discussion Quentin Tarantino Calls ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’ His Best Movie

Quote

Quentin Tarantino has named “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” his best movie ever made. The director was asked to pick his best by Howard Stern during a visit on the radio host’s SiriusXM show. “Hollywood” is Tarantino’s most recent directorial feature. Released in 2019, the film starred Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt as actors struggling to find their place in the changing Hollywood of 1969. Margot Robbie also starred as Sharon Tate.

“For years people used to ask me stuff like that,” Tarantino said about being asked to pick his best movie. “And I would say something like, ‘Oh, they’re all my children.’ I really do think ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’ is my best movie.”

“Even though the ‘80s was the time that I probably saw more movies in my life than ever – at least as far as going out to the movies was concerned – I do feel that ‘80s cinema is, along with the ‘50s, the worst era in Hollywood history,” Tarantino recently said on his “The Video Archives Podcast” (via NME). “Matched only by now, matched only by the current era!”

Do you agree?

[vale9001]

Can be the movie he prefers. I can understand it. His best movie for us? No.

It was so boring. I had the unfortunate opportunity to watch it twice. I can't stand these types of films.

Of course he’s going to say that about the fans least favorite.

 

Kill Bill, Django, Pulp Fiction, and Inglorious Bastards.

Good for him but it's not even in my top 5 of his films  

 

[Brando]

I feel like you need to know all the ins and outs of classic Hollywood movies to understand that film. For a casual viewer it was a total bore that didn't make any sense 

[Relampago.]

This movie was so boring until the last 15 minutes  

[FunCoric]

he's 100% right

[Park Jinyoung]

And he’s right

[Kimi]

not even top 5

Once Upon a Time is a strong contender. Not surprised people on here found it boring. It seems like the people on here like fast-paced entertainment (i.g. fast-paced movies/fast "bops," if we're talking music). Nothing wrong with that; it's just something I've noticed. However, Pulp Fiction is probably my favorite QT movie. I haven't seen Reservoir Dogs, Jackie Brown, or Django Unchained, though. 

[Pierrot]

He's 100% correct.

 

Easiest way to filter someone's movie opinion is to not listen to anyone who thinks this movie is bad or one of his worst. Sorry to you all.

[XAMJ]

the movie is trash

[Stan.killah]

Has he not seen Kill Bill Vol 1 + 2? 

[Universo]

somebody lied to her several times...

[MadonnasBoyfriend]

They always say the latest is the greatest... I'd love to see the 5 hour version in the vaults 

[livelikemusic]

Not when the two volumes of Kill Bill exist.

[Gui Blackout]

It's in the top 3 for sure.

 

But I can see why it is for him. It's his most personal movie, about the era that he loves in LA and Hollywood.

[Uncatena]

its fine, the ending SLAPS but Kill Bill >>>

[truthteller]

i mean it's a love letter to old times hollywood with a wholesome twist.... what's not to love about that...

Kill Bill and Pulp Fiction >>>>> tho

[Puttanesca]

It's literally an ode to classic Hollywood. Of course he'd say that.
