Although there are a lot of good movies there, most of those are not Tarantino esque.

Holes?

Non-linear story telling, narration, Western themes, musically embellished, protagonists who are on the wrong side of the law, quippy dialogue, a black baw banging a white lady

Tarantino-esque


Next challenge to the list is awaited

Desperado
Once Upon a Time in Mexico
Machete
