As I have said many times, Inglourious Basterds is the greatest work that Tarantino has ever done, channeling all of his output in response to the disaster that was Death Proof.

In comparison, both Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction come off as empty genre exercises. Inglorious Basterds has something to say about the depiction of violence and how we live our lives, and Tarantino correctly changes Hitler's death into an alternative that is much more satisfying.
