Songs that feel like Inglourious Basterds (2009)
A gleeful, tense revenge fable where pulpy bloodlust, slow-burn dread and cinematic myth-making collide in a rewritten history.
- Cat People (Putting Out Fire) by David Bowie: Pulsing, dramatic menace that fuels Shosanna's fiery cinema-set revenge.
- Un amico by Ennio Morricone: Lyrical, bittersweet Morricone grandeur that brings mythic weight to the tale.
- Ballad of a Thin Man by Bob Dylan: Sardonic, menacing piano and a mocking tone echo Landa's polite cruelty.
- Davon Geht Die Welt Nicht Unter by Zarah Leander: Period German cabaret defiance with an ironic edge that suits the Reich's glossy veneer.
- Surf Rider by The Lively Ones: Twangy reverb guitar gives a pulpy, grindhouse swagger to the Basterds' mischief.
- Ballad of Hollis Brown by Bob Dylan: Bleak, fatalistic storytelling captures the film's darkness underneath the humor.
- Rabbia e tarantella by Ennio Morricone: Wild, chaotic frenzy for the film's explosive, gleefully violent set pieces.
- Slaughter by Billy Preston: Funky 70s grindhouse bravado that fits the movie's brash, blood-soaked attitude.
