'I am my own favorite' is one quality that's hard to come by, but the veteran director Quentin Tarantino has it already. As the director approaches his final project (which has yet to be revealed), he discusses his favorite film from the ones he has made over the years.

During The Church of Tarantino podcast, he said that,

"‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’ is my favorite, ‘Inglourious Basterds’ is my best. But I think ‘Kill Bill’ is the ultimate Quentin movie, like nobody else could’ve made it. Every aspect about it is so particularly ripped, like with tentacles and bloody tissue, from my imagination and my id and my loves and my passion and my obsession. So I think ‘Kill Bill’ is the movie I was born to make, I think ‘Inglourious Basterds’ is my masterpiece, but ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’ is my favorite."

Tarantino is nearing the end of his directing career, as his tenth film will be the last one. It was supposed to be something called The Movie Critic, but he pulled the plug on it, thinking that nobody would want to see a film about a movie critic.


Quentin Tarantino's career in a glimpse

Although a glimpse won't be enough for the universe he has created over the years, we will take a look at all the movies he has directed so far.

Quentin Tarantino's first film was Reservoir Dogs, which was released in 1992 and became a cult classic. Empire Magazine called it the Greatest Independent Film of All Time, and the director was interested in developing a remake as its tenth film, but then cancelled the plan after giving it a quick thought.

Then came what is widely considered the director's magnum opus, Pulp Fiction (1994), whose title was inspired by pulp magazines and hardboiled fiction. John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, and Uma Thurman were praised for their roles in it.

Jackie Brown (1997) was released next, where Quentin Tarantino put Pam Grier and Robert Forster in lead roles in a major film after years. That turned out to be one wise decision, as it turned out to be a critical and commercial success.

Quentin Tarantino then made Kill Bill: Volume 1 (2004), the only movie on his roster with a sequel. Uma Thurman was in the lead here, and the films were the last time that Miramax distributed its movies.

In 2007, the director made Death Proof with Kurt Russell in the lead, who plays Stuntman Mike McKay, who is a murderer.

His next two films were a feat for Quentin Tarantino and Christoph Waltz, who played the ultra-racist Hans Landa in Inglourious Basterds (2009) and the anti-racist Dr. King Schultz in Django Unchained (2012). He won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for both roles, showing his range.

The Hateful Eight came after this in 2015, which was supposed to be Django Unchained's sequel, but the character didn't fit well into the story. Finally, Tarantino came up with Once Upon a Time in Hollywood in 2019, where he paired Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio as an actor-stuntman duo. There's also a sequel to it, but Tarantino gave the project to David Fincher. So, we still have to wait for what the director's last project will be.
