Quentin Tarantino’s darkly comedic war film, Inglourious Basterds, is set to leave Netflix on December 1, 2025. The director’s 2009 masterpiece reimagines World War II and follows a group of Jewish-American soldiers known as The Basterds, led by Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt), who set out to strike fear into the Nazi regime. The group soon crosses paths with a young French cinema owner, Shosanna Dreyfus (Mélanie Laurent), who is seeking revenge for her family’s brutal murder. The film was a critical and commercial success, with a global box office collection of $321.5 million.

Inglourious Basterds features a powerhouse ensemble cast that includes Christoph Waltz, Diane Kruger, Michael Fassbender, Eli Roth, Daniel Brühl, and Til Schweiger. Waltz’s incredible portrayal of the menacing yet charming Colonel Hans Landa earned him an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, as well as the Cannes Film Festival’s Best Actor Award. Overall, the film garnered eight Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director, and remains a defining chapter in Tarantino’s filmmaking career.

The war film joins Netflix’s growing list of departures in December. Other films leaving the platform in the upcoming month include Coming to America, Apollo 13, Wonka, and the entire Austin Powers trilogy. The streamer is also bidding farewell to popular TV shows, including How I Met Your Mother, Supernatural, and Animal Kingdom.

Quentin Tarantino Believes ‘Inglourious Basterds’ Is His Best Work

In a recent interview with The Church of Tarantino podcast, the director declared Inglourious Basterds as his best film. When asked about his work, Tarantino admitted that Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is his favorite, but that he considers the war comedy to be his “masterpiece.” Tarantino went on to add that he considers Kill Bill to be the “ultimate Quentin movie.” The director explained that the Uma Thurman starrer is so personal to him that he doesn’t believe anyone else could have made it.

The Pulp Fiction director then picked his favorite among his screenplays and confessed that Inglourious Basterds is his best script, with The Hateful Eight and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood following close behind. Tarantino elaborated on his opinion, noting that The Hateful Eight features some of his best direction. Tarantino also discussed passing on the opportunity to direct the upcoming Once Upon a Time in Hollywood sequel to David Fincher. The director shared that he did not want his 10th and final film to be a sequel, and that the idea of doing so left him feeling “unenthused.” He emphasized his desire to venture into “uncharted territory” with his final project and revealed that his long-rumored final film, The Movie Critic, was ultimately scrapped because it was too similar to his previous work.

Inglourious Basterds is available to stream on Netflix until the end of November. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
