Last year we posted something that almost crashed our servers and caused huge ripples around the internet: Quentin Tarantino‘s list of his favorite films of 2010 (click here to read). There were some controversial choices and some omissions in the opinions of a lot of commenters, and the discussions were very active. Even earlier, during his filming of Inglourious Basterds he let us have lists of his top 20 favorite Spaghetti Westerns (click here to read) and exploitation films (click here to read), and now that the new year is upon us, we have been receiving some emails whether Q will once more come down from the mountain he is currently climbing like Moses and bestow his judgement upon last years cinematic works. He is currently out and about filming his new movie Django Unchained, with Jamie Foxx, Leo DiCaprio and a whole ensemble cast of amazing actors, to bring it to theaters before the end of the year, just in time for christmas. And you know what… here it is, Quentin Tarantino’s list of favorite movies last year, just in time for the awards season.

But hold! This time it is an official Top 11 (12 to be exact, it includes one tie), and there are some goodies attached below! This is now a full awards show ladies and gents, there are some other categories, some best director and writer awards in there as well. Santa brought a whole bag! Special Thanks to Quentin for taking some time off and compiling this list!
