Quentin Tarantino the always polarizing auteur, pop culture junkie and former video store clerk threatens to polarize cinephiles further with his list of favourite films from 1992 to the present, or the period of time he has been a filmmaker.

As expected, Tarantino's eclectic list skews towards the violent with foreign cult favourites (Battle Royale), indie hits (Boogie Nights, Lost In Translation) and Keanu Reeves fronted blockbusters (The Matrix, Speed) sitting alongside some pretty questionable mentions (Team America). As always Mr. Tarantino discusses the films with a mixture of wide-eyed hyperbole, sweeping hand gestures and frenetic ADD mannerisms.

Check out the list and video below...

Battle Royale
Anything Else
Audition
Blade
Boogie Nights
Dazed & Confused
Dogville
Fight Club
Fridays
The Host
The Insider
Joint Security Area
Lost In Translation
The Matrix
Memories of Murder
Police Story 3
Shaun of the Dead
Speed
Team America
Unbreakable

'M Knight Shamalam-a-ding-dong'

hahahahaha. I love this guy.

B, I actually think it's commendable that he didn't list a tyrade of obscure art films no one's ever heard of, just to look cool.

Nice to see some classic entertainment and none of the 'art' films.

There is quite a few of those that I like and have on DVD, so I know them well. I am surprised he put Police Story 3 in there, as other Hong Kong Action films are better.

And nice to see shaun of the dead make the list too.
