Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds has taken the top prize at this year's Shockwaves NME Awards.
The movie was named the best film of 2009, ahead of In the Loop, the Twilight Saga: New Moon, 500 Days Of Summer and Where the Wild Things Are.
Starring Brad Pitt and Christoph Waltz, the film tells the story of a group of Jewish-American soldiers known as "The Basterds" who are chosen specifically to spread fear throughout the Third Reich by scalping and brutally killing Nazis.
Inglourious Basterds is also up for eight Oscars, including the best picture, best writing, best supporting actor and best director awards.~ LoveFilm
Last year, the London Film Critics' Circle awarded Tarantino with the Dilys Powell gong for excellence in cinema.
Jason Solomons, chairman of the circle's committee, said: "He is currently the most passionate and exciting director in America, always engaged with the future and the history of cinema, his life blood. His award is for daring to keep cinema fresh and vital as an art form."
Inglorious Basterds is now also available in Blu-Ray format on the movies4africa website.
