I watched Inglourious Basterds last night and, as with other Tarantino movies I have seen, loved the songs as much as the movie itself. There is a certain quality to Tarantino songs – off-beat, melodic, dark, retro – that sounds amazing in the movies but also make for great listening by themselves.
My original plan was to put together a Tarantino playlist but a bunch of people have already beaten me to it, so let me just point to them:

Happy listening!
Taps,
Completely agree. I loved the soundtrack of Kill Bill in particular! I dont know what you felt, but I loved the movie Inglorious Basterds. Twisted sense of humor and wicked, wicked characters!
Ojas…
You’re right Kill Bill (that too Vol 1) is probably the best musically. But I have a bias for Pulp Fiction songs simply because it is my favorite Tarantino movie.
About Inglourious – Great fun! I was squirming and laughing out loud at the same time in the scene in which Brad Pitt’s character and the other two Basterds struggle to respond in Mafia movie lingo when Hans Landa starts talking in fluent Italian.
