How much Naziing does there have to be in the movie? There’s a Nazi in Peter Jackson’s **Dead Alive** - the vet who sells Lionel the tranquilizer. At one point the sleeve of his lab coat rips open and you see a swastika armband beneath.

You call those Nazi zombies? [These](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1278340/) are [Nazi zombies](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-KQh87_V2Q&hl=un). 😃

“Ein! Zwei! Die!” Best tagline ever. And being a Norwegian movie there are good chances for some nudity as well. 😉

Not unaware of this movie, but I’d guess we’re a year away from a US DVD release.

ETA: And while I have NO doubt that this will be an awesome movie, _[Outpost\*](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEI-v5pdivA)_ is pretty dang [swell\*](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-M0xFcDSEMM&feature=related), and currently available. Plus it stars the friggin Punisher!

What about [Train de vie](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0170705/)? Just make sure that people don’t confuse it with #28 on your list.

Chaplin’s _The Great Dictator_ features esatz nazis. Or would that be ersatzis? Anyway, it puts paid to the rumor that Mussolini couldn’t do comedy.

Oh, [Captain Corelli’s Mandoline](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0238112/fullcredits#cast)! I was allergic to their casting and avoided the film, but if they followed the book at all, there ought to be Nazis in there.

[To Be or Not to Be](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0035446/) (and the [remake](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086450/))

Also, even though it’s unfindable, you really ought to make some kind of reference to [The Day the Clown Cried](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Day_the_Clown_Cried).

I wanna second _Mother Night_. Not many people seem to know of it, but it’s the best (IMO) Kurt Vonnegut on film.

I thought of that, but I HATE that movie. Sorry. It’ll be included in the “sale,” but not the featured display.
