Have to include INGLORIOUS BASTERDS ...
The steadily increasing tension between the farmer, harboring Jews under his floor, and the Nazi "Jew Hunter" is almost unbearable ...
As the SS officer makes veiled references to his daughters and "fresh milk" ... and the farmer breaks down and reveals the location of the people he is protecting.
And incredible scene, which like to many of Tarantino's, reaches and unbearable pitch before and explosive resolution ...
Like the scene with Clarance and Drexel in TRUE ROMANCE ...
And the party in the basement bar, also in INGLORIOUS BASTERDS ...
And the Hollywood Diner scene from Pulp Fiction.
Whatever one may think of Taratino's work overall, he has to be given credit as one of the great scene architects in film history.
