The world/US is terrible rn. I wanted a comfort movie where I get to watch Nazis be killed. So I'm watching Inglorious Bastards now.

What's your favorite killing Nazis movie?

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.

    V for vendetta.

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

    I see nobody mentioned Sisu here.

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

    Definitely Iron Sky, with Inglorious Bastards as a close second.

    Saving Private Ryan goes pretty hard once they're off the beach.

    Same vein as Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers feels to me like the defining WW2 peice of cinema. But its less about killing nazis (which is kind of incidental) and more about bros loving bros.

    Band of Brothers is even better than Saving Private Ryan because a dramatised real life experience is better than a fictionalised story at the backdrop of a real event. I think Band of Brothers improved upon on where Saving Private Ryan lacked.

    Some of mine or my wife's favourites in no particular order

    • Iron sky
    • Iron Sky 2 (even better than the first in my opinion)
    • Yoga Hosers
    • Kung Fury
    • Captain America
    • Hellboy (though to a lesser extent than the rest although Nazis are the main villains)

    Once you're done with the movies, might I recommend you look into a video game where you get to shoot some Nazis yourself?

    The "Wolfenstein" video game series might be a good starting point

    Any wolfenstein game in particular you recommend I start at? I play a bit of one forever ago

    Definitely start with The New Order. If it doesn't run well for you (it is a bit jank) play The New Colossus.

    TNO, TNC, and The Old Blood (TOB?) Make up the modern rebooted trilogy. They are sublime even if there's some technical jank until you make it to TNC. If you want more after that, try Return to Castle Wolfenstein. It is very old but very tightly designed.

    • 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”.

    Oh man! That attack on the fixed artillery and the battle with the Tiger rank as some of the best WWII movie batles.

    I got so obsessed with Fury that I had to look up what Shia LeBouf says when he fires the cannon. I initially thought he said "and the way" but it turns out he says "on the way" and it's because historically the cannon moves the tank so much that it could injure the other soldiers. Fucking great movie. Turns out if you're a white dude in your 40s you get obsessed with WW2 movies.

    So when I was in the Army I was assigned to the First Armored Division in Germany.

    So I spent a lot of time around tankers. “On the way” is a used all the time in tanks.

    TC = Tank Commander (Brad Pitt) GNR = Gunner (John Bernthal) LDR = Loader (Shia Leboef)

    Here is an example:

    • TC "gunner, sabot, tank"
    • GNR "identified”
    • LDR "up"
    • TC "fire"
    • GNR "on the way"
    • TC "target cease fire"

    I've worked a lot with the army as a contractor, but never with an armored division. I mainly worked with airborne divisions. Thanks for adding clarity.

    Edit: I still feel like Fury is underrated as far as WW2 movies go.

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

    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.

    Eddy Valentine casually uttering one of the hardest lines in the movie.

    "Come on, Eddy. I pay you well. Does it matter who I work for?"

    "It matters to me. I may not make an honest buck, but I'm 100% American. And I ain't workin' for no two-bit Nazi."

    At first, the history nerd in me went "What? This is historically inaccurate!" But upon repeat multiples viewings, because my country's national TV constantly re-runs Kelly's Heroes, I now find it as one of the most fun war movies I have ever watched!

    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.

    Fury and Overlord. The former is gritty as hell the latter is more sci-fi. Both are fantastic.

    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.

    The Dirty Dozen has a very cathartic finale, nearly on the level of the cinema fire from Inglorious Basterds.

    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.

    Freaky Tales is a relatively new one that is essentially a collection of short stories that link together; what links them together is how the various protagonists all end up kicking the shit out of a group of neo-nazis who have been terroizing the city.
