Quentin Tarantino recently did an interview with The Hollywood Reporter and he told them his favorite films of 2009.  But he did his list with an asterisk, as he admitted to not having seen Avatar, Invictus, or The Lovely Bones.  As of right now, his top eight films are:

1. Star Trek (JJ Abrams)

2. Drag Me To Hell (Sam Raimi)

3. Funny People (Judd Apatow)

4. Up in the Air (Jason Reitman)

5. Chocolate (Prachya Pinkaew)

6. Observe and Report (Jody Hill)

7. Precious (Lee Daniels)

8. An Education (Lone Scherfig)

If you'd like to watch him say his list and explain how things might change, hit the jump:

Of course when anyone makes a best of the year list, you will always wonder why certain great films never made the cut.  Quickly looking over his top eight, you immediately wonder where is Pixar's Up.  But, at the same time, how many are going to say Drag Me To Hell is their number two film of the year.  I'm curious what his final list will look like.
