Quentin Tarantino sure loves making top lists. Aside of his contributions to the Sight & Sound polls, there's Tarantino's favorite films since Reservoir Dogs, spaghetti westerns, grindhouse films and even death scenes and killer movie moments. While his genre knowledge is respected, his "top films of the year" list is always, to say the least, controversial. From preferring the Jonah Hill/Russell Brand comedy Get Him to the Greek over David O. Russell's The Fighter to giving Nicolas Winding Refn's Drive a "nice try award", Tarantino has been offering juicy material to his detractors almost each year.
And now, QT's "top ten films of 2013" comes a bit early, surprisingly excluding such efforts as Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim and Edgar Wright's The World's End but making room for Alfonso Cuarón's Gravity and the critically panned The Lone Ranger. In the gallery below you can check out Tarantino's complete though not definitive 2013 list (in alphabetical order).
