Top 20

I posted this video here last week, but I thought I would post it again, with the list of movies Tarantino talks about qucickly with a few links to movies that aren't as well known. What is in this video is one of the best examples of what it looks like to think about films. Tarantino is a poster-boy for what a film lover talks like, thinks like...they may not be the kind of movies all people agree with. Tarantino gives a good example of what it looks like to be engaged in film appreciation. He is a classic film lover. In this video he took me back to film class. To a time when also...people loved movies. They didn't use movies as means to express their own " taste"...they talked about movies with love. And this talking about movies with love is something sadly missing from film discussions today. Even crappy movies can tell us about the human condition...and offer insight into the storytelling tradition. In fact, it is often b-movie cult films that distill our cultures and provide an opening for dialogue about who we are more than many more "serious art films".
