These are two of my favourite films actually. So this is a tough one. I think Eternal Sunshine nabs it because it is one of the few films that leaves me absolutely emotionally devastated. I don't like Kate Winslet or Jim Carrey much yet I love their performances in this film. I enjoyed Brazil, it's really unique but I didn't connect with it on the same level as Eternal Sunshine.

It's been a long while. I figure most of you have probably had the chance to check out Quentin Tarantino's latest now that it has hit home media. So, this time the theme is: "Quentin Tarantino Historical Revenge Epics (that feature Christoph Waltz in a supporting role)"
Quentin Tarantino's INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS (2009)
 vs. Quentin Tarantino's DJANGO UNCHAINED (2012)  |

Basterds is vastly superior in my opinion. The script, acting, action, and just flat out amazing-ness of that film sh*ts on Django. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed Django up until the last half hour which I thought was pure masturbation but Basterds has one of the best opening sequences in film and is filled with dialogue that rivals Pulp Fiction in my honest opinion. You also have a great albeit tragic love story thrown in there and I am a sucker for movies that have scenes of a projection booth given my work history. Waltz was at his best as Landa and I thought that he won his second Oscar for playing a nice version of a role he already won and Oscar for. Leo wins for best supporting actor not named Waltz as Pitt and Foxx were honestly just forgettable. Also, Basterds introduced me to my man crush that is Michael Fassbender.
Not even close. Basterds wins. |

I also vote Inglourious Basterds. I don't find it vastly superior but I like the violence more. And the nitrate film-on-fire scene is classic and educational.

Django- zip I think Exo nailed my description as well. I would go as far as to say the last 45 minutes of Django is Tarantino wasting time. I wasn't a big fan of Django honestly but Inglorious certainly had some engrossing characters and a well developed plot line. I think Tarantino has lost a bit of his touch personally, but his movies continue to sell very well and seem to draw people in from all ages. That is a gift in itself to be able to crossover from teenagers to grandfathers and connect with an audience. Good to see the thread back also. I always enjoy hearing other points of view and occassionally there are some fantastic battles. |

Basterds - 5
Django - 0 Exo really put it down right, and honestly I probably would have liked Django Unchained if it had ended with the firefight in the mansion instead of that 30 minutes addendum that really seemed to exist for no other reason than because it could. |
