6. Grindhouse (2007)
This 2007 horror film, which recalls exploitation films of the '60s and '70s, is actually two features: one directed by Robert Rodriguez (Planet Terror) and the other by Quentin Tarantino (Death Proof), joined together and bookended by fictional trailers for upcoming movies, advertisements, and announcements.
The title comes from a common film industry term, "grindhouse," which refers a type of movie house, now mostly defunct, that specialized in "grinding out" double-bill programs of B movies. Rodriguez' offering follows a group of rebels caught in a zombie outbreak, while Tarantino's portion is pure slasher thriller, where a stuntman (Kurt Russell) stalks young women with his cars.
