Five Films That Inspired 'Inglourious Basterds'

Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds" is here, and you know what that means -- tons of obscure film-geek references. Even the title itself is a play on a 1981 war film, the properly spelled Italian actioner "The Inglorious Bastards."

We noticed this pastiche of influences includes everything from sadistic Nazi beauties to Clint Eastwood comedies. So, like any good group of fan boys, we put together a guide to the films Tarantino stole, er, borrowed from for his latest action epic. You might just find a hidden gem. (And impress your pretentious film-geek friends.)

    • Quentin Tarantino's movies are inspired by other movies. So what? Every director to come along in the last 50 years is inspired by early movies. Tarantino just gets more flack for it.
