Quentin Tarantino Reveals His Top 10 Films of the 21st Century, Topped by Black Hawk Down

"a movie you probably never heard of... People getting fucked up in the most spectacular of ways..."

"I feel there's a real mastery to it, and I came around to it watching it again and again and again"

"I hadn't seen such a girlie movie in a very long time, and I hadn't seen such a girlie movie like that be so well done"

"the only movie that actually goes completely for an Apocalypse Now sense of purpose and visual effect and feeling."

Quentin Tarantino assembled a list of the 20 greatest movies of the 21st century, enforcing a one-film-per-director rule. He placed Ridley Scott's Black Hawk Down at number one and praised its Apocalypse Now sense of purpose, visual effect, and feeling. The 11–20 selections included more world cinema such as Battle Royale and Chocolate. The top 10 favored established Western filmmakers and included Midnight in Paris, Shaun of the Dead, Mad Max: Fury Road, Unstoppable, and There Will Be Blood. Dunkirk ranked fourth, Lost in Translation third, Toy Story 3 second, and Zodiac at six.
