something on their own language? I have seen some dubbing that was horrible to the point of ruining the movie, but most of it was really good and fun to watch. Talking for myself, I always watch on the original language, but if well made, dubbing can be good as well. Maybe your country just don't have a good dubbing industry, idk.
Battle Royale is one of my all time favourites, what an incredible journey that movie is, it also inspired the hunger games and the “Battle Royale” game genre like PUBG etc.
and it inspired Squid Game
My favorite movies of all time, not just from 1992 to 2009, are all Quentin Tarantino movies. I get lost in each and every one of them. Engaging, intense and more than a hint of humor. Dark af. Scratches my cinematic itch. Hard and satisfyingly.
I do remember sitting in the movie theatre as that bus drove down that rode, and it was a hell of a ride. Easily forgotten now, but at the time, man.
Same thing with The Matrix. I'd give a lot to go back in that point in time, seeing it in the cinema for the first time.
That matrix 2 and 3 diss so accurate it’s hilarious.
and he could've followed up with the same joke about Speed 2 and 3, but chose not to. Wierd.
@@williamsawyer18 He said that the 2nd and 3rd Matrix ruined the mythology, and so that it made the first one less "magical". Speed 2 and 3 are just bad movies, they don't take anything of the first one ^^
@@williamsawyer18 wasn't a joke
Yeah, the 2nd and 3rd were like Call of Duty Cold War and Call of Duty Vanguard. They make you not even like Modern Warfare.
@@williamsawyer18 no hype surrounding Speed 2 and or 3 when it was announced and Keanu wasn't in those sequels , so no one cared.
It's insane how every time Quentin gives his opinions on film I insanely agree with everything he says, just about 95% of the time.. he talked about how H20 is Jamie Lees best Halloween, and I totally agree.. that will always be my finale, I consider the David Gordon Greene trilogy fan fiction... How he talks about the Matrix being amazing, but 2, and 3 ruined it for him (didn't ruin it for me, I still love the original, and make up my own story for what happens after that masterpiece)... talks about how Unbreakable is one of the all time masterpieces of our time, and I couldn't agree more, one of my faves. Just dozens, and dozens of stuff he's said that I can't agree more with. Speed being one of the best adrenaline, edge of your seat films ever.. I could talk with this guy all day.
Insane
I agree with almost everything in his list but I can't grasp how anyone could mention Anything Else. It's one of Allen's worst movies.
My top twenty list starts with Inherit the Wind, 12 Angry Men, 7 Days in May, and Andromeda Strain. All these will keep you glued to your seat
Quentin seems to appreciate any film regardless of genre and that's what makes him great. Art is in many forms and the fact he put Friday, Police Story and Team America in with The Matrix and Unbreakable goes to show how diverse his pallet is. I respect his opinions on movies more than probably any director.
Also regardless of language it seems, which should be a give but still makes me so happy
Other than the new batch of steroid films… I mean super hero films
His taste is unpenetrably based
Wow. Tarantino don't know shit about movies. I'm kinda surprised tbh, but it explains the dumpster fire that is once upon a time in Hollywood.
I hope you make a series about directors talking about their favorite films. It's very interesting to see what their influences are. It's kinda like asking musicians what artists influenced their music.
I would’ve expect Oldboy on the list, as Tarantino pushed it forward during the Cannes Filmfestival in 2004. (Same year as Memories of Murder)
to be fair, this is only 20, and think about how many movies come out in the US alone every year, let alone worldwide, and this is a 17-year span. He probably had thousands to pick from.
That's wild. This was the first thing I thought of when I read his list.
@@carpeimodiem it's on his list now
Quentin is def right about Speed. After seeing the movie multiple times, its easy to just categorize it with the other straight forward action/thriller movies in your memory. But its definitely a great first watch movie
It's always nice to see him praise Speed because he was actually offered the chance to direct it himself.
I like that he has Dazed and Confused in this list and accurately says it is the greatest “hang out” movie of all time.
That movie actually made me regret being born too late.
Was not expecting him to list Friday but I think anyone who has seen it would agree it's a certified classic.
I'm going to watch every single one of these.
Which was your favorite?
Same
Bro that list is godlike😂👍🔥
"Memories of Murder" is simply outstanding. Best serial killer movie I have ever seen even above "Seven".
Avec you ever seen The Chaser (2008)? , also another amazing serial killer movie nearly as good as "Memories of Murder".
I Saw the Devil and Mr. Brooks are also great ones in my opinion.
@@Ogami0Itto Yes, I've seen all 3. I really enjoyed "I saw the devil" but I consider "Memories of Murder" my personal favourite. "The Yellow Sea" is another decent one.
@@dans2376 I liked "The Yellow Sea" a lot but I'm not sure I would consider this a serial killer movie though...
Have you seen Man Bites Dog , The Vanishing (1988) or I Am Not a Serial Killer?
I gotta find memories of murder somewhere. When I think serial killer movies the first two that come to mind are seven and citizen x.
Checkout I saw the Devil.
The Host and Memories of Murder are so underrated, even tho its the same director for Parasite. Great introduction to foreign filmmaking!
I wasn't a huge fan of parasite
Probably the most well thought out top 20 I’ve heard. Not that you’d expect anything less from the man ofcourse
It's just so fascinating to listen to this man. I'd love to find a similar vid, where he counts down the 20 movies b4 1992, that most inspired him. Any ideas/links...?
Listen to him talk about Dirty Harry and point blank. Those are 2 for sure. The good the bad and the ugly too.
He has a very good point about “Speed” it was awesome at the cinema
Terminator 2 blows "Speed" out the water.
@@stressfree420 ok
@@stressfree420 well snowflake, Terminator 2 was before 1992 so that copmarison is invalid.
He's right about the last 20 minutes though. Forgivable for sure though.
@@stressfree420 you might want to reread the topic.
As expected.. This list is A+++
Unbreakable is heartbreakingly unappreciated. Pure masterclass in story telling and film making.
Didn't know you were also a movie fan, that's awesome.
m night shamlamadyngdooons
you sold it
Totally agree! Underrated film and score by James Newton Howard
I kid you not, I'm brainstorming ideas for a film I want to make, a short film for now, and the other day I was actually thinking; 'what if Superman (or god), forgot/didn't know who he was?' Keen to check this film out.
Two Bong Joon Ho movies, Tarantino was ahead of the curve.
I never would have guessed that no Scorsese films made his Top 20 but one by Woody Allen did? And it's not even considered one of Allen's better films.
It's cool seeing such an amazing artist being envious of other artists. It really puts it all in perspective. At the end of the day, we're all just fans.
He's so right about the Matrix 2&3 ruining the Matrix series. Literally everyone berates me when I say this, but I'm satisfied that Tarantino thinks the same
i try and pretend they dont exist for a bit and solely view Matrix on its own, ill love it til the last of my days
@@jayyavid5363 I still haven't watched the other two...same with john wick
@@raskolnikov7034 they’re decent watches, both film series, just lack the majesty of the firsts.
Its so obvious. Who berates you?
Everyone has that opinion
I was very into korean films around 10 years ago and everyone of the mentioned I actually have in dvd. After the oscar won of Parasite people started to find them too and Memories of Murder and The Host is from the same director. JSA is Chan-Wook Park's whose done Oldboy (and multiple other great works like The Handmaiden and No Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance). If I would give another good examples then Chaser and I Saw The Devil are sooo good watches, just straight up adrenaline filled scenes and beautifully shot. Bittersweet Love is also one of my favorites, in that and I Saw The Devil is the same guy as the lead (and the same director). He is the actor who is found out to be the game-master in the Squid Game which it's kinda a revelation if into korean films. It fits really good because he actually can fight and does stunts so anyone who regocnized him would be like ok makes sense why he would have won the game 😅
The actor who starred in JSA, Bittersweet, ISTD, and Squid Game is Lee Byung-hun.
@@xose2863 indeed he is
Korean films are the best. Some other notable mentions: Night In Paradise, The Wailing, A Dirty Carnival, New World, Mother
@@adi_ridhwan there is too much to mention but The Wailing even tho yes I think it's very good I also think it got hyped up a bit too much for being so scary even tho the one obvious stand-out scene does give you chills. It's a good movie still. A Tale of Two Sisters was more so scary for me when I watched it and I just don't get scared easily by a movie. More like fun horror movie would be Train to Busan for example.
Also yeah New World is worth of mentioning I have watched it couple times. The Yellow Sea, A Hard Day, Tunnel is good. Madeo also is by the Parasite director Bong Joon Ho (most propably would know him from Snowpiercer or Okja), his first movie Barking Dogs Never Bite is tonally very weard black comedy and worth of seeing if into him. Memories of Murder feels more like him solidifying his style but the Barking Dogs is still a good watch (I must say there is violence towards dogs since westeners are quite sensitive towards that so, just to say 😅).
thanks ;D
Love how Quentin acknowledges Bong Joon-ho like ten years before Parasite. I've just seen Memories Of Murder (directly after Barking Dogs Don't Bite), and I love the guy completely. I wasn't that impressed by Parasite though as I saw it in 2020, I think you must know Korean movies a little bit
update: Just saw The Host. Well, indeed a fine movie, but is a bit too unsettling, especially regarding the finale. And Parasite has a lot of direct parallels with it
all film fans knew him before Parasite, only the western mainstream didn't know him
Update: saw Mother. Well, the guy kinda repeats himself. And it gets darker and darker even in comparison with Memories of a Murder, goddammit
Battle Royale is a piece of art! Love how diverse his list is!
It really is. The man knows his films.
Really interesting tbh, compared to the manga i thought the movie was trash imo
This is so bad lmao
@@sean2848 Depends on the order you experience the story. I watched the film first, so the novel and manga were so amazing afterwards because it fleshed out so much more of the story and characters. But I still appreciate the film for introducing me to the story in the first place.
If you read the novel or manga before watching the film, then I understand it would probably feel a bit underwhelming. It really should have been a trilogy or even a TV series so they didn't have to rush it so much.
A prequel film based on Shogo Kawada's first game would be especially awesome.
God knows how many times I have seen this video. Hearing Quentin Tarantino’s voice talking about movies is a pleasure. He truly loves cinema. I can listen to him talk and analyze movies all day.
I have known the meme “Damn” from Friday 1995 for years but had not watched the movie until I did a month ago. And damn the movie is so good it deserves higher rating.
So cool to see Unbreakable on the list. It is my favorite movie and people always kind of kind of turn their heads when I say that, so it is validating to hear Quentin put it in his top 20 for the time period and call it a masterpiece.
Quentin excites you about movies like nothing/nobody else can as if they're not exciting enough already! I just want to love my craft work the way Quentin loves films.
This is a good video, and very revealing of his influences behind his films such as Kill Bill and so on
Don’t think many on this list influence his work, we need his top twenty pre 1992 movies to see the films they really influenced him.
His influences were sitting alone in his mom's apartment watching 70's TV. Hence the low brow, fairly mindless list of movie favorites.
I like the fact that his list has a good blend of drama, thriller, mystery, comedy, horror, sifi and action. It's very diverse, which is a plus for a great director.
True, for anyone who wants to review or make movies, it's important to be open to many different genres, which Tarantino really seems to be.
its also not a pretentious list, no like obscure indie french films or anything like that
i think it is a bit short on comedy
@@galinageorgieva8554 it's rare to find good comedy these days.
@@galinageorgieva8554 Dazed and Confused, Friday, Team America, and Shaun of the Dead aren't enough for you?
I’ve seen like 5 of these films but the fact that those 5 films would be in my top 20 makes me wanna watch all 15 of those other movies
Thats a tremendous list !
Bong Joon-Ho is just a phenomenal director. One of the worlds best as of right now.
Very surprised he didn’t include Chungking Express in his Top 20. He loved that one so much that he bought the distribution rights.
I gotta say, out of Wong Kar Wai's movies "In the mood for love" was by far the best, "Fallen Angels" was also great. I don't get the fascination with Chungking Express though.
I actually loved that movie. I was shocked to see Quinten talking about the movie in detail after watching it. I liked that movie so much I started dating asian women Lol. Now im married to one for 10 Misérables years.
@@StarcraftSwarm stalker asian chick sneaks in and cleans your apartment? what's not to love? I wish it would of happened to me in my 20s
I was about to post the exact same comment.
I agree with Battle Royale being at number 1. It was a great movie and was a very memorable experience watching it for the first time. Great movie.
Absolute legend for including Team America!
Watched Chungking Express because of his recommendation. Man's got taste
I remember seeing a review of Speed on a show called Movies, Movies, Movies, and the look of the film was just astonishing. Back when CGI wasn’t particularly prevalent in films, and story telling and production value really counted for something.
Speed Is definetly one of the best American action films of its decade. I'd put it in the same list as Face off. Die Hard remains the best ever to me.
I remember being a 9 year kid and my friend amazed that I never heard of the matrix. Ended up watching it at his house and that movie blew my mind. Dazed and confused was another I had no idea about and it was just randomly on tv one night when I was a teenager. You know you liked a movie when you remember where you were when you first watched it.
That was back in 2009. Since then, one film came out which I think could be considered as best in terms of cinematic art for years to come, and this is Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
