Here’s my personal Quentin Tarantino policy: the man made Pulp Fiction, so therefore he gets a free pass for life. If he wants to go on American Idol and tell 16-year-olds “I ain’t a fan of yours,” fine. He made Pulp Fiction. He also made Reservoir Dogs. He also made all of his other movies, but that’s fine by me, because he made Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs.
In the clip below, Quentin lists his top 20 movies since 1992, the year Reservoir Dogs was released. Don’t worry, I saved you six minutes if you don’t want to watch it by listing them below. You should note that Quentin says that while Battle Royale is his official #1, the other movies are listed in alphabetical order. So Anything Else, the Woody Allen movie with Jason Biggs that no one on planet Earth likes, isn’t his #2. He simply considers it one of the best 20 movies made in the last 17 years.
