Ranking Every Quentin Tarantino Movie Soundtrack Worst To Best
8. Inglourious Basterds
The soundtrack for Tarantino’s other period movie, Inglourious Basterds is perfectly fine, just nothing extraordinary.
Some of the biggest stand-out pieces from the soundtrack includes “The Surrender” and “Algiers November 1, 1954” (the music used in the prison break-out scene), both of which were of course composed by the brilliant Ennio Morricone.
There are some other great pop songs, including “Slaughter” by Billy Preston and “The Devil’s Rumble” by Mike Curb & The Arrows, but the real highlight is the use of David Bowie’s “Cat People”. One of the most underrated songs in Bowie’s back catalogue, Tarantino should get all the credit for reintroducing a generation to this classic.
Other than that, however, the soundtrack is just a little disappointing. A lot like Django Unchained, the soundtrack just lacks a little bit of bite and edge, and just feels a little sub-par.
