Quentin Tarantino doesn’t just love movies, he loves music just as much. And he proves this love of music in every one of his movie soundtracks. Think of “Stuck in the Middle With You” from Reservoir Dogs, “Girl, You’ll Be A Woman Soon” from Pulp Fiction, or “Django” from Django Unchained. There are many ways to use movie music — but Quentin Tarantino defies expectations at every turn.

In this video essay, let’s look at Quentin Tarantino takes his movie soundtracks and crafts some of the most memorable scenes in movie history. Kill Bill, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Inglourious Basterds, The Hateful Eight — each film has a distinct musical identity but you know right away that these are Quentin Tarantino movie soundtracks. He doesn’t just pick pop songs for their own sake, Tarantino finds the rhythm and soul of each track and somehow pairs it with the perfect scene.

In fact, much of Quentin Tarantino’s movie music should not work at all — but it does. Whether it’s torturing a man to an upbeat groove, or splicing a David Bowie track over a WWII movie — Quentin Tarantino challenges his audience with his music and we love him all the more for it.
