Inglourious Basterds

Pulp Fiction

Tarantino's classic, essentially a film that's not about anything edited in a non-linear way. John Travolta & Samuel L Jackson kick ass though.

Kill Bill - Vol. 2

Less blood thirsty and violent than the first, thus losing the visceral brilliance of part 1. David Carradine is magnificent as Bill mind.
