Really amazing that Oliver Stone is so minutely mentioned!!! You have to be joking. U-Turn; Platoon; Natural Born Killers, and the screenplays for Midnight Express and Scarface etc etc?

how can anyone say memories of murder is over rated. That movie is amazing, easily one of the best ones out of all those movies.

I like how he hasn’t just chosen all big budget american films. Battle Royale ftw.

Pretty sweet list. I’m glad he mentioned Dogville and JSA though disappointed he left out Oldboy and Chungking Express. Maybe he felt he had too many Asian films? I think I read somewhere he fought for Oldboy in Cannes to win first prize (don’t remember the actual name).

Here’s my list (putting the ones I agree with Tarantino first):
Battle Royale
Audition
Dogville
Fight Club
The Matrix
Oldboy
Martyrs
Chungking Express
Ginger Snaps
Dancer in the Dark
Lord of the Rings (trilogy was shot together, so I count it as one)
Pulp Fiction
Happiness
The Sweet Hereafter
Chasing Amy
Hard Boiled
Mulholland Drive
The Dark Knight
Scream
Donnie Darko

I totally overlooked Woody Allen’s “Anything Else” in Tarantino’s list until you pointed it out, El Rocho. I enjoyed it when I saw it, and I noticed that people including critics were ignoring it at the time of its release. I didn’t think it was special or much different from Allen’s usual output. I wonder what Tarantino likes so much about it.

As for “The Host,” I like it because it focuses on how a regular family deals with the threat of a monster. The family works together as a team, each using whatever talent each has. The goofiness of the family adds to the charm for me.

The Host is a terrible overrated film. Aside from the opening scenes where the monster attacks, the rest just awful. I’m very surprised by his choice of that. And Woody Allen’s film. I thought it was so sub-par for what Allen can do. The rest, I completely agree on.

Not a fan at all of Tarantino but I’m glad to Dazed and Confused on the list. Such a great nostalgia inducing film with perfect casting.

I’ve seen most of the movies on his list (even the Asian ones) and while I did enjoy them, they wouldn’t even make top 10 of their year as far as I’m concerned, let alone last 17. It’s funny that given all things, I would have definintely nominated Pulp Fiction as one of the stand-out movies of recent history.

The man makes incredibly enjoyable films but his OWN taste is really weird.
