Quentin Tarantino fans are getting excited as the first movie from the Oscar-winning director is set to arrive in IMAX in just a few months. Tarantino penned the script for the highly anticipated Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood sequel, The Adventures of Cliff Booth, starring Brad Pitt. Before the film is added to Netflix’s global streaming library around Christmas, it will have two weeks of IMAX exclusivity starting on November 25. Tarantino wrote the script for the film, but he opted not to direct, passing off directorial duties to David Fincher, who recently directed The Killer and Mank. Tarantino has been especially vocal not just in the last few years, but also his entire career, about the movies he likes and doesn’t like, and one of his most beloved trilogies has finally found a home on streaming.
One thing Quentin Tarantino has never been shy about sharing is his love of old Westerns, particularly those starring Clint Eastwood. Tarantino himself has also directed a few iconic Western classics, including Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight, but this pales in comparison to the dozens of Westerns Eastwood starred in over the years. Tarantino has repeatedly expressed his love for Eastwood’s Dollars trilogy, which kicked off in 1964 with A Fistful of Dollars. This was followed by For a Few Dollars More one year later, in 1965, and The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly the next year, in 1966. The first two movies in the trilogy are streaming for free on Pluto TV, but all three films are also available to watch on Prime Video. Tarantino has said repeatedly that he thinks the Dollars trilogy is “the only trilogy that truly works.”

The Academy Has Decided Your Perfect Film Is…
Your answers have pointed to one Oscar Best Picture winner above all others. This is the film that was made for the way your mind works.

Parasite
You are drawn to films that operate on multiple levels simultaneously — that begin in one genre and quietly, brilliantly migrate into another. Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite is a film about class, desire, and the architecture of inequality that manages to be darkly funny, deeply suspenseful, and genuinely shocking across a single extraordinary running time. Your instinct is for cinema that hides its true intentions until the moment it’s ready to reveal them. Parasite is exactly that — a film that rewards close attention and punishes assumptions, right up to its devastating final image.

Everything Everywhere All at Once
You want it all — and this film gives you all of it. The Daniels’ Everything Everywhere All at Once is one of the most maximalist films ever made: action comedy, multiverse sci-fi, family drama, existential crisis, and a genuinely earned emotional core that sneaks up on you amid the chaos. You are someone who responds to ambition, who doesn’t want cinema to choose between being entertaining and being meaningful. This film refuses that choice entirely. It is overwhelming by design, and its overwhelming nature is precisely the point — because the feeling of being crushed by infinite possibility is exactly what it’s about.

Oppenheimer
You are drawn to cinema on a grand scale — films that understand history not as a backdrop but as a force, and that place their characters inside that force and watch what happens. Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer is a film about the terrifying gap between what we can do and what we should do, told with the full weight of one of the most consequential moments in human history behind it. You want your films to feel important without feeling self-important — to earn their ambition through sheer craft and the gravity of their subject. Oppenheimer does exactly that. It is enormous, complicated, and refuses easy comfort.

Birdman
You are drawn to films that foreground their own construction — that make the how of the filmmaking part of the what it’s about. Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Birdman, shot to appear as a single continuous take, is cinema examining itself through the cracked mirror of a fading actor’s ego. You respond to formal daring, to the feeling that a film is doing something that probably shouldn’t be possible. Michael Keaton’s performance and Emmanuel Lubezki’s restless camera create something genuinely unlike anything else — a film that is simultaneously about creativity, relevance, self-destruction, and the impossibility of ever truly knowing if your work means anything at all.

No Country for Old Men
You are drawn to cinema that trusts silence, that refuses to explain itself, and that treats dread as a form of meaning. The Coen Brothers’ No Country for Old Men is a film about the arrival of a new kind of evil — implacable, arbitrary, and utterly indifferent to the moral frameworks we use to make sense of the world. It is one of the most formally controlled films ever made, and its controlled restraint is what makes it so terrifying. You want your films to haunt you, not comfort you. You are not interested in resolution if resolution would be dishonest. No Country for Old Men is honest in a way that most cinema never dares to be.
