Before Inglourious Basterds bids adieu to Netflix on June 15th, so do yourself a favor and hit play before you miss it. Directed by Quentin Tarantino, this 2009 war film is anything but conventional. Set during World War II, the movie follows two parallel plots – one led by a fierce Jewish-American soldier (Brad Pitt) and his crew on a Nazi-killing spree, and the other by a French cinema owner (Mélanie Laurent) with a personal vendetta. With Christoph Waltz delivering a bone-chilling performance as Colonel Hans Landa, this isn’t your average war movie, it’s violent, stylish, and weirdly hilarious.

If you’re still on the fence, here are four fun reasons to watch it before it vanishes:

Brad Pitt’s Southern Drawl is Peak Tarantino Absurdity
Lieutenant Aldo Raine’s “We’re in the Nazi-killin’ business, and cousin, business is a-boomin’” sets the tone. Pitt plays it campy, gruff, and totally over-the-top, and it works.Christoph Waltz Deserved That Oscar
Hans Landa is one of cinema’s most charmingly terrifying villains. Waltz makes sipping milk feel menacing. If you’ve never seen his legendary opening scene – you’re in for a ride.A Spaghetti Western in a War Movie’s Body
Tarantino flips the genre on its head with his signature flair, long dialogues, unexpected humor, and stylish violence set to Ennio Morricone-inspired music. It’s a war movie made for people who hate war movies.The Ending is Wild, and You Won’t See It Coming
Let’s just say, history gets…revised. Drastically. And it’s incredibly satisfying.

So, grab some popcorn and carve out two and a half hours – Inglourious Basterds is leaving Netflix soon, and it’s one hell of a ride you don’t want to miss. But if you must know, it’s also on Prime Video!
