Quentin Tarantino’s Top 10 Movies of 2013.

Quentin Tarantino’s Top 10 Movies of 2013, Including…’The Lone Ranger’?
I'm surprised Machete Kills isn't there.
Quentin Tarantino’s Top 10 Movies of 2013, Including…’The Lone Ranger’?
He’s arguably one of the best filmmakers working today. He’s also (arguably) one of the best film critics in his spare time. So, when Quentin Tarantino shares his list for the best movies of any particular time period, we take notice.
Today, we have word on what Tarantino considers his top 10 movies of 2013 and while some selections won’t surprise you (‘Gravity‘), others (‘The Lone Ranger‘??) will.
Quentin Taranino isn’t much of a technology buff (he famously doesn’t even own a computer), so you won’t see a typed essay on his choices online anywhere, but he was gracious enough to respond to the request from The Tarantino Archives and he sent them a handwritten list of his top 10 movies of 2013.
Here they are, in alphabetical order:
Afternoon Delight (Jill Soloway)
Before Midnight (Richard Linklater)
Blue Jasmine (Woody Allen)
The Conjuring (James Wan)
Drinking Buddies (Joe Swanberg)
Frances Ha (Noah Baumbach)
Gravity (Alfonso Cuarón)
Kick Ass 2 (Jeff Wadlow)
The Lone Ranger (Gore Verbinski)
This Is The End (Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg)
Huh.
Tarantino is a noted Woody Allen fan, so we’re not surprised to see ‘Blue Jasmine’ make the list, nor are we surprised at ‘Gravity,’ ‘Before Midnight’ or, even ‘The Conjuring.’
We are, however, surprised to see that ‘Kick-Ass 2′ and ‘The Lone Ranger,’ two otherwise critically reviled (and let’s face it, not very good) movies.
What is not surprising here is that with the exception of one movie, the directors of the movies on this list either wrote or co-wrote the scripts. That one exception: ‘The Lone Ranger.’ (Note: though he is not officially credited on the movie, Wan worked on the script by Carey and Chad Hayes once he signed on to direct.)
There are still about two-and-a-half months left in the year and plenty of movies still to be added to this list. (Listen, Quentin, if you want to erase ‘The Lone Ranger’ off this list, we’ll just look in the other direction and pretend in never happened.) We’ll be very curious to read Tarantino’s reaction to ‘12 Years a Slave,’ a similarly-themed movie to Tarantino’s Oscar-winning ‘Django Unchained.’
So, what do you think of Tarantino’s list? Do you mostly agree with his choices?

Related to that, it explains why Machete Kills and other films not yet released aren't on it. It's not Tarantino's fault that other news outlets aren't reporting on it correctly.

The original article makes clear that this is only his best of 2013 so far.

Oh, THIS he has time for, but no time to crank out that Gecko Brother's prequel script?!
FUCK YOU, QT!
How about you work on that Chinatown movie theater.

Re: Quentin Tarantino’s Top 10 Movies of 2013.
I got a PR release about a film that will come out later this year called "Big Bad Wolves" with the heading of Quentin Tarantino's #1 favorite film of 2013.
"Quentin Tarantino calls BIG BAD WOLVES 'Best Film of the Year'!"
In BIG BAD WOLVES a series of brutal murders puts the lives of three men on a collision course: The father of the latest victim now out for revenge, a vigilante police detective operating outside the boundaries of law, and the main suspect in the killings - a religious studies teacher arrested and released due to a police blunder.

Re: Quentin Tarantino’s Top 10 Movies of 2013.
My top 10 meals of Tuesday, October 15th 2013:
1. Breakfast: scrambled eggs and bacon, a tad predictable, but well executed
2. lunch: smokehouse brisket at Arby's, I'm not sure it lived up to the hype, but still rather enjoyable.
Keep in mind this is a work in progress, this list is subject to change as the day progresses, and more meals are had.
