Quentin Tarantino’s Self-Proclaimed “best movie” Is Now Streaming!
What do you consider Quentin Tarantino’s best film? We know that’s a bit of a Sophie’s Choice, isn’t it? There are many great options. With that said, if you regard Once Upon a Time in Hollywood as the director’s most effective offering, you’re in good company. It turns out that Tarantino himself considers that Oscar-winning effort the most effective of his iconic cinematic oeuvre. How do we know? Because Tarantino once said as much to Howard Stern while he was making the rounds promoting his book, Cinema Speculation.
The controversial radio personality asked Tarantino to name his favorite of his films, to which the Pulp Fiction director replied: “For years people used to ask me stuff like that, and I would say something like, ‘Oh, they’re all my children.’” Tarantino continued, “I really do think Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is my best movie.”
The setup for Tarantino’s self-proclaimed best film goes like this: Actor Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) gained fame and fortune by starring in a 1950s television Western but is now struggling to find meaningful work in a Hollywood that he doesn’t recognize anymore. He spends most of his time drinking and palling around with Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt), his easygoing best friend and longtime stunt double. Rick also happens to live next door to Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate (Rafał Zawierucha and Margot Robbie respectively)– the filmmaker and budding actress whose futures will forever be altered by members of the Manson Family.
Have you experienced Once Upon a Time in Hollywood yet? Perhaps you caught the flick while it was on Hulu for a spell? The platform recently removed the picture, but all is not lost. You can now stream the film via FX Movies. You’ll just need your cable company logins to access!
Seeing as Tarantino is writing a sequel to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood with David Fincher set to direct, now may be the perfect time to revisit the original.
So, there you go. Tarantino has a favorite effort from his own filmography, and that film is Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. If you’re keen to stream the picture, you now know where to find it.
