- Quentin Tarantino Reveals His Favourite Filmmakers of All Time in this short video. We hear about the film directors that inspired him the most in his formative years and shaped much of who he is as a filmmaker today.
Quentin Tarantino is well-known to be the biggest of all movie geeks, with a vast knowledge of film history that plays out referentially in his own productions. Naturally, certain filmmakers have influenced him more than others, and here he lists the seven that were most significant in influencing and inspiring his film-making adventures.
Quentin Tarantino reveals his greatest influences to be the filmmaking giants, Howard Hawks, Samuel Fuller, Brian De Palma, Martin Scorsese, Jean-Luc Godard and Jean-Pierre Melville.
I hope you enjoy Tarantino's Top 7 and find time to explore their filmographies yourself. - Zábava
"Quentin is the only guy I know who needs cocaine to stop talking."
-Brad Pitt
Ha, that's awesome!
quentin doesn't need cocaine, he IS cocaine
😂 his brain when talking about movies moves like an F1 car, smoke coming of his hair how fast he's talking.
@@Smokey2Mchope hes not doing cocaine at his age. After like age 45 you can easily drop dead from coke, Quentin is 60 now right?
@@vicvega3614 I just turned 45 in January thanks for the advice 😂
De Palma is simply the quintessence of being a director, he has everything: eye, brain and heart.
No brain and no talent
So does my pet salamander.
And water and earth
Whoever was the one that decided to play music over this especially this song in particular has no respect for what Tarantino is saying. Bruh this is just a interview not a scene from interstellar
Far too loud too
Thank goodness Quentin Tarantino **revealed** his influences. What a tight-lipped, enigmatic character he is-incredibly secretive when it comes to his sources of inspiration.
Heheh I guarantee the 3 likes this got were from people who took this literally 😂
Well, 4 likes now, because I liked it too but that's because I actually got the sarcasm 😂
Yes, the sarcasm was deeply-buried!
The sarcasm lmao. Quentin is a complete spazz when it comes to films. Genuine passion but he can get overboard real quick lol
@@little.bear344 I don't think there's a person on the planet who would read the OP's post and NOT detect the very obvious sarcasm.
I'm not sure you should be as smug about this matter as you have been thus far.
@@little.bear344 This must be a troll account right? There's no way you thought detecting sarcasm in this was in any way an esoteric deduction.
Quentin always looks and sounds like he’s discussing his favorite movies while slowly being submerged underwater and any second it’s gonna cover his face.
Rofl😂😂
*P A S S I O N*
Also *C O C A I N E*
How do you become a great filmmaker? Understand and admire film the way Tarantino does.
That only makes you good film critic. You need something more.
I think that I know a lot about films, then I hear Quentin speaking a out movies and I feel like noob. But damn I would like to talk with him about movies with wine or whiskey one day.
Fairly obvious why DePalma, Melville and Godard are Tarantino favorites--their movies reference other movies, just like Tarantino. He also loves Bogdanovich, another director who homages movies.
Especially DePalma.
@@kennethrussell1158 In my opinion, DePalma uses his influences as starting points, and creates from them, his own dynamic style, whereas Tarantino is just regurgitating and appropriating reference points.
He said he grew out of Godard a long time ago tough.
It's more in his earlier movies.
He has never as far as i know mentioned Bogdanovich but if you have a qoute i'm all ears.
@@NostalgiNorden He's a huge fan of They All Laughed and has praised AND knew Bogdanovich. He even (surprise) references They All Laughed in Pulp Fiction with the female taxi driver, who is a nod to Patti Hansen's character in that film.
Sergio Leone could also fit on that list. Once Upon a Time in the West references so many other westerns.
Thank you. Excellent video. I appreciated seeing this and getting lost in my love of cinema.
thanks for sharing this
I agree about Howard Hawks , he made some great movies. He is my favorite director of all time . George Stevens is another but Stevens made some really goofy movies before the war. Hawks made good movies his whole life.
By and large, I don't go for comedy (unless it's really dark), but Bringing Up Baby is magnificent.
"Because of the Spaghetti Westerns?"
nothing gets past Charlie
great video
This is gorgeous. Could anyone please tell me what the music/ instrumental in the background is? I can’t find it and it speaks to me, greatly.
Sounds like new age, atmospheric, genre
Lovve the way he loves de palma’s work! Scarface is my nr1 all time
DePalma is plain genius. I adore his films
How can you be a fan of the apprentice and not the master ( Hitchcock)
Casualties of War is one of the finest works of all time, and Michael J. Fox turned in an outstanding performance.
Taxi Driver the musical,bang bang!!
I am going to try his new movie 3 step process with something soon.
Nice
Hi Chets. Glad you enjoyed. Are you familiar with all the filmmakers QT mentions in the video? If so, who's your favourite?
@@cinedome1 i am not. I’ll be watching more films soon. But favorite is Kubrick, Nolan & PTA
What interview(s) is this from?
Does anyone know where I can find the whole interview?
Even though hawks made all those films i still feel he's underrated
"Am I a joke to you?" - Alex Cox
Kar-wai Wong was also director that influenced him a lot.
That's one of the reason I've utter respect for this man,
If he uses something from other artists / creators. He gives credit to them.
He talks about them on his interviews and podcasts. When he talks, You can just feel the passion and love for cinema in his voice
But does he have a distinct voice of his own with unique insight? I'd argue, there were definite hallmarks of his work at the start of his career but these have diluted over the years . Not enjoyed his work for a long time.
@@Grandmastergav86 alright tell me, whats the last tarantino movie that u actually liked?
Except he failed to mention that Reservoir Dogs is a total and complete rip off of Ringo Lam’s City on Fire (1987)
@@whysohappy6386 Inglorious was great. Django and Hateful Eight was trash. Like he was imitating himself... in a bad way. Totally lost my respect after that.
@@JFLOProductions i didn't know that, thanks for the information.
Wow! Couldn't believe Kubrick and Kurosawa didn't make the cut. Interesting
Yeah, I don't actually remember hearing him talk much about either of those filmmakers before. Would be interesting to get his take.
Also Elia Kazan
Kurosawa is so deeply woven into cinema that saying he influenced cinema is like saying how the British empire affected language.
I could be wrong but I would say he respects Kubrick's work a lot but find it too pretentious
He doesn’t really take much from them though
Tarantino said De Palma never made official comedies, but how about "Bonfire of the Vanities," "Wise Guys," "Get to Know Your Rabbit," "Home Movies," "Greetings," "Hi, Mom," and "The Wedding Party?"
He also drew influence from Sam Raimi.
Music is really good, name?
Hey, sorry for my very delayed response. It's Long Distance by Luke Atencio.
@@cinedome1 thanks man
Does anyone know where I can find this interview without the fucking stupid heavenly music driving me up the goddamn wall?
charlie rose interview 94
@@cinedome1 Thank you very much. Did you add the music to this? Because no offence, but that was just... awful. It's a film maker talking about film makers, not the Second Coming of Christ. Just the clip and some visuals would have been perfect.
@@ryans756 I did add the music, yeah. I like it.
@@cinedome1 Yeah I was looking down the comments. Others seem to like it too. Tsk. Well good luck to you :)
@@ryans756 Thanks man.
What's up with the somber music?
I thought Peckingpah would be on this list. Maybe he would have been number 8?
I agree with Q.T. on Hawks. I like to pair him with De Mille.
How can you leave out John Huston(Casablanca, Maltese Falcon, Treasure of the Sierra Madre, etc) and Elia Kazan( On the Waterfront, Viva Zapata,East of Eden,etc).
Casablanca was directed by Michael Curtiz. Anyway, he didn’t say they’re the best ever, but the ones who influenced him most.
Interesting how almost all of his influences came from Italian and French directors
Almost all? Italian and French directors make up less than half the list. The rest are American.
He definitely got a thing for Japanese and German cinema as well.
And music to underline regular sentences said by Tarantino xD
The background music of this video is distracting. Who needs music what is Tarantino saying is really interesting.
Pulp Fiction was based on The Getaway and the Michael Douglas D-Fens movie
MELVILLLLLE
I think the only bigger fan of Melville than Tarantino is John Woo. In the essay he wrote for the Criterion release of Le Samourai, he straight up says "Melville is God"
background audio is ieeww
True, De Palma never made any comedies. Except for Home Movies. And Greetings. And Hi, Mom. And Wise Guys. And Get to Know Your Rabbit. And The Wedding Party. And Phantom of the Paradise. And Bonfire of the Vanities. But other than that he never made any comedies.
You forgot to add a couple of condescending and patronising "all rights", like Tarantino.
@@nr655321 De Palma is one of his favourite movies, tf you talking about?
@@nr655321 I’ll do it next time, alright?
@@nr655321 That's because storing dead ducking riggers isn't my ducking business, that's why!!
@@sealife12 Huh? Where did I say that?
So what's the one Hawks movie that disappointed him? 🤔
Always hope mras
Tarantino’s greatest crime is that he made way few films. Even Scorcese made 26 films in nearly 5 decades. I wish he made way more movies.
But he's made the *same* movie several times just with different settings. He might have been more ambitious and attempted a greater variety of stories.
@@Hexon66 And perhaps try to give the characters you've created a different "voice" and not have them speak in essentially the same way
@@Hexon66 All movies are the same story. Who am I? What is free will?
Tarantino's greatest crime is that he made Max Cherry let Jackie Brown get away...
Yet Scorcese has made the same movie multiple times, his movies are a hit or miss & he hasn't made a phenomenal movie in years.
Is Walter Hill on this list?
Surprised he didn't include Peckinpah
I feel like Quentin downplays Scorsese a bit some times as far as his influences go for some reason
Haha yea
I think Quentin is butthurt about something Scorsese said about him back in the day.
@@lancehenriksen8728 what did scorsese say?
@@pjom4191 I don't remember but he was slightly dismissive and Tarantino's praise for him suddenly dried up.
Tarantino should produce a movie directed by De Palma.
he should co write it
Go watch "le samouraî" and some other Melville's movies, you wont regret i promess !
#UnintentionalASRM
Sergio Leone be number 1 for Tarantino.
I'm surprised he didn't mention Hitchcock.
He don't even like him too much
Peckinpah
Scorsese
De Palma
Hawks
Leone
He said he doesn't like Godard anymore.
But that doesn't mean he didn't influenced him.
What's the music please?
long distance by luke atencio
@@cinedome1 Thank you!
Where’s Lucio Fulci?
Keep making these videos man! What's the song name by the way?
Thanks man. The song is Long Distance by Luke Atencio.
@@cinedome1 subbed
Martin Scorsese was just a cameo in this video. 🤣
haha can't go wrong with a marty cameo mate
I think Tarantino underplays Marty's influence over him.
I saw someone saying in the comments that after Pulp Fiction, was only downhill for Tarantino. The fun thing is that history and all the studios who would give a kidney for having a Tarantino movie is telling otherwise. Sorry guys but your critics are only jealousy from persons who can not even write a comment on CZcams as interesting as a Tarantino's dialogue. The purpose of his movies is to be fun and engaging and, with the exception of Deathproof, they really are. Another thing: there's a lot of people saying that Reservoir Dogs is a rip off and he never talked about. Well, that is just fake news, on CZcams you can see him talking about that and even saying that you should watch the movie that Reservoir is inspired on.
Would disagree about Death proof, while it may be his weakest movie. That's still a really fun movie, some of the coolest action scenes. It's like a John carpenter movie with a bigger budget
@@mattetheridge8459 Death Proof is actually awesome! The whole Grindhouse experience was really
Taratino movies are the first time I began paying attention to what American characters are saying in a movie. Before that, you didn't go see any American films expecting anyone to saying anything important. You go to foriegn film for that.
Who are is influences when it comes to script writing? Quentin is the King of Dialog.
Well Howard Hawks is the king of Dialog. Watch His Girl Friday and Bringin up Baby and so many others how to get that ton of dialog out in a fantastic way AND keeping your movie under 3 and half hours. Happy Quentin knows movie history, but it's not like he bettered his idols yet.
@@palmereldritch7777 Great answer. Although, I believe he's bettered his peers.
@@FatNorthernBigot I think it really depends on which part of the movie, which elements you focus on. He certainly made a couple of great movies, on the other hand i think he made some overlong, totally overindulgent messes. For me some of that worked, but a lot didn't or didn't congeal in the right way.
Pulp fiction, jackie Brown, Reservoir Dogs i like. The style fits with the story, the acting /characters work.
Kill Bill became an overlong "hommage" valentine, same with the Grindhouse Double bill. Inglorious bastard and his Django had way too much Christopher Waltz and other pontificating characters that just held up the story. Hateful eight (which could have been a nice tight story ala Reservori dogs or more appropriate Bava's Rabid Dogs, just became an unending slosh of dialogue. And not even all of it that entertaining, actors stuck in a story that just has no rhythm. Hollywood - i get it, but the basic idea / twist.....it just doesn't go anywhere and has little value. it becomes more of Wontonton the dog that saved Hollywood and less Sunset Boulevard. There's a lot of technique, but not a whole lot of it is something i would call Tarantino. A lot of it is (overtly) borrowed from a glut of b-movie classics. Worthwhile to use , yes, but bettering the originals.....mwaaah. If i want to see women kick ass with swords and snow and 100 opponents, i'll go to the originals that were made 20 years or more earlier. On a budget.
Great soundtracks, but in the end they're pop art collages, not original scores. Didn't help that The hateful Eight had an okay morricone score (but by far not his best, because....hell there was nothing Morricone could score too. It took half an hour before the coach arrived at the shack.
The mission is NOT the greatest movie, or even Mission to mars, but boy THOSE scores are great. And original.
I would say Tarantino was influenced quite heavily by Elmore Leonard. His best film Jackie Brown was Adapted from Rum Punch by Elmore Leonard.
@@t.brogers8956 Maybe he could do a good Jim Thompson.
Tarantino names a lot of his favorite directors here, but few of them significantly influenced his film making. Tarantino films are dialogue-driven. So I would name his top influences as follows:
1. Howard Hawks
2. Billy Wilder
3. Sidney Lumet
4. Martin Scorsese
5. Woody Allen
6. Preston Sturges
7. Robert Altman
8. John Cassavetes
Tarantino's movies are highly stylized and live from the aesthetic as much as from the dialogues (it's 50/50 really) so saying that they're all in fact dialogue-driven is a bit of a miss. The Hateful 8 is probably the only fully dialogue-driven movie of his and it's also the most boring one. Make of that what you will
@@memoriavetusta3908
Both Death Proof and Jackie Brown were more boring imo
@@rockinresurrection6542 Well I kinda agree with you on Death Proof. Jackie Brown is a pretty interesting movie in the way it takes Foxy Brown and it's political call for collective action, and transports it into a neo-liberal hellhole in which there's only the individual, and consumption's all that's left. I also think that it's a lot more aesthetically pleasing than The Hateful 8.
mine is
5)wilder
4)powell and pressburger
3)lubitsch
2)wyler
1) altman
Background music ruins like 95% of videos.
1. Godard
2. Fuller
3. Leone
4. Scorsese
5. De Palma
6. Melville
7. Hawks
Ranked.
Tarantinos #1 favorite filmmaker:
Tarantino
This video would be better without the music. Totally distracting and out of place.
I don’t quite get De Palma. His movies are often interesting and look amazing, but are also deeply flawed…and, man he can be SOOOO cheesy.
Blow Out was great but the plot was ridiculous and only got worse by the last 20 minutes
Scarface is obviously a classic, but a lot of the acting was terrible…the plot was silly. Tony is ragefully jealous of his sister, and she decided to marry his best friend in secret and surprise him?! Oh and let’s both come say hi to Tony half naked after having sex. Robert Loggia in a spray tan, doing a HORRENDOUS accent as a Cuban drug lord is painfully bad.
Untouchables has an amazing score, but it looks and feels like a cheap soap opera and Patricia Clarkson’s scenes are straight out of an SNL skit, as she acts like her character is high on opioids for some reason.
I totally agree, it seems like storytelling has always been his Achiles's heel
I think the only film of his that doesn't share this flaw is Carlito's Way, which in my opinion is his best work to date
PD: A good as the The Untouchables's score is, it doesn't suit the movie at all, it makes it seem like a light-hearted movie
Most influential for me: 1) Quentin Tarantino 2) David Lynch 3) Sergio Leone 4) Stanley Kubrick 5) John McTiernan 6) Milos Forman 7) 80s Ridley Scott 8) 80s/1991 James Cameron 9) 80s Brian DePalma 10) 90s Tony Scott 11) Martin Scorsese 12) 2015 Frank Miller 13) John Carpenter (fucking genius overall) 14) Antoine Fuqua (love most of his movies with Training Day being one of my favorites of all time for some reason I can't explain). 15) Paul Verhoeven 16) John G. Avildsen 17) Coppola, 18) 90s Michael Bay - very hard to do this list.
Those are great directors, but they are all very big, famous, manly blockbuster-genre types - and I can assure you their influences are much more varied and broad than yours. You need to widen your horizons my man.
@@DaCarnival to be honest those are directors I would like to take best piece of each and do a movie. I dont think they are blockbusters type? How many blockbusters David Lynch have? Dune? Or Elephant Man? Maybe Alvin Straight is kinda "blockbuster"? I dont know. None of these movies are mainstream type of the movies to attract masses (except Dune). Milos Forman also is not like blockbuster type. On top of that I prefer their early pieces when they did not have budget. Reservoir Dogs, Eraserhead. In Kubrick movies I like mostly art design - floor patterns, interior designs, composition of the scenes etc.
Anyway, recommend me something I don't know. I am really curious what you have to say. Some obscure Italian/French directors? Fellini? Gaspar Noe? Winding Refn? (Last one I would actually put to my inspirations, I absolutely love Pusher trilogy and work with third person view camera there).
Bay😂
@@chriswright4677 his videoclip style camera with sunets, helicopters and other camera decisions from mid 90s are very inspirational
@@DaCarnival i also forgot to include Karel Zeman. Also one of them blockbuster guys you definitely know 😁
I agree with his choices but I would have thought he'd say John Carpenter or Coppola or John Ford for sure? Those three are up there for me along with Dario Argento, The Coen brothers, Peter Weir, Clint Eastwood, Stanley Kubrick, Alfred Hitchcock, David Lynch, George Miller and Spielberg (I know Spielberg is a little main stream and boring sometimes but he made Jaws and Schindlers List so enough said!).
Spielberg also made American Graffiti.
@@jackgallagher4523 You're right. All these years I thought Spielberg made it. I'm going to have to delete my comment.
He doesn't like Ford, he said a million of times he prefer Hawks over Ford any day of the week.
I don't think we realise how lucky we are to live in a time when Scorsese, Tarantino, Gary Oldman, Paul McCartney, Paul Simon, Roger Waters, Clarkson, Hammond and May, James Cameron, U2, David Attenborough, Elon Musk, the remainder of Queen - all these icons of creativity that and entertainment are alive and tangible (and many more I haven't listed bit deserve the same praise or are equally as important to others). We owe them so much and all that preceded them and all that will be.
Your comment makes no sense. It seems you just randomly picked a bunch of people you like.
Because guess what? At any given time in history, anyone could make a list of great people and say "Isn't it great they're alive and doing stuff?"
We are ALWAYS living in a time when we should be grateful of the creative, inspiring people. It's not something unique to today.
@@28Pluto Yes they could, but they don't very often. That's kind of my point! I think the fact that great people live throughout time is obvious to everyone. We often only truly appreciate that, though, after they have died.
The 2000's and afterwards will NOT be considered a Golden Age of anything. The 1980s were the last Golden of Film, Music, Dance, Art and all of it declined to shit by the late 1990s.
"Quentin Tarantino is the most overrated director around." Richard Wilson (actor/writer/director)
K, do you have an original opinion
No Ed Wood? Shame on you, Quentin, shame on you.
He hits people who are smaller than him when he disagrees with them. He is a loathsome coward who's opinions and films I would never take in on purpose.
OK, Mr. High and Mighty.
Goofy - sums himself up perfectly
Jesus saves❤️✝️
Ok, but does he recycle??
Living by his teachings, that might save. But the moment you start hating on gays and whatnot, it all falls apart because you lose all sense of what it means to be a father to a child/children, and you think he wants to throw you in a pit of fire. It's idiocy. So no, Jesus doesn't save. Living according to his example, THAT saves.
Reservoir Dogs
Pulp Fiction
Kill Bill
3 genuine movies classics
Everything else he has done is complete and utter TRASH in my opinion
I agree with you, but i would add Jackie Brown to the list.
@@fernandomaron87 naa man. Hated it
El único que me creo es Sergio Leone y sus aburridísimos spaguetti-westerns. Del resto, como mucho ha oído hablar de ellos.
Tartino had 0 original ideas
Tarantino is such a liar. All of the film makers he talks about here are white even though the people he has ripped off the most are from Hong Kong. Reservoir Dogs is the result of blatant plagiarism by being a rip off of the Hong Kong crime thriller City On Fire starring Chow Yun Fat, Danny Lee and directed by Ringo Lam. Tarantino to this day has not admitted to this theft of City On Fire.
Who hurt you?
@@ThaGhettoBlaster You're adorable.
He did. He said people should check out city on fire.
I don't give a fuck what influenced someone who made a movie like once upon a time in hollywood
Who hurt you?
@@ThaGhettoBlaster This guy is just overrated. There are so many filmmakers and directors out there that made so many incredible short films but that's it. I mean reservoir and pulp fiction are good but OK. I think you understand me
@@dexterlee569 Maybe he does, but I don't. "Short films"? What do short films have to do with anything? Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction are good? You don't say...

My top 5
James Cameron
Tony Scott
Ridley Scott
Oliver Stone
Michael Bay
Michael Bay wtf

Swap out Bay for Scorsese.
I agree. The Transformers films were masterpieces. I hope they make more.
Scarface was awful. Pacino with that awful accent and the jacuzzi scene.
“The directors who inspired Quentin Tarantino”
Ohhhh Yeah, i don’t give a fuckin’fuck!!!
Tarantino speaks so fast that he manages to fit what would take me 30minutes to convey into just under 5minutes 😂😅
