[[Quentin Tarantino filmography|His films]] are characterized by [[nonlinear narrative|nonlinear storylines]], [[Satire|satirical]] subject matter, an [[aestheticization of violence]], extended scenes of dialogue, [[ensemble cast]]s consisting of [[A-list|established]] and lesser-known performers, references to [[popular culture]], [[soundtrack]]s primarily containing songs and [[film score|score pieces]] from the 1960s to the 1980s, and features of [[neo-noir]] film. He is widely considered one of the greatest filmmakers of his generation. His career began in the late 1980s, when he wrote and directed ''[[My Best Friend's Birthday]]'', the screenplay of which formed the basis for ''[[True Romance]]''. In the early 1990s, he began his career as an [[Independent film|independent]] filmmaker with the release of ''[[Reservoir Dogs]]'' in 1992, which was coined the "Greatest Independent Film of All Time" by ''[[Empire (film magazine)|Empire]]''. Its popularity was boosted by his second film, ''[[Pulp Fiction]]'' (1994), a black comedy crime film that was a major success both among critics and audiences. Judged the greatest film from 1983–2008 by ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'',<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20207063,00.html|title=The New Classics: Movies|work=Entertainment Weekly|date=June 8, 2007|accessdate=September 29, 2013}}</ref> many critics and scholars have named it one of the most significant works of modern [[Cinema of the United States|cinema]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://explore.bfi.org.uk/sightandsoundpolls/2012/film/4ce2b7c5c1618|title=''Pulp Fiction'' (1994)|publisher=[[British Film Institute]]|accessdate=November 9, 2015}}</ref> For his next effort, Tarantino paid homage to the [[blaxploitation]] films of the 1970s with ''[[Jackie Brown]]'' (1997), an adaptation of the novel ''[[Rum Punch]]''. ''[[Kill Bill]]'', a highly stylized "revenge flick" in the cinematic traditions of [[Kung fu films]], [[Kendo|Japanese martial arts]], [[Spaghetti Western]]s and [[Italian cinema|Italian]] [[Horror film|horror]], followed six years later, and was released as two films: ''[[Kill Bill:<!--The official website shows a colon in the title. See here: http://www.miramax.com/movie/kill-bill-volume-1/ --> Volume 1|Volume 1]]'' in 2003 and ''[[Kill Bill:<!--The official website shows a colon in the title. See here: http://www.miramax.com/movie/kill-bill-volume-2/ --> Volume 2|Volume 2]]'' in 2004. Tarantino directed ''[[Death Proof]]'' (2007) as part of a [[double feature]] with friend [[Robert Rodriguez]], under the collective title ''[[Grindhouse (film)|Grindhouse]]''. His long-postponed ''[[Inglourious Basterds]]'', which tells the fictional alternate history story of two plots to assassinate Nazi Germany's political leadership, was released in 2009 to positive reviews. After that came 2012's critically acclaimed ''[[Django Unchained]]'', a Western film set in the [[antebellum era]] of the [[Deep South]]. It became the highest-grossing film of his career so far, making over $425 million at the box office. His eighth film, the mystery Western ''[[The Hateful Eight]]'', was released in its [[Roadshow theatrical release|roadshow]] version December 25, 2015, in [[70 mm film]] format, complete with opening "overture" and halfway-point intermission, after the fashion of big-budget films of the 1960s and early 1970s. Tarantino's films have garnered both critical and commercial success. He has received many industry awards, including two [[Academy Awards]], two [[Golden Globe Awards]], two [[BAFTA Awards]] and the [[Palme d'Or]], and has been nominated for an [[Primetime Emmy Awards|Emmy]] and a [[Grammy Award|Grammy]].

His father is of Italian descent, and his mother has Cherokee and Irish ancestry. Quentin was named after Quint Asper, [[Burt Reynolds]]' character in the [[CBS]] series ''[[Gunsmoke]]''. Quentin's mother met his father during a trip to Los Angeles, where Tony was a law student and would-be entertainer. She married him soon after, to gain independence from her parents, but the marriage did not last. Connie Tarantino left Los Angeles, and moved to Knoxville, where her parents lived. In 1966, Tarantino and his mother moved back to Los Angeles where they lived in the [[South Bay, Los Angeles|South Bay]], in the southern part of the city. Tarantino grew up there.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Holm|first1=D.K.|title=Quentin Tarantino: The Pocket Essential Guide|date=2004|publisher=Summersdale Publishers|isbn=1848398662|pages=24–5}}</ref><ref name=BBC-faces>{{cite news|last1=Walker|first1=Andrew|title=Faces of the week – Quentin Tarantino|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/3712013.stm|accessdate=July 13, 2015|work=[[BBC News]]|date=May 14, 2004}}</ref> Tarantino's mother married musician Curtis Zastoupil soon after coming to Los Angeles, and the family moved to [[Torrance, California|Torrance]], a city in Los Angeles County's South Bay area. Zastoupil encouraged Tarantino's love of movies, and accompanied him to numerous film screenings. Tarantino's mother allowed him to see movies with adult content, such as ''[[Carnal Knowledge]]'' (1971) and ''[[Deliverance]]'' (1972). After his mother divorced Zastoupil in 1973, and received a misdiagnosis of [[Hodgkin's lymphoma]], Tarantino was sent to live with his grandparents in Tennessee. He remained there for about six months to a year, before returning to California. His mother's next husband, to whom she was married for eight years, also took Tarantino to films. At 14 years old, Tarantino wrote one of his earliest works, a [[screenplay]] called ''Captain Peachfuzz and the Anchovy Bandit'', where a thief steals pizzas from a pizzeria. It was based on [[Hal Needham]]'s 1977 film ''[[Smokey and the Bandit]]'', starring [[Burt Reynolds]]. The summer after his fifteenth birthday, Tarantino was grounded by his mother for shoplifting [[Elmore Leonard]]'s novel ''The Switch'' from [[Kmart]]. He was only allowed to leave to attend the Torrance Community Theater, where he participated in such plays as ''Two Plus Two Makes Sex'' and ''[[Romeo and Juliet]]''.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Holm|first1=D.K.|title=Quentin Tarantino: The Pocket Essential Guide|date=2004|publisher=Summersdale Publishers|isbn=1848398662|pages=26–7}}</ref> At about 15 or 16, Tarantino dropped out of [[Narbonne High School]] in [[Harbor City, Los Angeles]].<ref name=BI-SchoolDroupout>{{cite news|last1=Giang|first1=Vivian|title=10 Wildly Successful People Who Dropped Out Of High School|url=http://www.businessinsider.com/successful-people-who-dropped-out-of-high-school-2013-5?op=1|accessdate=July 14, 2015|work=[[Business Insider]]|date=May 20, 2013}}</ref> He got a job [[Usher (occupation)|ushering]] at a [[porn theater]] in Torrance, called the [[Pussycat Theatre]], after saying he was older than he truly was.

While at the James Best, Tarantino also met Craig Hamann, with whom he collaborated to produce ''[[My Best Friend's Birthday]]'', an eventually-forsaken film project. In the 1980s, Tarantino worked in a number of places. He played one of a group of [[Elvis impersonator]]s in "Sophia's Wedding: Part 1", an episode in the [[The Golden Girls (season 4)|fourth season]] of ''[[The Golden Girls]]'', which was broadcast on November 19, 1988. Tarantino also worked as a recruiter in the [[aerospace industry]], and for five years, he worked in [[Video Archives]], a video store in [[Manhattan Beach, California]].<ref>{{cite book|last1=Holm|first1=D.K.|title=Quentin Tarantino: The Pocket Essential Guide|date=2004|publisher=Summersdale Publishers|isbn=1848398662|pages=27–8}}</ref><ref name=IGNFF-Strong /> Former ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' actor [[Danny Strong]] described Tarantino as a "fantastic video store clerk."

Tarantino wrote the script for the film in three-and-a-half weeks and Bender forwarded it to director [[Monte Hellman]]. Hellman helped Tarantino to secure funding from [[Richard Gladstein]] at Live Entertainment (which later became Artisan, now known as [[Lions Gate Entertainment|Lionsgate]]).

Tarantino wrote, directed, and acted in the black comedy crime film ''[[Pulp Fiction]]'' in 1994, maintaining the [[aestheticization of violence]], for which he is known, as well as his non-linear storylines. Tarantino received an [[Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay]], which he shared with [[Roger Avary]], who contributed to the story. He also received a nomination in the [[Academy Award for Best Director|Best Director]] category. The film received another five nominations, including for [[Academy Award for Best Picture|Best Picture]]. Tarantino also won the [[Palme d'Or]] for the film at the [[Cannes Film Festival]].

These films are usually labeled "Presented by Quentin Tarantino" or "Quentin Tarantino Presents". The first of these productions was in 2001 with the Hong Kong martial arts film ''[[Iron Monkey (1993 film)|Iron Monkey]]'', which made over $14 million in the United States, seven times its budget. In 2004, he brought the Chinese martial arts film ''[[Hero (2002 film)|Hero]]'' to U.S. shores. It ended up having a No. 1 opening at the box office and making $53.5 million. In 2006, another "Quentin Tarantino presents" production, ''[[Hostel (2005 film)|Hostel]]'', opened at No. 1 at the box office with a $20.1 million opening weekend, good for 8th all time in January. He presented 2006's ''[[Tom-Yum-Goong|The Protector]]'', and is a producer of the 2007 film ''[[Hostel: Part II]]''. In 2008, he produced the [[Larry Bishop]]-helmed ''[[Hell Ride]]'', a revenge biker film. In addition, in 1995 Tarantino formed [[Rolling Thunder Pictures]] with Miramax to release or re-release several independent and foreign features. By 1997, Miramax had shut down the company due to "lack of interest" in the pictures released. The following films were released by Rolling Thunder Pictures: ''[[Chungking Express]]'' (1994, dir. [[Wong Kar-wai]]), ''[[Switchblade Sisters]]'' (1975, dir. [[Jack Hill]]), ''[[Sonatine (1993 film)|Sonatine]]'' (1993, dir. [[Takeshi Kitano]]), ''[[Hard Core Logo]]'' (1996, dir.
