# 5 Inglorious Basterds

'Inglourious Basterds'

Eli Roth and Brad Pitt in Inglourious Basterds© The Weinstein Company
Quentin Tarantino's back, baby, and he returns with a vengeance.Inglourious Basterds is his best work since 1994's Pulp Fiction. Quoting from my reviewInglourious Basterds is "crazy, nasty fun, and pure, unadulterated Tarantino. It's also a glorious love letter to film that goes as far as to literally use film stock as a means to try and wipe out Hitler and his high command."

Brad Pitt does a bizarre Tennessee-ish accent and Hostel director Eli Roth steps in front of the camera to play a baseball bat-wielding killer of Nazis. But the most audacious aspect of Inglourious Basterds is how Tarantino plays with history. He kills off the leaders of the Third Reich in one fantastic frenzy of bullets and fire. What's not to like about that?
