Quentin Tarantino has named Once Upon A Time in Hollywood his best movie to date.

During an appearance on The Howard Stern Show, the 59-year-old filmmaker was asked to pick his best film ever.

Tarantino released the film in 2019. It exceeded expectations on the first weekend of release by grossing $371m (£311m) at the worldwide box office.

At the 2020 Oscars, the film picked was nominated for 10 awards, including best director and best picture, and it won Brad Pitt the Academy Award for supporting actor.
