” 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.
“Hollywood” grossed $374 million at the worldwide box office, an impressive final tally for an original drama. At the 2020 Oscars, the film picked up 10 nominations, including best director and best picture, and it won Pitt the Academy Award for supporting actor. That Tarantino views “Hollywood” as his best movie is all the more notable considering he views the modern movie era as being tied with the 1980s and 1950s as “the worst in Hollywood history.
Tarantino did note that “the [films] that don’t conform” are “the ones that stand out from the pack” in the current era. The director has long spoken out against the current dominance of superhero movies from Marvel and DC. Earlier this month, he told thethat he’d never direct a Marvel movie because all of their filmmakers are “hired hands.”
If Tarantino considers “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” his best movie, then it’s “Grindhouse” he considers his most misunderstood. The 2007 double-feature movie included films helmed by Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez , both of which were proceeded by mock trailers created by filmmaker friends like Eli Roth, Rob Zombie and Edgar Wright. “Grindhouse” was a notorious bomb in the U.S. with just a $25 million gross.
Correct ranking.
I agree with the second part. Could not disagree more with the first part.
his movies have been getting worse I agree w him
He's correct about this era and not just film wise either.
I think he is only talking about Hollywood movies. Personally, I think there are many good indie movies as well as foreign - for me we live in an age where there are movies for everyone ... IT'S A REAL PARADISE AGE 👍🤗🥳
I almost agree. It's his second best (best is still Pulp Fiction), and I think this is hands down the worst era for movies...far worse than the '80s.
Nah. 'Pulp Fiction' and regarding current Hollywood: 'No duh.'
Thank you Quentin! The movies today are absolute garbage.
Debatable.
Hands down his worst movie
I cringed when I heard on sternshow how some 16 year old boy at a party asked him what he thought of the Iron Man movies Imagine having his attention and that’s what you want to talk about
Well considering his film came out in this era, I’m taking it all like a grain of salt.
Tarantino creates some truly awesome scenes Then combines vignettes with varying degrees of success A process born in True Romance But even the worst of him is better than the collective nothing produced by Marvel/DC (Except for the comic outliers of: Joker Dark Knight/TDKR)
I agree
🌸I have to say-- I agree with Quentin Tarantino when he says Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is his best movie! A nostalgic movie of Hollywood in the 60's/70's? Absolutely quenched for it! Enough of tech & special effects! MORE stories based on true life & SIMPLER times-please!
Great flick
The fact that he thinks OUATIH is his best film is scary and doesn't bode well for his next film.
He's right on current film era being the worst. Also OUATIH is his least sadistic film, which signifies his evolution as a filmmaker thus making it his best work.
As he seen X? He really doesn't know what he's talking about.
Disagree. It's nowhere near his best movie.
I’d put it last behind Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, Jackie Brown, True Romance, Django Unchained, Inglorious Bastards, The Hateful Eight…I could go on..
Super hero films be like cinematic cancer
He means OUaTiH is the worst in current film era. Lol. Honestly that film is some weird shitshow.
Pulp Fiction is definitely overrated. But personally like Hateful Eight and Inglorious Bastards better.
Not sure about best but Jackie Brown is most entertaining tarantino movie.
He's right
Neither of these are incorrect!
The best film he ever made was Jackie Brown, although he's right about this era being the worst in film history, including his own recent ouvre.
He's wrong. Again. 'Once' is a shit show fairy tale saved by the acting.
No, his best movie and the only good one he's done imo is Reservoir Dogs. The others are racist, misogynistic blood fests. And Tarrantino's personality ruins everything he does.
Tarantino isn't wrong about the film era we are in. The upside is that many movie lovers can play catch up on so many past classics/overseen gems.
American movies now are definitely way worse than the 80s and probably the 50s (but tv is much better). The best Tarantino movie is Jackie Brown. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is pretty flawed imo
That wasn’t his best film but he’s trying to grift with it😂 However there are lot of great films, in theatres and streaming, whether he chooses to watch 🤷🏾♀️. What’s up with these pretentious directors and actors insulting their peers. Ruthless af
If Tarantino was ever right about anything, it's that. Green screens, CGI, recycled comic book stories from 75 years ago. We're faced with the wreckage of a system that never planned for its illumination. Thanks, internet.
He is correct
Not wrong
80s had some good films. Definitely not as good as the 70s. I think QT's nuts for thinking Hollywood's his best work. Pulp is his most important work to date. Maybe he'll surprise us with his 10th and final film.
We would say it's his most immersive film as far as period pieces go. Not many films set in an earlier era make the audience feel as though they're experiencing it in real time. OnceUponATimeinhollywood
Amen brother
80s was great- Spielberg, Stone and Cameron all made great movies. Also, great actors such Pacino, De Niro, Hoffman, Nicholson all made movies in the 80s.
Yes, he's right, and yes, he's right.
Anyone who thinks the 80s was a era for ‘good’ movies is actually on crack. The nostalgia for that decade is crazy
i agree with this guy
What the hell is he talking about
Na verdade é o pior filme dele, mas ainda é bem decente.
The 80’s as one of the worst decades for cinema? No way, man. I mean, there are a huge number of crap movies during that time, but there are so many good ones that mitigate that. My vote is for the 1940’s. Just a bunch of Hollywood musicals that are absolutely useless.
He’s wrong. He peaked with Pulp Fiction.
A. Pulp Fiction is better than Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (It was one of the best films of all time) B. The 80's were The Best movie Decade of all time with Countless classics. C. I do agree this era of Movies is The Worst, I don't even bother watching first run films anymore.
And boring!
