Quentin Tarantino is a name you’d probably see at least once on literally anyone’s list of the 20 best films of the 21st century, but which non-Tarantino films does Tarantino think are the best to come along in the past 25 years? The Kill Bill filmmaker has been running down his top 20 picks over on the Bret Easton Ellis Podcast, and the full list is now available!
Six horror movies made the cut for Quentin Tarantino’s own personal list of the Top 20 Best Films of the 21st Century, including films from Edgar Wright, Eli Roth, and Rob Zombie.
It’s interesting to note that all three filmmakers made faux trailers for the Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez collaboration Grindhouse, and all three were likely selected by the duo because they were such big fans of the movies that have now made it onto Tarantino’s list.
