Quentin Tarantino Picks His Top Eight Films Of 2009

quentin_tarantinoWhether you like him or not, Quentin Tarantino has become known for his unique, and often controversial, style and so it is an interesting opportunity to get a glimpse into the films that have made an impact (and possibly inspired) Tarantino in 2009. Why only eight? Well, he has a few more films he wants to see before he completes his list (including “Avatar”, “The Lovely Bones” and “Invictus”). Fair enough.

Tarantino’s Top 8 Films Of 2009:

  1. Star Trek
  2. Drag Me To Hell
  3. Funny People
  4. Up In The Air
  5. Chocolate
  6. Observe and Report
  7. Precious
  8. An Education

Admittedly, there’s a few odd choices. Not only are several of the movies on the list far less blood-thirsty than his own movies, but he’s also failed to include his own 2009 film “Inglourious Basterds” on the list. We like to think he’s just being modest.
