Quentin Tarantino certainly knows what the deal is when it comes to movies, he's certainly made plenty of great ones.
However, there's one film which he recently declared he won't make, and given some recent announcements, there's likely to be another movie joining those ranks in the future.
The director was recently on Bill Maher's Club Random podcast to chat about all sorts of things, but when you've got Tarantino in the room, you'd be remiss not to steer the conversation towards movies.
The chatter soon turned towards films, and specifically trilogies as Tarantino said he thought there was 'only one trilogy that completely and utterly works to the nth degree'.

He explained that it was Sergio Leone's 'Dollars Trilogy' of movies A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More and The Good, The Bad and The Ugly all starring Clint Eastwood as iconic Western character 'The Man With No Name'.
That might explain why Tarantino asked composer Ennio Morricone, who did the music for Sergio Leone's movies, to work on six of his own films, including the Westerns Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight.
That's Tarantino's favourite trilogy of movies as the director noted that many other trilogies 'don't really land the third one' using the example of the Mad Max films and saying that Beyond Thunderdome 'doesn't dwarf' The Road Warrior.
However, there was another trilogy of films which he thought did manage to pull off the trick of going bigger and better with each film, and it's something you'll almost certainly have seen growing up.
He said: "In the case of Toy Story, the third one is just magnificent. It's one of the best movies I've ever seen.
"If you've seen the other two then it's just devastating."
While Toy Story got glowing praise from Tarantino, the director did say he had 'no desire' to see Toy Story 4 because the third one ended so well.
"But the thing is, three years later or something they did a fourth and I have no desire to see it," he told Maher.
"They literally ended the story as perfect as you could. So I don't care if it's good, I'm done. I am done. It can still be good, I am done."
You might not expect him to be queuing for for Toy Story 5 then, and plenty agreed with Tarantino that the first three movies in the series were the best.
Lots thought the third movie 'packed an emotional punch' and didn't really need a follow up, with people commenting that 'the fourth movie was not needed' and that like Tarantino they 'have no desire to see it'.
Being a sequel the story didn't need after ending so well is probably the most common criticism of Toy Story 4 people have, and now movie number five is on the way some are wondering if the fourth film's ending 'meant nothing', since it sounds like Woody is coming back.
