I rewatched this a couple of weeks ago, and loved it the second time.  I think falling asleep/not being in the mood to see it took a lot away the first time.  Waltz, Pitt, LaPadite, and the likeable-evil sniping Nazi were stupidly good.  I absolutely loved watching LaPadite crumble under Landa's undeniable charm, and I loved how they explained why they were switching to English.

All the scenes that have already been mentioned were intense and terrific.  But how great was the scene when he's asking Diane Kruger's boobs how they broke her leg?  And when he whips out the perfect Italian to Pitt and company?  Brilliant.

This film was every type of excellent.

What about that time when Kerm and Jon ruined the opening scene for people who hadn't seen it by acting the whole thing out at TDubbs place?

I tried to pretend I had no idea what was going on and that I was watching something different.  Consequently, I was quite surprised to find out Hans Landa was not the captain of the Millennium Falcon.  And all the Jew murdering was a bit of a shock.

Just saw this movie on Monday and generally agree with the consensus here.

Not QT's best, but the opening scene and the scene in the downstairs bar are both textbook examples of flawless filmmaking.  The way Tarantino builds the tension in each of these scenes is mastery of the highest order.

And this Christoph Waltz dude deserves and Oscar nomination.  The man devoured every scene he was in.

This.

Also, THIS.

I just watched it the other day, and while I enjoyed most every scene with Waltz and/or Pitt, I found myself not really caring about most of the other scenes, with the exception of the bar.

The scene in the cafe with the cream and the strudel and hot chick and Goebbels?  Nothing?  Really?

As it had Waltz, then this scene was terrific also.  Him  ordering Shoshana a glass of milk was dreadfully terrifying, considering that his reputaion for supposedly sniffing out Jews would make you wonder if he knew who she was.

It just wasn't as perfect as the two aforementioned scenes.

Everyone knows that Jews are lactose intolerant, so if she farted she is a duck.
If I had known that I was going to live this long I would have taken better care of myself.   (Plagerized from numerous other folks)

To be fair, Kerm ruined more of it than I did.*

You're in luck then, GEORGE HUTCHINS is about to get that whole case thrown out.

I think Quentin ruined it by putting it in the first fifteen minutes of the movie.  I mean, COME ON!

It was too long.  I was bored.  Needed more Paul Walker.
Can you help me live a little more?  I expect good news.

Late to the party, but finally saw this last night.  Great flick.
