Considering how unabashedly Quentin Tarantino wears his cinephilia on his sleeve, it's always fascinating to get a peek inside that movie geek brain of his to see what's swimming around. And thanks to The Quentin Tarantino Archives, the world now knows which 11 films of last year topped QT's best-of list, which just missed the cut, and which movies, interestingly enough, earned his "Nice Try" award.
Last year Tarantino named Toy Story 3 the best of the year while also praising Animal Kingdom, I Am Love, and Enter the Void in his choice cuts. This time around he seems to have stuck with mainstream cineplex offerings -- no Melancholia, for example, and only one foreign language movie in the entire list!
Browse his picks and see if you agree:

Maybe in 2011, while prepping Django Unchained, Tarantino didn't get out much. It's possible he watches more older movies than new ones. Perhaps genre exercises Drive, Drive Angry, and Hanna hewed too close to…
