10 Great Movies That Have Been Directly Referenced by Quentin Tarantino (Collider)

"It's no secret that Quentin Tarantino loves old movies and is a massive fan of referencing many of his favorites in his films. It's one of his trademarks, and he's widely celebrated (and sometimes criticized) for the way each movie he directs feels like a cocktail of different older movies blended into something that ends up feeling unique. While it's hard to say how many films he has referenced, this list by a Letterboxd user suggests it's at least 500, and who knows how many truly obscure movies he's referenced in ways viewers haven't even picked up on yet. It isn't easy to judge which references are the best or most effective, given there are so many, but it is possible to take a look at the ones he took significant cues from. All of these are good movies in their own right and are worth checking out for any fans of Tarantino, as it's always interesting to see where he gets his inspiration from." - collider.com
