Tarantino has also talked effusively about John Carpenter's The Thing and it was one of the driving theatrical touchstones that led to The Hateful Eight.
He even used some of The Thing's unused score by Morricone.
It's because of Tarantino that I gave Unbreakable another shot back in 2010. I was completely blown away by all the brilliant, amazing things about that film I had previously ignored. Today, it's my favorite film of all time.
sifat shams Unbreakable is a masterpiece in my opinion. Did you enjoy Glass as well?
@@russ1422 I mostly did. The ideas and story were both great, but the film could've benefited from a slightly bigger budget.
sifat shams I did too. However, the ending made me question whether our society would believe the public reveal of superheroes in an age of CGI.
The fact that Tarantino lists 'Carrie' (1976) amongst his favourite films and has stated several times that he prefers 'Psycho II' over 'Psycho' (as I do) gave me a whole new respect for him.
Great list that reflects both Tarantino's taste and your own. I'll never forget when Pulp Fiction came out and he said his favorite movie from the previous year was Groundhog Day. Can't wait for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood!
I was a senior in high school when Pulp Fiction came out. It was like a pop culture hand grenade.
@@geekinwithJamesHancock Same here, for when I saw it and how it affected me.
Other than Alien, Carrie is favorite horror film of the 70’s. On a related note, there was a Brian De Palma documentary a couple years back which integrates a lot of the creative energy between him and colleagues (Scorcese, Spielberg, Lucas and so many others) in the 60’s and 70’s.
I love that doc on De Palma. I saw it at the New York Film Festival where he made an appearance for a little Q&A at the end.
Carrie is art. Even just the feel and look of it to me seems almost like a painting. And the whole thing has a dreamlike quality like it exists in a different universe (regardless of the actual dream sequence).
Mr Hancock your are the greatest...please keep them coming THANKS!
Thanks, Mike! I'm definitely planning on cooking up a bunch more lists in the near future.
YES, the essay format suits this channel.
Ty sir! More rants of a similar nature to come in the near future.
Dude, I'm really impressed with your delivery, commentary, and overall knowledge. Keep up the good work!
Several on that list are among my favorites. A couple of others Tarantino has mentioned that are among my favorites as are worth searching out are:
Lady Snowblood
Thriller: A Cruel Picture
Oh hell yeah. Both of those are pure dynamite.
My estimation of Tarantino, which was already high, just went up even more because he like The Bad News Bears.
One of those movies that makes me scream with laughter each time I see it.
Great list James thanks for sharing.
Unfortunately when I hear the name Peter Bogdanovich I can only think of him in his recurring role as Dr. Melfi’s own shrink in The Sopranos LOL. My fave of his is Paper Moon but he had a few gems.
I loved his recurring role in The Sopranos. Paper Moon is an extraordinary film.
Geekin' with James Hancock do glad you agree and it was sort of a shame he stopped directing while he was still young enough to do so
Awesome recomendation, James!
Can't wait, sadly until 15th august here in Spain. :(
But with this superb list of films the wait will be much better. ;)
Long live the new flesh!
Hearing you say, "Long live the new flesh" has given me the itch to do a video on Cronenberg.
Great list. Very well done video. Excited to see your Scorsese one
Thanks, Jacob! Scorsese's list is definitely more old school but should be fun to do.
Just watched that Pretty Maids movie…brilliantly entertaining. Unbreakable has always been a massive favourite of mine and Tarantino really captures the essence of why it’s so good.
certainly some my favourite films - great rundown great content - nice one dude
Thanks, Michael! I'm definitely going to be cranking out more videos like this in the future.
Wow, that split screen sequence from Carrie never ceases to amaze
Yeah it was really brilliant. DePalma and his cinematographer were true artists. The scene isn’t even that violent by today’s standard but it still manages to be just as (if not more) intense and effective as anything we see today. And Sissy Spacek descending from the stage as the gym burns around her is a truly iconic image.
Here's my all time Top 10 List for anyone interested:
1. Pulp Fiction
2. Ghost Story
3. Roman Holiday
4. 12 Angry Men
5. Airplane!
6. Singin' in the Rain
7. Call Me By Your Name
8. Whiplash
9. The Big Lebowski
10. Death Proof
Good list, but you need to watch more foreign cinema. Just my take.
1. 8 1/2
2. 2001
3. Citizen Kane
4. Vertigo
5. The mirror
Thunderbolt and Lightfoot
The Taking of Pelham 123
The Mechanic
It took 'Inglorious Basterds' to unseat 'Braveheart' as my #1 ALL-time favorite film. 'Pulp Fiction' and 'Jackie Brown' fall into the to my top 25.
A Tarantino movie release is an event that needs to be seen in theaters - everything else is a decision to wait for DVD or digital release.
I saw Inglourious Basterds several times in the theater. Just revisited it recently with my 17-year-old brother and was delighted to see how well it plays with the next generation of movie freaks.
@@geekinwithJamesHancock The opening scene of Christoph Waltz vs. the French dairy farmer is one of the most intense, well-acted exchanges EVER in film.
Basterds is my favorite movie of all time also. But I have to say the opening scene to me was kind of over rated. It was good don't get me wrong but it wasn't all that.
Coffy is awesome movie.Pam Grier is a good actress that you can't go wrong with.
Danny Peary with his "Cult Movies" series of books was the one who eased me into the strange & wonderful (next to the emergence of video rental stores).
Quentin Tarantino should write some stuff about his favorite films (after he is done). I just bought two books by Paul Verhoeven (after he was kinda done; before "Elle (2016)") commenting on a whole bunch of classic films (unfortunately the books are only available in Dutch). Its always interesting to read the take of a classic director on the films of other great directors (Verhoeven's Tarantino pick is True Romance, btw).
Without any doubt, Quentin Tarantino is a great director and I'm genuinely looking forward to the first experience of a new QT film.
Massive fan of Danny Peary. I have a few of books on my Kindle and for a while they were my favorite reading to do while on the subway. Huge fan of Verhoeven as well. Elle absolutely blew my mind.
@@geekinwithJamesHancock I knew about your feelings about Paul & Elle, but I didn't know that you've read Peary.
I first read the books from the public library. But some of the books had (apparently) some erotic photographs in them. So some pages & reviews went missing.
A decade ago, I suddenly felt the urge to own that trilogy of importance. I went on the internet and did what needed to be done. Oddly enough, I got one volume from New York and another from a small village in my ethnic home province Frisia. When I look at those 3 volumes in my bookcase, I feel so much better.
Love what you are doing, James. Keep on.
Great list. Starting my movie list for winter
Not a fan of Tarantino's work but I admire his "not giving a Fuck attitude. I hope you'll make similar videos for Other Directors.
Most definitely. I had a lot of fun with this list and plan to do a lot more.
Great video James - seems I have a few movies I need to check out!
Reallly love your channel..~ greetz from germany*!
Thanks, Anna! Greetz from the USA!
Thank you for making this video!
The thanks goes to you for checking it out!
No mention of Kelly's Heroes?
LMAO...'there you go with them negative waves!'...
Tarantino is the best ❤️❤️
Massive fan. He exploded onto the scene when I was in high school and I've been following his career ever since.
He's good but Scorsese better
Absolutely no talent with cameras... just ask his wife
Not nearly the best. He's good though.
@@Thespeedrap Far better.
Random Top 10
Youth Without Youth
The Fountain
The Matrix
Momento
Reservoir Dogs
Clerks
Panic Room
Enter the Dragon
Nightmare on Elm Street
Seven Samurai
Funnily enough, Tarantino thinks Enter The Dragon is very weak, he thinks Fist Of Fury is a lot better.
I watched Rolling Thunder after reading Cinema Speculation (I'd never even heard of it). Wow. Terrific film. Gonna check out Joe tonight.
Personal Favorite Top 10: Back To The Future; Jaws; Rear Window; Star Wars; Raiders Of The Lost Ark; Young Frankenstein; Aliens; Empire Strikes Back; A Christmas Story; Grease.
I wish you would make videos of your top 10 in each genre or at least your top 10 overall.
Thanks, Hunter! My plan is to a whole series of Top 10 lists on a variety of unusual categories.
Great list.
Thanks, Dave!
Da Palma and Scorsese are the best influential filmmakers.So Tarantino more of a follower than trendsetter maybe if he doesn't retire he'll be great one as well.
are you foreal?
@@AfroReporter Are a fan if He's so great why is he retiring from making films for.
I saw Rolling Thunder when I was about 10 . I thought it was pretty awesome. But for 30 years now I think of it every time I used the garage disposal ✋🏻.😎
James, you should check out Joe Frank.
Should I start with the documentary about him?
@@geekinwithJamesHancock I wouldn't watch the documentary. I think you should find him like the rest of us did-a random voice coming out a radio in the dark night. Part of what was amazing about Joe Frank was you would just hear it and think "What the hell am I listening too? Is this real?".
He is on Sunday evenings at 11pm on 820 am in New York. His early shows are from New York and his later shows are from Santa Monica (this is where Tarantino found him). Tarantino loves Joe Frank's work. Many of those movies have a similar style with odd humor and storytelling.
awesome man
I politely and respectively disagree with your statement at 6:35, that The Bad News Bears wasn't at all controversial. I was a kid at that time and I remember a LOT of controversy about this "dirty movie aimed at kids." I can remember a lot of discussion amoungst the adults around me about how they wouldn't let their kids see this movie.
I was 8 the year it came out, and remember my mom worrying that the swearing might be a bad influence on me and my brother.
Hey bro ...I want to make you a video in different parts...as top 20 movies of every decade since 1940 to 2020.... According to decade like 1940-1949.....1950-59......1960-69....1970-79....1980-89.....1990-99.....2000-2010.....2010-2020.... And tell us which movie decade is best according to welfare of cinema 9 or your personal favourite movie decade
made the right call going coffy>switchblade sisters... switchblade sisters is pretty weak even for a delinquent girls movie... i mean reiko ike > all in that genre [if you dont know the name check out sex and fury, youll see the kill bill inspiration straight up way more so than lady snowblood]
Just looked up some scenes. Looks sensational! Thanks for putting it on my radar.
@@geekinwithJamesHancock mateeeee enjoy... reiko is queen of the japanese grindhouse(aka pinky violence)... the house of blue leaves fight from KB vol.1 is almost straight up lifted from there... the middle has got a bit of sex gibberish including a guy getting ninja scroll, poison vaged that you can prob FF over... but that movies an insane ride like a live action 80s anime or something... go in looking for a fun time not a serious one
reikos got a bit of work though if youre a fan of 70s grindhouse def get stuck into it... anyway peace out man, once again enjoy
nice
Many thanks for watching, Adrian!
@@geekinwithJamesHancock You are welcome. You are a true cinephile. I have a question, do you consider the 1980 film Cruising a horror/Slasher film?
Sad that battle royale wasnt mentioned
Great!
I been wanting to see rolling thunder
I dont know how your brain works but wouldn't you say any great directer is most probably a cinefile. like that's why they do it for because they love movies. i dont think any director that slaves over a project for years of there life says they do it just for the money like get the hell out of here
That’s not what dude said at all. Which makes me think you don’t even understand half of what you see.
@@marsoblivi0n945 wtf you talking about loser.
Tarantino is not a sound guide for judging anything touching upon the fine arts. As he has told us so many times, his primary concern is with the depiction of gratuitous violence on the screen. He is a master of displaying cruel and perverse acts, no doubt, but so is a sadist.
Tarantino most favourite movie is the japanese movie Battle Royale.
I thought The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly was. Battle Royale is his favourite movie released after he became a director
@@edgeworth097 I guess ur right he might even had several favourites by now.
Recently I watched "Battle royal"🔥🔥🔥🔥, It touched my ❤️ heart, One of the Best movie
The content of this video is interesting, but the tone of your voice is quite unpleasant. If I'm the only one telling you this, than I'm surely an idiot, if not I may suggest you to try to speak slowly. I didn't feel someone was speaking to me, I felt like someone was shooting me with words... ;-)
Why are u in such hurry
He didn't want his potatoes to boil over.
Your choices are very predictable. Why not choose lesser-known films?
Absolutely no talent with cameras... just ask his wife
My top ten favorite movies in alphabetical order
are:
Braveheart
Bringing Up Baby
Dolores Claiborne
Forrest Gump
Innerspace
Magnolia
Maltese Falcon
Psycho
Purple Rose of Cairo
Singin in the Rain
Braveheart is overrated
Dolores Claiborne is GREAT
@@arthurbishop3173 Braveheart is my favorite action movie.
@michaelbledstein7515 Braveheart is laughable, ahistorical rubbish.
I love tarantino,now i know why all you idiots think that movie is the best western,because he says it is.once upon a time in the west blows that film away.also rio bravo is good but decidedly over rated.i prefer el dorado
I'm happy to indulge in name calling as well.
