Once Upon a Time... in Nazi-Occupied France....
It goes without saying that this is a masterpiece.

Everyone who is a film enthusiast knows who Quentin Tarantino is. In the nineties his movies became instant cult classics to such a degree that (most likely) a 100 years from now everyone will still see him as one of the best director that ever came out of Hollywood.

Inglourious Basterds is a WWII movie. But it is nothing like any WWII movie you have ever seen. Quentin Tarantino gave the story and history its own twist. There are too many historical inaccuracies to count, but who cares? Quentin Tarantino obviously didn't and created a movie filled with dark humor, an amazing intelligent script, as always very good music and some of the most talented actors currently in the business.

WWII was one of the most horrific and devastating events in human history. But Tarantino together with Brad Pitt, a phenomenal (before this movie unknown) Christoph Waltz and Mélanie Laurent make it into an movie that makes you laugh, cry and keep you in suspense until the last second.

On my list of best WWII movies this one is rightfully in my top 3. At the end Lt. Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt) proclaims: "This might be my best work yet" there are two ways you can implement that, the first one off course is that he is talking about the swastika he just "carved" into Col. Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz) his forehead and the second one is that Quentin Tarantino is talking through Brad Pitt and says that this is his best movie till date. For me it will always be Pulp Fiction, but this one comes pretty close.
