I Liked This Guy's Movie Analyses
My daughter sent me links to this YouTube channel discussing the mechanics of movie screenplays. Below is an analysis of how Tarantino makes a couple of long, incredibly suspenseful scenes in Inglorious Basterds (the first scene in the farmhouse and the later scene in the basement bar).
Update: If you want a comparison, go see Dunkirk. This is a good movie in its way, and I really enjoy Nolan's movies. But there are several spots where he is clearly trying to build suspense and he does not do it as well as Tarantino. One movie that might compare to Tarantino on stress might be the last 15 minutes of Argo, though I have not seen it for a while.
ErikTheRed:
One of the great movie scenes of all time.
