So why am I (Bob Hoff, Land of Enchantment) interested in the movies of Quentin Tarantino? Because our now 22-year old son Erik shared his Tarantino movie interests a couple years ago.
Tarantino is a different kind of director (see Wikipedia article for examples), and darn if he isn’t interesting. Erik is a general compendium of movie information, serving his own information needs and those of others like me.
Watching movies, reading about them, and discussing them is one of his hobbies. When Erik drops by, movie discussions play into into conversations around our dinner table
(From Wikipedia) Quentin Jerome Tarantino (pronounced /ˌtærənˈtiːnoʊ/; born March 27, 1963) is an American film director, screenwriter, producer, cinematographer and occasional actor. In the early 1990s he began his career as an independent filmmaker whose films used nonlinear storylines and the aestheticization of violence. His films include Reservoir Dogs (1992), Pulp Fiction (1994), Jackie Brown (1997), Kill Bill (2003–2004), Death Proof (2007) and Inglourious Basterds (2009). His films have earned him an Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award, a BAFTA and a Palme d'Or and he has been nominated for Emmy and Grammy awards

Quentin Tarantino, the Oscar-winning director of films such as "Pulp Fiction," "Kill Bill" and the Nazi action flick "Inglourious Basterds," has revealed his top 20 favorite movies of 2010 and the No. 1 contender on his list doesn't even feature live actors on screen.
His (Tarantino’s) top pick, "Toy Story 3," is the latest animated sequel to the hit franchise by Disney-Pixar and sees Tom Hanks and Tim Allen reprising their roles as toys Woody and Buzz Lightyear. In this film, they embark on a quest to help their friends escape from a day care center ruled by evil toys.
The Tarantino movies I have seen have kept my attention and interest; thanks for your introduction to me of Quentin Tarantino, Erik.
Erik, which is your favorite QT movie AND your least preferred?
