Quentin Tarantino has finally proclaimed which of his films is his favorite. The director made the disclosure on Howard Stern’s show.
Quentin Tarantino has given birth to several iconic films over his decades-long career. Yet what does the Academy Award-winning screenwriter-director think is his favorite work so far? In a recent interview, the filmmaker put these speculations to rest, saying that the 2019 film Once Upon a Time In Hollywood is his favorite and he loves it immensely.
The director recently made an appearance on The Howard Stern show on SiriusXM, where he was asked to pick a favorite from his filmography, which comprises brilliant movies like Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, Inglorious Basterds, Django Unchained, and The Hateful Eight. “For years, people used to question me and stuff like that. And I would say something like, ‘Oh, they’re all my own children.’ [But] I really think Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is my most pleasing movie.” he said.
Once Upon A Time In Hollywood is a story based in 1969, and focused on a broken-down Hollywood star called Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his stunt double Cliff Booth (played by Brad Pitt). An identical story of Margot Robbie as Sharon Tate also followed in the storyline. The film was nominated for ten Academy Awards and ended up winning two.
In an interview with Deadline, Quentin Tarantino had earlier chosen to speak openly about the film’s ending, saying, “I came up with that ending quite a few years ago. I had been working on this writing, little by little, in one way or another, for about seven years. And I came up with the hypothesis for that last shot about five years ago. When I did, truthfully, it blew me away. It was the thing that made itself strong that I was going to do this one of these days because I had to film that.”
Quentin Tarantino is nowadays promoting his new cluster of film essays Cinema Speculation.
