Tarrantino's Least Uncommon Favorite Movies?

The Blade (1995, dir. Tsui Hark) — A highly stylized Hong Kong martial arts/wuxia film; Tarantino has called it out as a hidden gem.
Rolling Thunder (1977, dir. John Flynn) — A gritty revenge thriller with William Devane; one of Tarantino's go-to exploitation/action obscurities.
Sorcerer (1977, dir. William Friedkin) — Tense, existential thriller remake of The Wages of Fear; Tarantino has lauded its intensity.
The Great Silence (1968, dir. Sergio Corbucci) — A bleak, anti-Western spaghetti Western with Jean-Louis Trintignant; Tarantino often cites it as superior to many Leone films.
Joint Security Area (2000, dir. Park Chan-wook) — Early Park Chan-wook film about North/South Korean tensions; Tarantino has praised Korean cinema heavily.
Eaten Alive (1976, dir. Tobe Hooper) — Grimy horror from the Texas Chainsaw director; a lesser-known cult pick.
Matador (1986, dir. Pedro Almodóvar) — Early Almodóvar with erotic/thriller elements; shows Tarantino's appreciation for bold European cinema.
Audition (1999, dir. Takashi Miike) — Infamous Japanese horror; Tarantino has named it among extreme cinema he admires.
Unfaithfully Yours (1948, dir. Preston Sturges) — Screwball comedy classic but less remembered today; Tarantino highlights Sturges' wit.
Nightmare Alley (1947, dir. Edmund Goulding) — Dark carnival noir (original version); Tarantino prefers it over the remake.
