America has an embarrassment of riches when it come to great filmmakers. Save for Fellini, Truffaut, Kirosawa, if you were to name the greatest directors of all time, we’d wager that that the majority of them would be American. That’s not to say that other countries’ directors aren’t as brilliant; we just have more of them.

We’ve been absolutely obsessed with movies all of our life, but we didn’t begin to even entertain the thought that films and filmmakers could be…different. We just assumed a movie was a movie, and that the director was just a guy in a chair, screaming through a megaphone at his uncooperative actors. That is, until Pulp Fiction came out. We thought a movie went linearly from start to finish, not somehow connecting seemingly unconnected events and characters that are oftentimes only vaguely related to one another. We didn’t know that Spaghetti Westerns, Kung Fu movies, and Blacksploitation films could create this awesome universe of seedy characters existing in a seedy world all around us.

The affinity and the obsession Tarantino has for these different genres of film (we get it…you grew up in the 70s,) has created the perfect amalgam of some of the most interesting films of all time. It also given those films the aesthetic of stylized violence mixed with effortless cool and timeless fashion that has become not only a trademark, but also have him Tarantino’s films the most ripped off film styles ever.

So, because we’re look them and are starting to really like the idea of writing more and more articles based on the films of auteur directors, we’re going through the filmography of Quentin Tarantino, we give you the best looks from his entire oeuvre, in chronological order.
