The best _line_ about Nazis was in _ **Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade** _: “Nazis. I hate these guys.” ---

**Zombie Lake** gives you your zombies and Nazis. Although how a Nazi zombie (before he was zombiefied) managed to have an 8 year old daughter in the 70’s is never explained. ---

My current favorite movie Nazi is Paul Scofield’s Colonel Waldheim in John Frankenheimer’s \*\*The Train \*\*(1964). A man of culture, education, and deep artistic feeling, and an utter scumbag nonetheless. Burt Lancaster is really really good in it, too. I kinda like the 1999 **Gloomy Sunday** , too, but not for the Nazis. Aside from the Number One Nazi’s affection for Hungarian cooking, they’re a bunch of crappy cliches. And I agree with **lissener** that \*\*Swing Kids \*\*is an utter atrocity. ---

The TV miniseries **Holocaust** **Mephisto** – Klaus Maria Brandauer plays a German stage actor who over the course of the war becomes increasingly morally compromised, and distanced from his former bohemian friends, to further his career. \*\*The Longest Day \*\*-- for the German POV scenes, like those with Curt Jurgens (who in real life spent much or all of the war in a German concentration camp for politically unreliable Germans). \*\*Au Revoir, Les Enfants \*\*-- based on Louis Malle’s childhood friendship with a doomed Jewish boy. Not all Nazis were German; they had lots of willing collaborators. \*\*Der Weisse Blume/The White Rose \*\*-- the first movie version of the “White Rose” student activists; very good, if very different from the _Sophie Scholl_ film from a few years ago. And on a much, _much_ lighter note – \*\*A View to a Kill \*\*-- James Bond vs. Nazi eugenics program product Zorin [Christopher Walken], who’s still companioned by his Nazi mad scientist creator. ---

Victory, with Michael Caine, Stallone, and Pele. Man, looking back, the 80s were so weird. I was going to say Top Secret, but I think that’s actually Cold War East Germans. Remains of the Day. ---
