The 1973 Cult Classic That Quentin Tarantino Called “One of the Greatest Revenge Movies Ever Made” Is Streaming on MGM+

Fans ofQuentin Tarantino‘s work appreciate his love for spaghetti Westerns, which can be felt in movies such as Django Unchained, The Hateful Eight, and even Reservoir Dogs. But the famously opinionated filmmaker is an equally passionate fan of grindhouse movies. He grew up on them in Los Angeles, and even paid homage to them with Death Proof. Released around two decades ago, the movie was presented as part of a double bill with another feature, directed by Robert Rodriguez. The experience was made complete with the inclusion of several fake trailers for “coming attractions.” While Death Proof remains the most overt tribute that Tarantino paid to the grindhouse movies of his youth, the filmmaker made his tastes apparent early in his career, when he cast a grindhouse icon in the titular role of his Pulp Fiction follow-up.
