“Maybe not the greatest film. But it’s the greatest movie ever made,” Quentin Tarantino said of Jaws. “And then there are other movies that can get in its rarefied air. But as far as a movie, there’s no making it better than ‘Jaws.’'
“I fucking love ‘Top Gun: Maverick.’ I thought it was fantastic,” Tarantino said. “I saw it at the theaters. That and [Steven] Spielberg’s ‘West Side Story’ both provided a true cinematic spectacle, the kind that I’d almost thought that I wasn’t going to see anymore. It was fantastic.”
“There was just this lovely, lovely aspect because I love both Tony Scott’s cinema so much, and I love Tony so much that that’s as close as we’re ever going to get to seeing one more Tony Scott movie,” Tarantino said. “[Director Joseph Kosinski] did a great job. The respect and the love of Tony was in every frame. It was almost in every decision. It was consciously right there, but in this really cool way that was really respectful.
One small gripe Tarantino had with the movie was that the emotional reunion scene between Cruise and Val Kilmer was “almost too cheap.” Yet the director added, “But it absolutely works. It’s a bit like Charlie Chaplin dying on stage for the last scene of ‘Limelight’… but it fucking works. You’re waiting for it and the fucking scene delivers.”, Tarantino called Spielberg’s “Jaws” the “greatest movie ever made.
