Inglorious Basterds {2009}

Quentin Tarantino’s enormously satisfying alternate history of World War II. Brad Pitt stars as the Tennessee-born leader of an allied commando unit (“We’re in the Nazi-killin’ business. And cousin, business is a-boomin!”) Christoph Waltz won an Oscar for his performance as a wicked (and wickedly funny) opportunistic S. S. Colonel (“So, gentlemen, let’s discuss the prospect of ending the war tonight”) Rated R
