Some interesting choices, but a lot of obvious choices, too. Here are Taratino's in order:

1. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966, Sergio Leone)
2. Rio Bravo (1959, Howard Hawks)
3. Taxi Driver (1976, Martin Scorsese)
4. His Girl Friday (1940, Howard Hawks)
5. Rolling Thunder (1977, John Flynn)
6. They All Laughed (1981, Bogdanovich)
7. The Great Escape (1963, John Sturges)
8. Carrie (1976, Brian De Palma)
9. Coffy (1973, Jack Hill)
10. Dazed and Confused (1993, Richard Linklater)
11. Five Fingers of Death (1973, Chang Ho Cheng)
12. Hi Diddle Diddle (1943, Andrew L. Stone)

------------------------------

Choices 5 and 6 I find completely dumbfounding -- totally mediocre, with absolutely no visual acuity, which is weird being that Taratino has a greay visual sense.
