Django Unchained (2012)

Quentin Tarantino does what “Lincoln” can’t — blow up the damn plantation himself. An emancipated Jamie Foxx brings the explosives in an (important) slavery revenge fantasy and spaghetti western, while Samuel Jackson is stunning as an Uncle Tom.

Inglourious Basterds (2009)

Quentin Tarantino’s World War II epic isn’t fact. It is pulp fiction — a viscerally satisfying tale of scalping, spies and Jewish revenge in four languages. Christoph Waltz (the Jew Hunter) is evil and charming and ironic in a powerful performance.

Not Quite Hollywood (2009)

Mark Hartley affectionately directs this documentary about the Australian exploitation films of the 1970s and 80s — full of sex, violence, gore, car chases and tales of Dennis Hopper. Quentin Tarantino steals the show with his enthusiasm for the genre.
