I prefer Basterds. It is more rewatchable to me.

Both movies are quite overrated.
Tarantino hasn't made a good movie since Pulp Fiction.

I think Inglorious was a decent movie. Django, can’t remember much of it. Nowhere near Pulp Fiction though.

they're weirdly the same caliber.

Easily Inglourious Basterds, and it’s mostly due to Sally Menke’s perfect editing, which Fred Raskin hasn’t even come close to matching since replacing her. Chapters 1, 4 and 5 are Menke and Tarantino at their best. He even said he made the film because he watched There Will Be Blood and was so blown away by the experience that he wanted to step up his game and it shows.
Django felt like a mess due to the script rewrites and cutting a lot of footage. Even at 165 minutes it feels incomplete. I still enjoy it, but it’s arguably Tarantino’s worst film.

Anyone else not like the look of either film? Couldn't get past the feeling that everyone was wearing costumes in both films. Everything felt too clean or something. Nothing felt authentic to me.
To answer OPs question...I probably preferred Django but found both movies overrated.

Tarantino movies are like GTA games : different skins and characters but same assets and each iteration is a bit better. Some dialogues are well written and someone found some unknown (to the audience) radio hits to match the mood of the game/movie. They also always end the same way. Same glorification of violence and tiring edgy commentary on society. Enjoyable though.
Anyway, Basterds for me.

Bastards.
Brad Pitt makes the movie. Everything else is just butter on the top of that performance.

Pitt's southern accent is off and really distracts. As far as the movie is concerned, I do think it drags bit in relationship to the theater setup. I do think it has much stronger scenes (opening, bar) than Django. I love all of QT's stuff though.

I didn't really like Jackie Brown on my first viewing but it's my favorite of his films. It's easy to say Pulp Fiction is his best or your favorite film of his and you'd not be wrong, but Pam Grier and Robert Forster chewing every moment of every scene, yes please. I think that's my favorite thing about QT, he just let's the audience linger with these wonderful performances from his actors/actresses.
Speaking of Pulp, I'd love to see QT work with JT on another project to see if he can resurrect his career again. lol

Haven't seen either in full in a while but the parts I caught of Django again recently were really fun. I'd have to rewatch them both again from start to finish to say for sure, but that won't be for a while.
If you want to talk underrated QT films tho, it's easily between Death Proof, Jackie Brown and (even tho he didn't direct it) True Romance. I'd put True Romance above quite a few of Quentin's other films tbh, and I almost think part of that is due to Oliver Stone's directing style.

You mean Tony Scott? Oliver did Natural Born Killers. Dennis Hopper was great but I'm just not enough of a Christian Slater fan to truly love TR. It has one helluva cast though.

The highs of Inglorious Bastards are higher. But the lows are lower too. Basically most of the scenes with Brad Pitts crew are super cringy and sour the film for me.
Its not like I don't like Brad Pitt or anything. I like him in lots of stuff. But in Inglorious, his character as well as his crew are like 1 dimentional cartoon characters compared to the rest of the cast.
Django Unchained is more consistently in its cast and is a great film.

I loved both, it’s hard to put one over the other.

Basterds. They're both great but Inglorious Basterds is a really special Tarantino movie.
I'd also argue you could include The Hateful Eight as part of the "justice" era Tarantino. Or even include Hollywood as part of a rewriting history in vengeance trilogy.

I think the over the top cartoon characters and scenes are what make his movies so fun

It's been over ten years and I still dont get Inglorious Bastards. I hated the subplot with Roshana and that German soldier. I disliked how the Bastards were barely given anything to do until the end of the movie. The movie has three great fucking scenes. Like all time great scenes. But the rest was so boring it was like I was watching Jackie Brown.
Django on the other hand was incredible from start to finish. Funny, tense, wonderfully shot, great soundtrack, great action. It's far more rewatchable too.
The bastards wouldve been a much better movie if they showed them going around killing people at least for the first half. It's revenge porn without any revenge porn for the first two hours of the movie.

Django for me. It was thoroughly entertaining throughout. Also, a slave revenge flick was really cool to watch, as opposed to yet another Nazi film that was Basterds. That genre is crowded already. Also, Tarantino's embrace of the spaghetti western probably saw its peak with Django.

I can't vote but if I could ... it would be for Django mainly because of Christoph Waltz portray of Dr. King Schultz.
