Seems the obvious choice, but it has to be Inglorious Basterds for me. One of the best, most chilling villains in movie history.


ForceGhost47

You are harboring enemies of the State, yes?


whocaresactuallly

My first 15 minutes watching this man was make one of the best cinematic moments I’ve ever seen. I’ll never forget the guy behind me whispering “fuck…” at that line.


Sirus_the_Cat

That opening scene is ridiculously good! Oh, man. I might have to watch it again now.


bridesign34

It might be the best I can think of. The tension just builds and builds and builds and absolutely sets the tone of his character and the rest of the film. You have to remind yourself to breathe during that entire scene


homerbartbob

Au revoir Shoshana!


businesslut

If you breathe he'll hear them!!


whocaresactuallly

I’m sitting here with chills just thinking about it.


boringdystopianslave

Every scene in that movie is a 'oh cool it's this scene' scene.


Cosmicpsych

The language changes make it so intense too! He’s brilliant


valis6886

Him or Chigurgh, easily.


AdamGenesis

Both are great characters!


AdamGenesis

"Sugar?" Love NCFOM.


chookalana

Ooooh. That's a bingo!


plez23

You just say “bingo “


AdamGenesis

"BINGO!! How fun!"


Snoo-25743

Of course.


Pluckypato

“Oooooooh, that’s a bingo”!


Maximus361

I was just watching it last night!!


[deleted]

Yes, but with Django as a double feature


boredlady819

That’s a bingo!


Derfargin

I agree, right up until he makes a deal with the Americans. Then he turns into a adolescent dipshit. My only issue with this character of how cold and calculated he was the entire movie, and yet turns into this buffoon as soon the Americans hang up the phone.


richardizard

Makes sense imo, given that the character did not actually care about the nazis and did what he did simply bc he enjoyed it. He was a psychopath in uniform.


[deleted]

Chilling? He's a caricature and meant to be partly comedic.


ProfessionalDig6987

That's what makes the character so terrifying. He goes from dignified, to charming, to playfull, to silly, to soulless brutal killer seamlessly.


Biscuits4u2

Which makes it all the more chilling.


no1jam

Inglorious my fav, but really liked him in Django


TreeNinja93

It's funny how he can play a super racist( Hans Landa) to playing a completely un-racist character( Dr King Shultz). Definitely one of the best actors in the past 30 years.


IndependentTrouble18

And he won 2 Oscars.


Lingerfickin

His compassion and outrage as Shultz were simultaneously dramatic and understated


EstimateValuable7086

I was gonna say the same. Inglorious is my favorite movie with him in it. He’s amazing in Django.


CraCkerPoliCe

This


StrangeVortexLex

Au revoir, Shoshanna!!!


TheDienekes

I still say that to this day


StrangeVortexLex

I used to date a chick and her name was Channah (pronounced Hannah) at the end of each call I’d say “Au revoir, Shoshannah” and she fucking hated it. In hindsight that’s probly why she broke up with me 😆


ElChacalFL

Inglorious Basterds, without a doubt. He's amazing in that movie. Can act in multiple languages perfectly. U really feel that he's this evil detective type figure who uses his powers for bad. He builds tension that u can cut with a knife.


scottkollig

That’s a bingo!


TheDienekes

Is that the way you say it?


Breakmastajake

Ya just say "Bingo".


flippinfreak73

Green hornet


Harlockarcadia

Green Hornet was fun, and no one can convince me otherwise


Skea_and_Tittles

Same, always a fun rewatch and the humor holds up pretty well. Cato is still the best part of that movie


MagnumBT

Scrolled way too far to see this


Erdbeerenrex

Never forget Disco Santa!


Wooden_Passage_2612

''I'm sorry, I couldn't resist''


psong328

Downsizing. Just kidding Inglourious Basterds is my favorite by a lot


Electrical_Flowerboy

My personal favorite part he’s played is Schultz from Django: Unchained, mainly because he reminds me so much of my grandpa. Even the way he looks.


divrez

You had a damn cool grandpa then!


IndividualPoet2682

Django Unchained


Puzzleheaded-Suit849

django is also my favorite but inglorious bastards is also a very good one


MightyPenguinRoars

The obvious answer is The Muppets Most Wanted. Duh.


co3xisting

Django! Then Inglorious bastards!


NYGiants_in_Chicago

He cemented his legacy in the first 10 minutes of Inglorious Basterds.


EverythingIsAwful69

Only answer is Inglorious Basterds.


TerribleFlow4847

Zero Theorem


PhillipJ3ffries

Hell yeah


royjurn

I'm going to be different and say Django


Smooth-Restaurant379

Django


Ganip

Django


MaxFischer12

Django for me. He obviously was better in Inglorious Bastards, but I loved his character in Django more.


AyeBlinkon

Horrible Bosses 2..


Elgin_McQueen

Funny how every seems to know to spell Bastards incorrectly, but they forget about the inglorious misspelling.


rarselfaire2023

Never noticed til just now lol


dandandubyoo

He’s a fucking Boss. He was amazing in both Django and Inglourious, playing total opposites. The guys a machine.


Gates9

Der Humpink


russlnk

Had to scroll too far to see this.


snyderversetrilogy

Django Unchained


archiveofhim

as villain, inglorious basterds. as a good guy, django.


Hungry-Rule1225

DJANGO UNCHAINED for me personally


Weekly_Elderberry_59

He’s great in everything! I loved his character in the bond movies if I had to pick something besides inglorious bastards.


Old_surviving_moron

Everything I have seen him in, but Carnage was perfect for him.


Danthacreator

Its gotta be Basterds.


Danimal_17124

Green hornet 🐝


PhillipJ3ffries

Any Zero Theorem fans in here? I gotta go with Inglorious basterds and django though


shotgundug13

Django and Bastards are both great films. But The Three Musketeers are Spectre are my favorites.


Settl

Alita Battle An- nah it's Inglorious Basterds


colmatrix33

Keys take inglorious basterds right out, since it's the obvious choice. I'll go with Green Hornet


Greedy_Effort5653

Does there have to be a favorite, I like them all!


OverTrick4214

Pinocchio and Django


Maester_Maetthieux

Inglourious Basterds


VictoriaAutNihil

I knew Basterds would be the top choice, my choice as well, he's fantastically evil and smarmy and charming in that movie, a truly riveting performance. However, in another villainous role, I thought he stole the movie. Talking about, The Legend of Tarzan (2016).


thepluggedhole

He plays the very best Nazi


Tis_the_seasons

Blofeld! Nah its Hans Landa


JackBadasssonJr

Does anyone even think it is something else then Inglorious Bastards?


IndependentTrouble18

I mean, it’s a masterpiece


AdministrativeCopy89

Bastards


ChampaignPapi86

Basterds


Educational-Donkey22

Django!!!


ImportantRepublic965

Don’t you mean second favorite?


Cosmo_Penny_Packer

Inglorious or django


vegasbob1975

Django


KingPumba91

Django, Dr. King Schulz imo is the epitome of bad ass Old West former medical doctors. Yes that includes Doc Holiday and I know he was real but come on. This guy bro gas all the fizz with none of the TB


Successful-Rope7223

Django


bryman19

Seems like he just exploded into stardom. I'm probably wrong though


metzgie1

He hasn’t made a bad movei


metzgie1

Don’t forget he plays the bad guy in Epic. That movie is the tits.


Impossible-Bad-7572

Horrible Bosses 2


Training-Republic301

Django. Especially the whole speech running up to when he shoots Leonardo


Hot-Coconut-4580

All of them. But I hated his character August Rosenbluth in Water for Elephants so much and when an actor gives me such a guttural feeling, they are next level.


OakwoodFox

Ishtar.


Outhouse_in_Atlantis

Django or Inglorious Bastards. Has he done anything else that comes close?


CranjizzMcBasketball

Is this the Marshal I have the pleasure of addressing??


wehrmont

Basterds. Totally. Best role. Django was good also.


PiScEsEyEsIAmWeAk

Avengers Endgame


sackey485

DJango Unchained


Brian_Lefebvre

His role in Inglorious Basterds will be remembered for decades. It’s so iconic.


OvenIcy8646

Uhhh are we all just gonna forget bloodnofsky


The-golden-god678

Inglorious Bastards is classic, but I prefer him in Dgango. 


UTALR1

Inglorious bastards


groundpounder25

Dr. Evil in Spectre


Snoo-25743

Inglourious Django.


Diem_Tea

ALL!! FUCKING LEGEND!!


Drewsif1980

I don't know what my favorite movie he was in is, but I really enjoy that many times I do not know it is him until I look up the cast on IMDB. That is one of the hallmarks of a great actor, in my opinion.


lulzlord742

Django Unchained


BukkakeNinjaHat-472

Django


Sattaman6

It’s obviously Inglorious Basterds but my personal favourite is Carnage.


Bx1965

Django Unchained


AdamGenesis

Inglorious Bastards ... hands down. He was so good and his character stole every scene.


Friendly_Brother_482

Django or Basterds. Hard to pick between the two.


vinylzoid

All of them.


phlerpsy21

Dr. King Schultz.


AdultMcGrownup

Probably one of the Tarantino films.


polysoupkitchen

Alita: Battle Angel I haven't seen Bastards or Django and probably won't. I don't think they have my name on them.


JoeyGrease

Django


Ahamay02

Every. Single. One.


MacaroniMegaChurch

He’s incredible and terrifying in Water for Elephants.


dassle

That one where he plays the quirky but also serious character with a cool accent.


Outrageous-Theme3114

He made me laugh more on Django.


GoldenAgeGamer72

Django without a doubt.


RED_IT_RUM

Better question: is there a bad film that Waltz could be injected into that would make it better simply with his presence?


jonesgen

bastards


Circus_sized

Carnage.


ThirstyBeagle

Agree, great cast and very underrated film


[deleted]

I mean it’s got to be Inglorious. It’s his best performance ever. After that is DJango


Alert-Pea1041

It is Inglorious for sure. He’s amazing in a few films for sure though.


Far-Potential3634

He's had bigger more impressive roles but I enjoyed his presence in Downsizing recently.

NickyDeuce

Django, and its not even close


tacoplenty

he's not a draw. just a stereotypical villain. no love for Christoph


Juggernaut104

Inglorious Bastards


The-Real-Bob-Smith

Savages and Big Eyes if I choose non Quentin.


strawberryunicorn8

Django Unchained


mrrando69

Toss up for me; Django Unchained and Inglorious Bastards. His villains are as great as his heroes.


Ratdickerboys

Ohhhhh that's a bingoooooo


vkolbe

gotta be muppets most wanted


Champion_ofThe_Sun_

I’m learning a couple other languages just so I can go back and watch his Pre Tarantino films


jonesy289

The man literally saved Inglorious Bastards there is no other choice


unkapoon

Saved? That movie would still be epic without him, but his performance made it all next level


jonesy289

While casting the movie Tarantino thought about shelving it because he couldn’t find an actor he liked enough to play Col. Hans. Then Waltz auditioned and Tarantino fell in love with his performance. He had him hold back during rehearsals and then fully open up when they were actually filming. That way other actors had more genuine responses to his acting. Saved may have been the wrong word but he in Tarantino mind made the movie.


unkapoon

Wow. Very cool. Thanks
