Lack of City of God is a major fail on QT's part. Sigh..

[MIKEY_HORROR]

Lack of City of God is a major fail on QT's part. Sigh..

Agreed.

Although I do like most of what he selected.

Haven't seen Supercop 3, Security Area or the Woody Allen movie though.

[williek311]

Got a couple of movies to add to my netflix.

[fran.182]

Unbreakable is one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

[fake empire]

Unbreakable is one of the worst movies I've ever seen.
Unbreakable is awesome

[fran.182]

Not for me...

[alis21]

There are some good films here, but there are some way better ones that have been left off in favour of garbage like Team America.

[eraserhead]

Unbreakable wasn't that bad

[narcoleptic953]

He should have put Pulp Fiction. It wouldn't have been egotistical in the slightest, because that movie is just incredible.

[stereokiller]

The Host, MoMurder, Battle Royale, and Shaun for me.

[narcoleptic953]

Apparently I need to see Unbreakable again, because the first time I saw it, I thought it was awful.

[deFobbed14yrs]

mmmmmmBradPittInFightClubmmmmmmmmmm mm

[WordzandDreamz]

I love that there are movies like Speed and Team America on the list and people just immediately gravitate to shitting on Unbreakable.

[kbi the crowing]

I still need to see Battle Royale =/

[williek311]

There are some good films here, but there are some way better ones that have been left off in favour of garbage like Team America.
Team America is far from garbage.

[Poultrylicious]

I thought i was the only person who liked Anything Else, glad to see it so high.

[eMart]

There's some really solid films on that list. Glad to see Unbreakable on there. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who thinks that film is truly brilliant.

[narcoleptic953]

Team American is awesome.

[ClemTiger0408]

Wow, he has some terrible terrible movies on this list...

[syntax omitted]

what bout Kill Bill

[Thomas Balkcom]

I have seen 14

[Thomas Balkcom]

thanks for posting this list OP

[tommyishere]

Reservoir Dogs isnt on there? nor Pulp Fiction?

[WordzandDreamz]

thanks for posting this list OP

anytime. I really enjoyed the list.

[Thomas Balkcom]

I would be curious to see what people on this site's favorite films from 1992 would be.

[Ailite]

not a bad list except for Speed.

[marrost]

Surprisingly shitty for someone that rips of so many good movies.

[Star Slight]

I would be curious to see what people on this site's favorite films from 1992 would be.

Not the Best, but my favorite:

1. Dazed and Confused
2. Pulp Fiction
3. The Big Lebowski
4. Snatch
5. Reservoir Dogs
6. American Psycho
7. Clerks
8. KIDS
9. Wet Hot American Summer
10. There's Something About Mary

[aolsux]

M Night Sha-ma-long-a-ding-dong

haha I love Tarantino

[EvilZeppelin]

I just watched Dazed and Confused like a hour ago.

[ikikwe]

For someone that jocks so much Asian cinema (good movies, but still), it's weird not to see Oldboy in there.

[whoaisame]

Unbreakable is one of my most underated movies imo

[murrich]

Speed is awesome.

[Chemical Love]

I havent seen a lot of those.

[billyboatkid]

I've seen about half of them.

The Blade seems cool. I'm gonna look for it.

[WakingTheMisery]

Hahahaha Battle Royale is the best one on that list too. Awesome.

[Stephen Chamberlain]

Not a Tarantino fan, but it's awesome to see Audition and Dogville on any list.

[DaveFeelsRight]

dude, fucking friday.

[newfoundmichael]

Unbreakable is awesome


Yeah, that movie is pretty great.

[mrnegativezero]

mmmmmmBradPittInFightClubmmmmmmmmmm mm

I lol'd


Rather surprised Battle Royale is his number one. Great movie, but I always think it didn't get enough exposure.

[Throwback]

Unbreakable is the only good movie Shamalamadingdong ever made.

[Stephen Chamberlain]

Seven is soooo much better than Fight Club.

[steve187]

Haha I love that he put Speed and Friday on there. I love them movies.

[Stephen Chamberlain]

Oh I didn't see Joint Security Area on there. Sweet film.

[thetimmyk]

Really good list, except Unbreakable was fucking horrible

Team America may be one the greatest made movies of all time: Amazing Soundtrack, Amazing villain, Amazing action and every second of it was hilarious (to this day I've never laughed as hard as when I first saw the hand to hand combat part in Paris)

[Cheshire_Buddha]

Battle Royale deserves it's spot.

Weird to see Joint Security Area on there when Oldboy or even Lady Vengeance is no where to be seen. Happy as shit to see The Host getting props.

The Wachowski Siblings doesn't have as nice of a ring as The Wachowski Brothers.

Wa-wait. Speed? Really?

[TJ Wells]

Is that inclusion of Anything Else a joke? Arguably Woody's worst movie EVEr.

[AMackChuck]

Unbreakable is awesome

Yeah, that movie was great.

[TachyonEvan]

Only 3 of those movies would be on my list.

[JesusV2]

I was going to say that Point Break should be on before Speed but it came out in '91

[WordzandDreamz]

Really good list, except Unbreakable was fucking horrible

[thetimmyk]

Fuck actors trying to be authentic,
