馃幀Quentin Tarantino's Sight and Sound ballot (2012)

picked once a decade for the BFI's directors' poll, alphabetical, not a ranking

01
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966)
Leone, Morricone score. the whole package
02
Apocalypse Now, 1979
03
The Bad News Bears (1976)
04
Carrie - Brian De Palma, 1976
his words, not mine: he's called this one of the best King adaptations, full stop
05
Dazed and Confused (1993)
the newest thing on the whole ballot. Linklater. everything else here is older
06
The Great Escape, 1963
07
His Girl Friday (1940)
08
Jaws
1975, Spielberg. start here if you've somehow never seen it
09
Pretty Maids All in a Row (1971)
Roger Vadim, the deep cut nobody expects here. this is the one people ask about
10
Rolling Thunder, 1977
11
Sorcerer (1977)
Friedkin, flopped in theaters. this ballot is part of why it got rediscovered
12
Taxi Driver (1976)
