Brad,

While Battle Royale is truly a great film, you should replace it with JSA at the top of your queue. I feel that it is one of Park Chan-wook's best films and find it to be as strong as, if not better, than Oldboy.

@Sound Designer Dan: Strangely, I think I may have it around my place somewhere. I am pretty sure they sent me a copy a long time ago. Gonna have to dig in and see if I still have it.

Idk if anyone cares, but this intrigued me too do my own, so here it is:
1. Boogie Nights
2. Chungking Express
3. Pulp Fiction
4. Eyes Wide Shut
5. The Departed
6. Mulholland Drive
7. There Will be Blood
8. Yi Yi
9. The Pianist
10. Crumb
11. Breaking The Waves
12. Adaptation
13. The Thin Red Line
14. City Of God
15. Trainspotting
16. Schindler's List
17. Ed Wood
18. Rushmore
19. Letters From Iwo Jima
20. Cache

Just Missed: Lost in Translation, Magnolia, Casino, Fight Club, Short Cuts, Naked, & 25th Hour

Here's my top 20 of the best films since 1992 in alphabetical order:

A Bittersweet Life (2004)
Boogie Nights (1997)
Citizen X (1995)
City of God (2002)
Gattaca (1997)
Heat (1995)
Infernal Affairs (2002)
Joint Security Area (2000)
Léon (1994)

Requiem for a Dream (2000)
Seven (1995)
Sideways (2004)
The Shawshank Redemption (1994)

@Zack Solomon: I forgot Requiem for a Dream, Before Sunrise, & In The Mood For Love

I don't understand why quentin doesn't have chungking express on their, or any wong-kar wai film at all. He distributed Chungking express in the U.S.A. and I know he loves it. If your a filmmaker or interested in auteurs you have too give Wong-Kar Wai credit as one of the best filmmakers of the last 20 years and either Chungking or In The Mood For Love could be on his.

@Zack Solomon: Ha, the fact you came back and wanted to add three more is exactly what I was talking about. It is damn near impossible to create these lists.

@Zack Solomon:
I like how QT didn't add a bunch of his 'brought to North America by Tarantino' titles (the likes of Iron Monkey, the Nightwatch trilogy or 2/3rds-ogy). It's refreshing when someone offers an opinion without hawking their own stuff. Just because he could by a producer credit doesn't necessarily mean he actually likes it.

And just to add in a thoughts about movies that would undoubted make people's lists. Seven is better than Fight Club; There Will Be Blood should've won the Oscar over No Continuity, err, Country; hopefully everyone that enjoys watching Requiem will live long enough to realize it's just not that good; and (if you're offended by my lack of love for Dream, you can use this to discredit my opinions) I love the subway sequence in Speed! "I'm gonna rip your [funny] spine out. I swear to god." And then he does, awesome.

@GregM: You know, I love Requiem For A dream, but I could see how it's off-putting, and I don't mean in a way that is too dark or anything like that, because I wouldn't want too insult your intelligence/taste or anyone else's either. It is completely a film by a young filmmaker, which I like sometimes and sometimes I don't, and tonally it's very odd because it doesn't encapsulate life or a story around drugs like Trainspotting, Scarface, Drugstore Cowboy, Sid & Nancy, & other great drug films, but instead it encapsulates drugs around destruction. What I mean is that the film is completely about the drug on the character and not the character on drugs. It's interesting because in all of the drug films I mentioned before a character O.D. or things go bad when he gets clean, you know real life horrible things. But Requiem has the worst case scenario for every character which doesn't mean dying, but it means having to live after being completely destroyed by drugs addiction.

Also when I think of the film and Aronofsky I see this strange, but awesome combination of Gilliam, Scorsese, and Fincher at the same time seeming like an original with a camera. You know when you see most of directors use a camera now it just looks like other films someone else did, but never with Aronofsky have I felt that. so that's why I like requiem and Aronofsky.

Brad, you should see Dogville as soon as possible. It's one of the best films ever made.

Wow, I'm impressed he mentioned Anything Else. It's a great film, very funny and very deep.

Regarding when the interview was made ("Made two or three years ago" remark above): – Tarantino says 1992 and "seventeen years ago", which places the interview here in 2009

@Sound Designer Dan: Agree with Dan but I would say that The Chaser is, in this regards, one of the strongest Korean movies I have seen (tough stuff).

Was there really no Coen brothers movie on this list? Interesting…

@Adriano: I agree. From the first shot, Dogville shows itself to be a great film and proves that until the last.

By year:
Age of Innocence
Heavenly Creatures
Pulp Fiction
Twelve Monkeys
Evita (sorry)
Donnie Brasco
Before Night Falls
LIE
Y Tu Mama Tambien
City of God
Cold Mountain
Dogville
Darwin's Nightmare
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Kill Bill II
Brick
Little Children
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
In Bruges
Hurt Locker

Bruce Willis's best performance is "Unbreakable?" Yes, it was a great performance, and yes I did really like the movie, but 1) His performance in "The Sixth Sense" is actually better, and 2) If you want his best performance ever, Quentin Tarantino needs to look no further than his own "Pulp Fiction."

If anyone else is having trouble finding #4 It's officially by "Hark Tsui" and is released in the US as "DAO" and is often hard to find under the name "BLADE" due to the typography used (much like david fincher's "SEVEN" is often found only as "SE7EN")

@Zack Solomon: Well put. Just because I don't 'get' Requiem doesn't mean I should put down those who do. Perhaps one day I'll revisit Requiem and find something in it I was previously unable to appreciate.
