And I saw them all when I was a kid, when I was 9, 10, 11. I saw "The Godfather" when it came out. I saw "The French Connection" when it came out. I literally saw "The Wild Bunch" on a double feature with "Deliverance" when I was in third grade.

A Better Tomorrow II

A restauranteur teams up with a police officer and his ex-con brother to avenge the death of a friend's daughter.
Quentin Tarantino
Director, Screenwriter
I was watching it with a buddy of mine, and it’s all building to this big climax. We hadn’t seen this movie before, so we didn’t know they were going to have the biggest shoot-out in the history of film. My friend turns to me and goes, ‘If they don’t get naked and boogie at the end of this movie, this has been for nothing.’ He was right! Doesn’t matter that we enjoyed everything leading up to the end, it had to end in like a big way or it was all nothing!

Get Out

Chris and his girlfriend Rose go upstate to visit her parents for the weekend. At first, Chris reads the family's overly accommodating behavior as nervous attempts to deal with their daughter's interracial relationship, but as the weekend progresses, a series of increasingly disturbing discoveries lead him to a truth that he never could have imagined.
Quentin Tarantino
Director, Screenwriter
It requires the right kind of movie—one that hits the right kind of nerve where it becomes a conversation. Get Out achieved that. Everyone was talking about it, and the whole metaphor of the Sunken Place was something everyone started to use. It sparked genuine conversation.

Au Revoir les Enfants

Au revoir les enfants tells a heartbreaking story of friendship and devastating loss concerning two boys living in Nazi-occupied France. At a provincial Catholic boarding school, the precocious youths enjoy true camaraderie—until a secret is revealed. Based on events from writer-director Malle’s own childhood, the film is a subtle, precisely observed tale of courage, cowardice, and tragic awakening.
Quentin Tarantino
Director, Screenwriter
On the surface the 1987 autobiographical film directed by Louis Malle might seem like an odd influence on Reservoir Dogs. As the story goes, Tarantino was working at Video Archives, a video rental store in Manhattan Beach, where he’d often recommend largely unknown films to customers. On one occasion he recommended Au Revoir Les Enfants which was mispronounced by the customer as ‘Reservoir Dogs’. The rest, as they say, is history.
