Posted on August 21, 2009

Apparently Brad Pitt thinks Inglourious Basterds is the best war movie, and considers Tom Cruise’s Nazi movie Valkyrie ” ridiculous”. Read more on what Pitt had to say below.

The German press asked Bra Pitt what he thought about Tom Cruise’s movie Valkyrie, and Pitt replied, “It was a ridiculous movie.”

Pitt find the Quentin Tarantino-directed movie, Inglorious Basterds, is the best of the World War II movies.

“The second World War could still deliver more stories and films, but I believe that Quentin put a cover on that pot. With Basterds, everything than can be said to this genre has been said,” Pitt tells the German magazine Stern. “The film destroys every symbol. The work is done, end of story.”

In the interview, Brad Pitt reveals that the movie Saturday Night Fever inspired him as a kid.

“When I was a teenager, I saw Saturday Night Fever at our drive-in, but it wasn’t the dancing that electrified me. It was the life and culture in Brooklyn. I’m from Missouri, the southern part of the Midwest in the U.S., and I never heard families talk that way to each other,” he says. “From that point on, I wanted out to see more of the country and of life.”
