Tarantino has also talked effusively about John Carpenter's The Thing and it was one of the driving theatrical touchstones that led to The Hateful Eight.
Here's my all time Top 10 List for anyone interested: 1. Pulp Fiction 2. Ghost Story 3. Roman Holiday 4. 12 Angry Men 5. Airplane! 6. Singin' in the Rain 7. Call Me By Your Name 8. Whiplash 9. The Big Lebowski 10. Death Proof
The fact that Tarantino lists 'Carrie' (1976) amongst his favourite films and has stated several times that he prefers 'Psycho II' over 'Psycho' (as I do) gave me a whole new respect for him.
It's because of Tarantino that I gave Unbreakable another shot back in 2010. I was completely blown away by all the brilliant, amazing things about that film I had previously ignored. Today, it's my favorite film of all time.
Other than Alien, Carrie is favorite horror film of the 70’s. On a related note, there was a Brian De Palma documentary a couple years back which integrates a lot of the creative energy between him and colleagues (Scorcese, Spielberg, Lucas and so many others) in the 60’s and 70’s.
Carrie is art. Even just the feel and look of it to me seems almost like a painting. And the whole thing has a dreamlike quality like it exists in a different universe (regardless of the actual dream sequence).
Awesome recomendation, James! Can't wait, sadly until 15th august here in Spain. :( But with this superb list of films the wait will be much better. ;) Long live the new flesh!
Several on that list are among my favorites. A couple of others Tarantino has mentioned that are among my favorites as are worth searching out are: Lady Snowblood Thriller: A Cruel Picture
Great list that reflects both Tarantino's taste and your own. I'll never forget when Pulp Fiction came out and he said his favorite movie from the previous year was Groundhog Day. Can't wait for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood!
Just watched that Pretty Maids movie…brilliantly entertaining. Unbreakable has always been a massive favourite of mine and Tarantino really captures the essence of why it’s so good.
Great list James thanks for sharing. Unfortunately when I hear the name Peter Bogdanovich I can only think of him in his recurring role as Dr. Melfi’s own shrink in The Sopranos LOL. My fave of his is Paper Moon but he had a few gems.
It took 'Inglorious Basterds' to unseat 'Braveheart' as my #1 ALL-time favorite film. 'Pulp Fiction' and 'Jackie Brown' fall into the to my top 25. A Tarantino movie release is an event that needs to be seen in theaters - everything else is a decision to wait for DVD or digital release.
I saw Inglourious Basterds several times in the theater. Just revisited it recently with my 17-year-old brother and was delighted to see how well it plays with the next generation of movie freaks.
@@geekinwithJamesHancock The opening scene of Christoph Waltz vs. the French dairy farmer is one of the most intense, well-acted exchanges EVER in film.
Basterds is my favorite movie of all time also. But I have to say the opening scene to me was kind of over rated. It was good don't get me wrong but it wasn't all that.
Danny Peary with his "Cult Movies" series of books was the one who eased me into the strange & wonderful (next to the emergence of video rental stores). Quentin Tarantino should write some stuff about his favorite films (after he is done). I just bought two books by Paul Verhoeven (after he was kinda done; before "Elle (2016)") commenting on a whole bunch of classic films (unfortunately the books are only available in Dutch). Its always interesting to read the take of a classic director on the films of other great directors (Verhoeven's Tarantino pick is True Romance, btw). Without any doubt, Quentin Tarantino is a great director and I'm genuinely looking forward to the first experience of a new QT film.
Massive fan of Danny Peary. I have a few of books on my Kindle and for a while they were my favorite reading to do while on the subway. Huge fan of Verhoeven as well. Elle absolutely blew my mind.
@@geekinwithJamesHancock I knew about your feelings about Paul & Elle, but I didn't know that you've read Peary. I first read the books from the public library. But some of the books had (apparently) some erotic photographs in them. So some pages & reviews went missing. A decade ago, I suddenly felt the urge to own that trilogy of importance. I went on the internet and did what needed to be done. Oddly enough, I got one volume from New York and another from a small village in my ethnic home province Frisia. When I look at those 3 volumes in my bookcase, I feel so much better. Love what you are doing, James. Keep on.
Yeah it was really brilliant. DePalma and his cinematographer were true artists. The scene isn’t even that violent by today’s standard but it still manages to be just as (if not more) intense and effective as anything we see today. And Sissy Spacek descending from the stage as the gym burns around her is a truly iconic image.
Personal Favorite Top 10: Back To The Future; Jaws; Rear Window; Star Wars; Raiders Of The Lost Ark; Young Frankenstein; Aliens; Empire Strikes Back; A Christmas Story; Grease.
Random Top 10 Youth Without Youth The Fountain The Matrix Momento Reservoir Dogs Clerks Panic Room Enter the Dragon Nightmare on Elm Street Seven Samurai
I saw Rolling Thunder when I was about 10 . I thought it was pretty awesome. But for 30 years now I think of it every time I used the garage disposal ✋🏻.😎
Da Palma and Scorsese are the best influential filmmakers.So Tarantino more of a follower than trendsetter maybe if he doesn't retire he'll be great one as well.
@@geekinwithJamesHancock I wouldn't watch the documentary. I think you should find him like the rest of us did-a random voice coming out a radio in the dark night. Part of what was amazing about Joe Frank was you would just hear it and think "What the hell am I listening too? Is this real?". He is on Sunday evenings at 11pm on 820 am in New York. His early shows are from New York and his later shows are from Santa Monica (this is where Tarantino found him). Tarantino loves Joe Frank's work. Many of those movies have a similar style with odd humor and storytelling.
Hey bro ...I want to make you a video in different parts...as top 20 movies of every decade since 1940 to 2020.... According to decade like 1940-1949.....1950-59......1960-69....1970-79....1980-89.....1990-99.....2000-2010.....2010-2020.... And tell us which movie decade is best according to welfare of cinema 9 or your personal favourite movie decade
I politely and respectively disagree with your statement at 6:35, that The Bad News Bears wasn't at all controversial. I was a kid at that time and I remember a LOT of controversy about this "dirty movie aimed at kids." I can remember a lot of discussion amoungst the adults around me about how they wouldn't let their kids see this movie.
made the right call going coffy>switchblade sisters... switchblade sisters is pretty weak even for a delinquent girls movie... i mean reiko ike > all in that genre [if you dont know the name check out sex and fury, youll see the kill bill inspiration straight up way more so than lady snowblood]
@@geekinwithJamesHancock mateeeee enjoy... reiko is queen of the japanese grindhouse(aka pinky violence)... the house of blue leaves fight from KB vol.1 is almost straight up lifted from there... the middle has got a bit of sex gibberish including a guy getting ninja scroll, poison vaged that you can prob FF over... but that movies an insane ride like a live action 80s anime or something... go in looking for a fun time not a serious one reikos got a bit of work though if youre a fan of 70s grindhouse def get stuck into it... anyway peace out man, once again enjoy
I dont know how your brain works but wouldn't you say any great directer is most probably a cinefile. like that's why they do it for because they love movies. i dont think any director that slaves over a project for years of there life says they do it just for the money like get the hell out of here
The content of this video is interesting, but the tone of your voice is quite unpleasant. If I'm the only one telling you this, than I'm surely an idiot, if not I may suggest you to try to speak slowly. I didn't feel someone was speaking to me, I felt like someone was shooting me with words... ;-)
My top ten favorite movies in alphabetical order are: Braveheart Bringing Up Baby Dolores Claiborne Forrest Gump Innerspace Magnolia Maltese Falcon Psycho Purple Rose of Cairo Singin in the Rain
I love tarantino,now i know why all you idiots think that movie is the best western,because he says it is.once upon a time in the west blows that film away.also rio bravo is good but decidedly over rated.i prefer el dorado
