Fatherland for a bit of alt-history Naziism.
The best line about Nazis was in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade:
“Nazis. I hate these guys.”
Three more (if you can fing them) They are by H.H. Kirst, the same author of The Night of the Generals :
08/15,
08/15 - Zweiter Tel,
08/15 - In der Heimat
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.
Galactica 1980. No joke.
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.
ACK! Yep, I was- it’s been a while… never mind… :smack:
Life is Beautiful
Also – and weirdly – there were three anti-Nazi Sherlock Holmes movies made during WWII
Sherlock Holmes and the Voice of Terror
Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon
Sherlock Holmes in Washington
If you’re including cartoons, Donald Duck in “Der Fuhrer’s Face”
The Battle of the Bulge. which includes Robert Shaw as Nazi Quint.
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.
Bedknobs and Broomsticks
I know it’s a stretch but The Twilight Zone has that sequence where the prejudiced guy ends up running from Nazis.
Juden Heraus!
Watch on the Rhine.
49th Parallel.
Rogue Male.
A definite favorite, I thought of this one just as I was going to bed last night.
(I’m too lazy to respond to all the individual suggestions above, but there are some great ones, I’m adding them to the display.)
The Keep, a horror film with Scott Glenn, Gabriel Byrne, Jurgen Prochnow, and Ian McKellen. Not the high point of any of their careers, but I thought it was entertaining. And, hey, Nazis!
–AND cheesy demons! Completely unavailable. Probably suppressed by Michael Mann . . .
