Inglourious Basterds is officially about to leave its streaming home. The Quentin Tarantino dark comedy was released in 2009. The period film chronicled a group of Jewish U.S. soldiers who plot to assassinate a group of Nazi leaders. The film stars Brad Pitt in the lead role, with a supporting cast that includes Eli Roth, Christoph Waltz, and Diane Kruger.
Inglourious Basterds was well-regarded during the time of its release. It was nominated for several Oscars, and ended up winning Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role for Waltz. The movie has a Certified Fresh 89% Tomatometer with a Popcornmeter of 88%.
As per Netflix, Inglourious Basterds is leaving the streaming platform soon. The streamer shows the movie leaving November 30. This gives subscribers only a few short days to catch the film before it leaves Netflix.

The movie is also available to rent on Prime Video. It will likely remain so after the 30th, but simply will not have a streaming home unless another service picks it up.
Inglourious Basterds is an incredibly revered movie within the Tarantino oeuvre. The film is often cited as the director's best film of the 21st century, in close competition with Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood.
The movie was also incredibly important in Waltz's career. It led to his first Oscar nomination, which then became his first win. He would go on to win Best Supporting Actor again when he re-teamed with Tarantino for Django Unchained in 2012.
The film was also responsible for further establishing Pitt as an A-list actor who could meld well with an auteur director like Tarantino. Taking a similar path to Waltz, Pitt would go on to work with Tarantino again in 2019's Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood, which earned him an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.
As such, streaming audiences might miss Inglourious Basterds once it leaves Netflix. The film is likely to surge in popularity over the next few days as it enters the "leaving soon" categorization on the streaming site. Hopefully, this will mean that another streamer will see this and pick up the film.
In the meantime, the potential popularity surge of Inglourious Basterds will help audiences gear up for Tarantino's next project. This includes writing the script for the David Fincher-directed The Adventures of Cliff Booth, which delves into the backstory of Pitt's Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood character. Netflix audiences may miss Tarantino for now, but they have something coming down the pike.
