The Beast. Although technically about German tankers and not necessarily Nazis, it’s a damned good flick.

Maybe not the greatest, but the recent “Valkyrie” was actually pretty good in terms of depicting the “anti-Hitler” Nazis.

Not sure if WWI Germans would count, but if so there’s “King of Hearts”

[Fantasy Mission Force](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079509/)

It’s billed as a Jackie Chan movie, but really, he’s not the main character. That shouldn’t stop you from seeing this great movie, though. Really, it’s great. Oh, and the Nazis in this movie drive 70’s muscle cars.

I think your getting your staple movie villains confused. The Beast was about communist Russians in Afghanistan.

Are you thinking about [this movie?](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094716/) If so, it’s about Russian tankers in Afghanistan.

Um, alcohol, meditation, self hypnosis–but mostly denial.

Although not to the same degree as **Valkyrie** , [The Night of the Generals](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0062038/) also touches on the Von Stauffenberg Plot.

Two movies starring James Mason as Rommel: [The Desert Fox](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0043461/) and [The Desert Rats](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0045679/).

(Oops, I see **The Desert Fox** has already been mentioned.)

I don’t think anyone’s mentioned **The Dirty Dozen** yet.

If you’re including **The Dambusters** then you must include **633 Squadron**.

And although it was made for TV, I would also suggest **Fatherland**

Also from TV _Escape From Sobibor._

I know it was mentioned earlier but Lissener left this off of his list. _Stalag 17_ had one of the best movie Nazi moments when Otto Preminger put on his boots to talk to the general on the phone. Great scene. It also needs to be included as a counter to Hogan’s Heroes. In both Stalag 17 and HH SGT Schultz says the line “I know nothing”. In Stalag 17 it is evil, in Hogan’s Heroes he is a buffoon.

_Europa, Europa_  
_The Tin Drum_  
_They Saved Hitler’s Brain_  
_A Midnight Clear_ (although now that I think about it they may have even pointed out that they weren’t Nazis)

I thought _Bloodrayne_ fought Nazis but I neither know nor want to find out if it’s in the movie.
