One of the best Oscar-winning World War 2 films ever is now streaming on Netflix | Films | Entertainment




Back in 2009, Quentin Tarantino went back in time with his take on the World War 2 genre.

His Oscar-winning Inglorious Basterds focuses on a plot to assassinate the Nazi leadership at a Paris cinema during the German occupation.

Brad Pitt’s Lieutenant Aldo Raine leads a unit of Jewish American soldiers, teaming up with a French Jewish movie theatre proprietor seeking to avenge her father.

The tongue-in-cheek film, with its alternate history plot, was nominated for eight Oscars.

Christoph Waltz, who played the villainous SS Colonel Hans Landa, suddenly shot to fame for his performance, which won him the Best Supporting Actor Oscar the following year.

Critically acclaimed, the film made $321 million worldwide, which was Tarantino’s highest-grossing movie at that point, before being surpassed by 2012’s Django Unchained. In fact, Waltz once again won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role as Dr King Schultz in that revisionist Western.

Inglorious Basterds is now streaming on Netflix.
