The world/US is terrible rn. I wanted a comfort movie where I get to watch Nazis be killed. So I’m watching Inglorious Bastards now.
What’s your favorite killing Nazis movie?
Inglourious Basterds, no contest. Second is the Dirty Dozen.
Kung Fury, short, insanely over the top, leans into satirizing the 80s steroid-action movie machismo, just plain fun movie.
Hence the laser raptors…
I thought those went extinct thousands of years ago.
indiana jones, the one with sean connery.
because in that movie, they are not a threat, but something like shit sticking to your shoe. Disgusting, annoying, and just a general pain to get rid of.
It’s a spoof, but the nazi killing goes hard: Kelly’s Heros
At first, the history nerd in me went “What? This is historically inaccurate!” But upon repeat multiples viewings, because my country’s national TV constantly re-runs Kelly’s Heroes, I now find it as one of the most fun war movies I have ever watched!
Oddball was just ahead of his time loll
It’s not Nazis, it’s a about a massive phishing conspiracy, but The Beekeeper is about Jason Statham slaughtering his way through it, and it’s sooooo fucking satisfying.
Gotta protect the hive. Lol I’ve seen it before. It was enjoyable
Fury
SISU
Here are some of my favorites. I’m an older guy so the films may be a bit dated.
The Longest Day - the quintessential D-Day movie starring everyone that was anyone.
The Devil’s Brigade - a film that, in this era of tension between Canada and the USA, shows how we used to stand, fight, and die with each other.
Sink The Bismarck - thrilling sea story about the hunt for the famous Kriegsmarine battleship by the Royal Navy. Only issue is that it characterizes the German Admiral, Gunter Lutjens, as a fervent Nazi. He was actually one of the few officers that didn’t give Hitler the Nazi salute.
Enemy at the Gates - about Vasili Zaitsev, one of the Soviet Union’s top snipers who participated in the battle of Stalingrad. While the romance plot is one hundred percent tacked on unnecessarily, it truly captures the brutality and ruin of urban combat. Also has Ron Pearlman, so goddamn brilliance right there.
No Inglorious Bastards? Interesting.
Was already mentioned a few times so I decided to skip it.
I don’t see any comment yet about Overlord so I will mention Overlord. It’s a movie that flew under the radar and is a cult classic for a good reason. Do not read anything about the movie before watching it so that you won’t get any clues about the twists and turns. Unless you know quite a bit of WWII history then you could kinda see where the twist would go. But the twists themselves have their own twist!
Any of the Indiana Jones films
Ilsa: She-Wolf of the SS
tossup between Inglourious Basterds and Fury.
Ok, I’m going to suggest a strange one for this.
A Bridge Too Far
Strange, because the allies get their asses handed to them. However, I like it for the line spoken to a German soldier sent under a flag of truce to discuss surrender with the outnumbered and surrounded British forces.
Major Harry Carlyle: “We haven’t the proper facilities to take you all prisoner! Sorry! We’d like to, but we can’t accept your surrender!”
I like the confused look on the German’s face.
The Longest Day
Also wanted to suggest this one. It’s not inglorious basterds but it’s good.
