Quentin Tarantino Reveals Which of His Films Is His "Masterpiece," His "Favorite," and "The Movie I Was Born to Make"
Director Quentin Tarantino has such a distinct style, and he has been very deliberate in the films he has written and directed. Fans of his have their own favorite films, or even an order in which they’d rate the movies, and as it turns out, Tarantino himself even has his own favorite of the films he’s made.
He spoke about which movies were the most special to him and why in a recent interview on The Church of Tarantino podcast, where he explained:
“Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is my favorite, Inglourious Basterds is my best. But I think Kill Bill is the ultimate Quentin movie, like nobody else could’ve made it.
“Every aspect about it is so particularly ripped, like with tentacles and bloody tissue, from my imagination and my id and my loves and my passion and my obsession.
“So I think Kill Bill is the movie I was born to make, I think Inglourious Basterds is my masterpiece, but Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is my favorite.”
We share the same favorite! When I saw Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, it became my favorite Tarantino film, scooting the long-reigning Django Unchained into the number two spot. I feel like every Tarantino movie is so uniquely him, but it’s fun to hear that he thinks the Kill Bill films are the movies that are most personal to him.
