Midnight in Paris

Last year we posted something that almost crashed our servers and caused huge ripples around the internet: Quentin Tarantino‘s list of his favorite films of 2010 (click here to read). There were some controversial choices and some omissions in the opinions of a lot of commenters, and the discussions were very active. Even earlier, during his filming of Inglourious Basterds he let us have lists of his top 20 favorite Spaghetti Westerns (click here to read) and exploitation films (click here to read), and now that the new year is upon us, we have been receiving some emails whether Q will once more come down from the mountain he is currently climbing like Moses and bestow his judgement upon last years cinematic works. He is currently out and about filming his new movie Django Unchained, with Jamie Foxx, Leo DiCaprio and a whole ensemble cast of amazing actors, to bring it to theaters before the end of the year, just in time for christmas. And you know what… here it is, Quentin Tarantino’s list of favorite movies last year, just in time for the awards season.

But hold! This time it is an official Top 11 (12 to be exact, it includes one tie), and there are some goodies attached below! This is now a full awards show ladies and gents, there are some other categories, some best director and writer awards in there as well. Santa brought a whole bag! Special Thanks to Quentin for taking some time off and compiling this list!

The Quentin Tarantino Archives is proud to present….

    The Help is OK
    Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is pretty bad, I hate hearing them speak English with Sweedish accents, go watch the original Sweedish film, it’s better.Thor, I skipped watching half way, but maybe I’ll retry

    Yeah but no one likes you

    All of our likes now are published. What I love about Tarentino publishing his likes is that, I have watched films that I wouldn’t have otherwise. “Carnage,” fantastic, and completely opposite to “Green Hornet,” which shit, I also loved. Two films both with Christophe Walz (hmmmmm) that frankly are fantastic. The point Tarentino is making is for people to wake up and realize that studio films, can be incredibly fun, which is although shrouded by pretention the point of entertainment.

    These are movies. An escape, entertainment. If my cat dies I’m not going to watch Melancholia, I’m going to watch Attack the Block. People love to hate, and I love the movies you chose, and I love the movies Big T chose. I do not love Twilight Breaking Dawn part 1. I do not love Tree of Life. But I watched the latter five times and wrote a lot about it, I enjoyed the process and challenge of watching it. My sister who is much younger wrote a bunch of fan fiction about Twilight. Who cares? They are movies, there is no competition for the viewer there is no prize. I’m just lucky to have found Tarentinos list this year.
