#4 Inglourious Basterds
Stealing the dread that hangs over every Holocaust movie, Tarantino leads the viewer through evilly well crafted scenes crushed with dread and only relieved with light humor. Leading us down this pit of despair, he then delivers a historical revenge fantasy to relieve the appalling dread that hangs over the whole even. Perhaps its immoral, its certainly meaningless. But it's extremely well crafted and acted. Waltz was rightly catapulted from obscurity but there are so many other worthy performances, Pitt, Fassbender, Burkhard, Diehl.
