'When people ask me if I went to film school, I tell them 'No, I went to films.'' (Quentin Tarantino)

So here is a list of 365 films (one for each day of a year), that educated and captivated QT, and have inspired him to make the films he makes.

This list is based on interviews with the man, his reviews, his programming of the QT Film Fest, and his own many lists.
