Ask Lemmy

tossup between Inglourious Basterds and Fury.

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.

SISU

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

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

Inglourious Basterds, no contest. Second is the Dirty Dozen.

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.

Kung Fury, short, insanely over the top, leans into satirizing the 80s steroid-action movie machismo, just plain fun movie.

It's a spoof, but the nazi killing goes hard: Kelly's Heros

V for vendetta.

Antagonists are not explicitly Nazis, just racist and homophobic authoritarians preaching religous hate against immigrants.

IRON SKY

Nazis from the dark side of the moon return to Earth in flying saucers to finish the Third Reich.

It is glorious

I'm shocked that no one has mentioned the Rocketeer.

It's a cult movie about an out-of-work pilot and his mechanic who find a jetpack. They want to use it to try and fly more airshows and get out of debt. But the mob wants it back because they stole it for a Hollywood movie star, who's secretly a Nazi spy. And the FBI wants it because they want it back to keep it out of the hands of the Nazis. Meanwhile, the dude is just trying his best to survive, and accidentally ends up being a superhero.

It's such a great movie, if you liked Indiana Jones, you'll like the Rocketeer.

Inglorious Basterds would be up there for sure.

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.

I see nobody mentioned Sisu here.

It's an absolute banger about a Finnish badass that finds gold in Nazi occupied Finland.

Indiana Jones

The Ministry of ungentlemanly warfare

SAS rogue heros

Are a couple more.

If you like Inglorious Bastards, you'll probably like The Ministry Of Ungentlemanly Warfare

Blues Brothers. Not sure if any of them DIE, directly, but I've got a feeling not all of them survived off-screen.

Jojo Rabbit!

• Saving Private Ryan
• Fury
• The Big Red One
• Force Ten From Navarone (it is a sequel to The Guns of Navarone, which is also great)
• The Dirty Dozen
• Patton
• Memphis Belle
• Victory (While no Nazi’s are killed in the movie watching them get humiliated is nice) It is sometimes called “Escape to Victory”.

There's a terrible movie about a ww2 squad that finds an ancient artefact which transports the to the future where the world is dominated by giant, nazi, alien spiders. Helmets and everything. It goes right through terrible and out the other side. I feel like it would be a good choice. Can't remember what it's called tho, I was very hi at the time.
