Quentin Tarantino names best film of the decade  

Quentin Tarantino has been reflecting on a series of cinematic pictures to have impressed over the past ten years.

The Academy Award-winning director of films such as Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and more sat down with French publication Premiere in a new interview to discuss a wide-ranging topic of film values.

Having previously picked out Christopher Nolan’s war film Dunkirk as his second favourite picture of the 2010s, Tarantino couldn’t hide his admiration for David Fincher’s 2010 effort The Social Network, Faroutmagazine.co.uk reports.

“It’s The Social Network, hands down,” Tarantino said in response to a question which asked for his favourite film of the last decade. “It is number one because it’s the best, that’s all! It crushes all the competition.”

The film, a biographical drama directed by Fincher and written by Aaron Sorkin, was based on Ben Mezrich’s 2009 book The Accidental Billionaires and follows the trials and tribulations in the founding and subsequent lawsuits around social networking website Facebook.

The film stars the likes of Jesse Eisenberg—who plays the role of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg—as well as Andrew Garfield, Justin Timberlake, Armie Hammer, Max Minghella and more.
