Top 10 Movies for Quentin Tarantino Fans

Technically not a Tarantino film, but he did write the script. A nerdy comic book store clerk and a call girl go on the run with a suitcase full of cocaine. It has the same violent charm as Tarantino's best work, including tough dialogue and an iconic scene with Christopher Walken and Dennis Hopper. If you loved Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs, you need to see this.

Based on a Tarantino story, but heavily rewritten by Oliver Stone. It follows a murderous couple who leave a trail of bodies behind them. The film is visually unhinged, with hallucinatory scenes, brutal violence and plenty of social criticism. Tarantino distanced himself from the final film, but you feel his influence everywhere.

Two Irish brothers decide to wipe out Boston's underworld, pursued by an eccentric FBI agent (Willem Dafoe). The film is over-the-top violent, full of black humor and wild monologues, a combination Tarantino fans will definitely appreciate.

Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino have been close friends and collaborators for decades. With a budget of about 7,000 dollars, Rodriguez made a tough, stylish action film about a musician mistaken for a hitman. It later led to Desperado (1995), with Antonio Banderas taking over the lead role and Tarantino himself in a cameo.

Tarantino is a huge fan of Asian cinema and championed Oldboy as jury president at Cannes, where it won the Grand Prix. A man is locked up for 15 years without explanation and then suddenly released. What follows is a merciless revenge mission, including one of the best fight scenes ever: a man with a hammer against an entire hallway of enemies.

Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe form an unlikely detective duo in this hilarious neo-noir by Shane Black. It's packed with fast dialogue, absurd situations and dry humor, in a style reminiscent of Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown. If you appreciate Tarantino's mix of violence and humor, it's a must.

A small-time thief (Robert Downey Jr.) stumbles into an audition for a movie role and ends up in a real murder case. A neo-noir full of fast, sarcastic dialogue, with the same meta-humor and self-aware style Tarantino often uses. Plus: Val Kilmer as 'Gay Perry', a private eye who snaps at everyone.

Tarantino is known for his love of crime films, and City of God is one of the most brutal ever. It follows a group of young people growing up among drug gangs in Rio de Janeiro. Fast, colorful and violent, its non-linear storytelling recalls Pulp Fiction. Not hyper-stylized Hollywood violence, but pure, raw chaos.

Tarantino has named Sergio Corbucci's The Great Silence as a key influence on The Hateful Eight (2015). Set in a snowy, merciless landscape, it features a mute gunslinger, ruthless bounty hunters led by Klaus Kinski and one of the bleakest endings in western history. If you love the style of Django Unchained, this is essential viewing.

Kevin Bacon plays an ordinary man who turns into a bloodthirsty avenger after his son is murdered by a gang. The film is hard, bloody and completely over the top, recalling the revenge films Tarantino adores. Think Kill Bill, but in a modern setting.
