If Quentin Tarantino hadn’t become a director, he thinks he’d probably be a film critic. The iconic stylistic filmmaker is incredibly knowledgeable of cinema and often shares his thoughts on the classics.

Speaking previously on CinemaBlend’s ReelBlend podcast, Tarantino was promoting his very own. The 59-year-old co-hosts The Video Archives Podcast with Roger Avary, who he co-wrote the Oscar-winning screenplay of Pulp Fiction with.

Back in the 1980s, the pair used to work at Video Archives VHS rental store together in Manhattan Beach, California before entering the film industry.

During the discussion, the Once Upon A Time in Hollywood director declared what he believes is the greatest movie of all time.

Tarantino said: “I think Jaws is the greatest movie ever made. Maybe not the greatest film. But it’s the greatest movie ever made. 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. There’s no ‘better’ than Jaws. It is the best movie ever made. And it shows how badly timed most movies made before Jaws were.”

Steven Spielberg’s 1975 thriller often enters the top 10 best films of all time lists, so it’s not surprising the filmmaker went for one of those.

Jaws is on BBC Two at 9:15pm and is followed at 11:15pm by Jaws at 50: The Definitive Story, a feature-length documentary including Steven Spielberg.
