The thing with Tarantino is the mix-and-match. We've built up such trust that now he gives me the dailies and I put 'em together and there's little interference. It's a rare, intense sort of a relationship and if it ain't broke, you wouldn't want to fix it. Editing is all about intuiting the tone of a scene and you have to chime with the director. He's encyclopaedic, passionate, electrifying. I let out a yell that echoed around the mountain. I was hiking up in Canada on a remote mountain in Banff when I saw a phone box and I stopped to call LA and they confirmed I'd got the gig. Later, when I found out Harvey Keitel was attached – he was the first person Quentin had approached – I was more determined to get this job than ever. Scorsese was a hero of mine, especially as he used a female editor in Thelma Schoonmaker, and this script just had that tone. I got in touch and he sent me this script for a thing called Reservoir Dogs and I just thought it was amazing. I met Quentin when he was interviewing for an editor – a cheap one. It's very civilised and enabled me to work through both my pregnancies – yes, my babies had Tarantino movies played to them in the womb, but they seem to have come out OK. Quentin insists on renting little private houses in LA and converting them into edit suites for the duration.

I've been with Quentin Tarantino since his very first movie and have edited every single thing he's done since then.
We have a very private relationship with our directors, most often conducted in very dark rooms. Below are 35 movies Quentin Tarantino loves.E ditors are the quiet heroes of movies and I like it that way.
There might only be one more Quentin Tarantino directorial feature left (as long as he sticks to his plan to retire after 10 films), but there are enough movies that have gotten the Tarantino seal of approval that fans will never stop getting a look inside the filmmaker’s brain. Regardless, Tarantino’s cinema passions run through his movies like DNA and one can see why with the below list of some of the director’s favorite movies. And show how smart they are with all their film references.” But that’s very much the mind of critics who are trying to beat the mastermind. ‘That’s from this and that’s from that,’ and it’s like 1) movies I haven’t even seen and didn’t take it from that and came up with it myself, or 2) well, yes, in the history of cinema, some other people have maybe done this but that’s not where I’m coming from. It’s one of those things where it becomes annoying because anything in my movie - critics are trying to write a laundry list. I rarely take shots from other movies,” the filmmaker once told Variety. “There are definitely things that I’ve taken from the history of cinema. But for as much as Tarantino remixes his cinema obsessions, he stresses that critics and audiences have made his reference machine a bigger deal than it is. It’s no surprise Tarantino is one of the most vocal cinephiles on the planet, often using the publicity tours for his movies to offer up deep dives on his favorite movies or the handful of genre films that served as inspiration for his latest endeavor.
To watch a Quentin Tarantino movie is to get a crash course in film history, whether you are aware of it or not. Quentin Tarantino makes movies that are love letters to his cinema obsessions.
