Tarantino XX: 8-Film Collection
Arrives on Blu-ray Disc November 20th, 2012.
I guess I can be called a Tarantino fan because I’ve watched most of his movies, and as sick as they might be, I love them! From Resevoir Dogs to his most recent Inglorious Basterds, I have seen them all and enjoy watching them again and again.
Tarantino XX contains eight films chosen by Tarantino to illustrate the first 20 years of his career, featuring the films that helped define his early success, including Reservoir Dogs, True Romance, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill Vol. 1, Kill Bill Vol. 2, Death Proof and Inglourious Basterds. (Lionsgate)
