I thought I would go through an interview that Tarantino did with Elvis Mitchell back in 2008 and pull all the movies they talk about.
In the interview, they discuss Tarantino's interest in melodrama, lesser appreciated actors, great comic performances and the "Bogart mystique" among other briefly touched upon subjects.
Look in the notes for specific points Tarantino makes and what their discussion was about in regards to each film.
Also, below are directors and actors he made reference to without mentioning a specific film of their's and what he said about them.
Pedro Almodovar - Proper Modern Melodrama
Raul Walsh - Director Whose Melodramas He Enjoys
Fan of the Following American Actors: John Wayne, Gene Arthur (more so when he discovered her movies than now) and Veronica Lake
