Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Quentin Tarantino has famously stated that his tenth movie will be his last, but looking at the careers of other great directors shows that this may be a mistake. Tarantino's 10 movie rule is all about ensuring that he leaves an unblemished legacy.
Although he could easily have quit a long time ago and still gone down in history as a filmmaking legend, Martin Scorsese has kept up the same pace throughout his career. He has been just as prolific in the 21st century as he was when he first started out over 50 years ago, and his last two movies have both received 10 Oscar nominations. Martin Scorsese is preparing a Frank Sinatra biopic and a movie based on Shūsaku Endō's novel, A Life of Jesus.
8 Clint Eastwood Eastwood may have been an actor first, but his directing skills soon caught up Close Million Dollar Baby, Invictus and American Sniper were each huge hits with audiences and critics, but Eastwood never would have reached the same technical level if he had limited himself to just a few movies.
The Coen brothers started out with a string of critically acclaimed dark comedy movies, often focusing on some sort of crime. Raising Arizona, Fargo and The Big Lebowski all revolve around farcical kidnapping plots, but the Coens have pushed beyond the limits of their comfort zone since the 1990s. They can still return to their roots, as shown by Hail, Caesar, but they are now two artists who are much harder to pin down.
Most of Alfred Hitchcock's best movies came in the 1950s and 1960s. By the time he directed Rear Window and Dial M for Murder, he had already been working for 30 years. There were a few hits before then which showed his quality, like Rebecca and Rope, but he would not have enjoyed such a stellar legacy if he had stopped at 10 or even 20 movies. If Tarantino's 10 movie rule is about keeping his legacy intact, he might want to consider how Hitchcock is viewed through a modern lens.
4 Stanley Kubrick Kubrick slowed down, but he never retired Close There were 12 years between Full Metal Jacket and Eyes Wide Shut. Tarantino could adopt a similar tactic, taking his time to ensure that a project is right for him. Akira Kurosawa's movies continue to captivate and inspire, as evidenced by Spike Lee's upcoming remake of High and Low, as well as countless homages to Seven Samurai, Yojimbo and Rashomon in western cinema. Had Kurosawa quit after 10 movies, none of his greatest works would exist. Quentin Tarantino has had a different career trajectory, with his early movies being huge hits, but he can still learn from Kurosawa.
