Few moments in cinema history are as terrifying as Colonel Hans Landa’s arrival at Monsieur Perrier LaPadite’s farm in Inglourious Basterds. Who could ever forget his monologue about rats or the pastiche scene plucked out of John Ford’s The Searchers, where Landa simply stares at one of his targets as she runs into the wilderness? The Quentin Tarantino movie proved to the world that Christoph Waltz could act better than many Hollywood stars and, since then, he has never slowed down.
