Quentin Tarantion Names Black Hawk Down Best Movie of the Past 25+ Years

 






















Variety - "Quentin Tarantino Names ‘Black Hawk Down’ the Best Movie of the 21st Century; His Top 10 Includes ‘Dunkirk,’ ‘Toy Story 3,’ ‘Zodiac’ and More"

"“I liked it when I first saw it, but I actually think it was so intense that it stopped working for me, and I didn’t carry it with me the way that I should’ve,” Tarantino said about selecting “Black Hawk Down” as his top pick. “Since then, I’ve seen it a couple of times, not a bunch of times, but I think it’s a masterwork, and one of the things I love so much about it is […] this is the only movie that actually goes completely for an ‘Apocalypse Now’ sense of purpose and visual effect and feeling, and I think it achieves it. It keeps up the intensity for 2 hours 45 minutes, or whatever it is, and I watched it again recently, my heart was going through the entire runtime of the movie; it had me and never let me go, and I hadn’t seen it in a while. The feat of direction is beyond extraordinary.”"
