I think most of us will agree that Quentin Tarantino is at the least a very good film maker. Personally I happen to think he is among the best, but that doesn't mean I always agree with his taste in movies. His best of lists always have a couple of strange or controversial choices and 2011's is no different. There are undoubtedly a few (in fact I would say most are) great films below. Perhaps he tagged on The Three Musketeers at the end there for a giggle. Anyway, the CBMs and other related movies we covered last year are highlighted, be sure to give your thoughts in the usual place.

It seems that the man is a fan of the glorious CBM at any rate, although conspicuous by it's absence is Marvel's
Thor. Maybe he didn't get to see that one? Tarantino has only dipped his hand in the genre once when he directed a segment of Robert Rodriguez's
Sin City, but many fans have longed to see him helm a full comic book based movie. He was rumored to be interested in
Deadpool at one point but even if that were true, obviously nothing ever came of it. Maybe one day we will see one. If so which property do you guys think would suit him best?
