Please use the preferred capitalization in your title:

Quentin Tarantino's Favorite Movies

Perhaps you should also indicate the source of the list. I believe it's from the 2012 Sight & Sound poll.

Hi, welcome to the poll board!
You can make a back link in your list using this:
[link=......]Discuss the poll here[/link]
At the ...... you must write the link to this thread.
For your consideration: Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (1965)
You don’t have to add the title as a note. The title will be visible.
Do you find his favorites somewhere? Maybe then you can write how you came to this list.

Goddangwatir,

Please add Dunkirk (2017) too. Tarantino seems to love it and called it a masterpiece.

If not limited to one list, there may be other films that could be added.

My vote would go to Carrie, mostly because of the love I have for this movie, but it is a great movie.
Although Apocalypse Now is a Masterpiece

'Very good poll but I'd suggest a better source. The page that the first source link goes to doesn't seem to be at all reliable or even mention straightforwardly that those are Tarantino's favorite films. That said, it seems this list is pretty accurate but I'd suggest citing a more reliable source:

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/sight-and-sound-directors-lists_n_1738741
https://www.tarantino.info/2012/08/quentin-tarantinos-all-time-top-12-favorite-movies/
(both cite Sight & Sound, which is quite reliable)


There's another longer list from a source that I think is fairly reliable but not as reliable as Sight & Sound and the Huffington Post, I don't think:
https://www.indiewire.com/gallery/quentin-tarantino-favorite-movies/

Lastly, I wouldn't include 'Dunkirk,' unless you find a reliable source that it's among his favorites. On YouTube, he asserts that he thinks it's a "rewatchable" but I didn't see him say it's a favorite. Perhaps the confusion comes from the fact that he mentions it being in his top 10 of the decade (2010s).
