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?
V for vendetta.
Antagonists are not explicitly Nazis, just racist and homophobic authoritarians preaching religous hate against immigrants.
Inglourious Basterds, no contest. Second is the Dirty Dozen.
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.
And Jennifer Connolly is smoking hot in it, too.
It is sufficient to say that Jennifer Connelly is in it. Saying she is smoking hot is redundant.
Loved that movie as a kid. Completely forgot the Nazi element.
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.”
“We’ve got the girl, the rocket will come to us”
It’s been on my list to watch for ages. Did not know it had Nazis. Might need to move it up
Oh yeah, and the ending is fantastic. Peevy’s final comment about the death of the main villain is just perfect.
I saw that in theaters. I had completely forgotten about it until this moment, but I remember the ads and watching it.
i went as the rocketeer for halloween that year. it was a good movie
Inglorious Basterds would be up there for sure.
IRON SKY
Nazis from the dark side of the moon return to Earth in flying saucers to finish the Third Reich.
It is glorious
I couldn’t finish this 🤣. I was like WTF through a lot of it.
I was trying to remember the main title of this but could only recall “nazis from the dark side of the moon” - thanks and seconded.
Kung Fury, short, insanely over the top, leans into satirizing the 80s steroid-action movie machismo, just plain fun movie.
Hence the laser raptors…
I thought those went extinct thousands of years ago.
Jojo Rabbit!
- Saving Private Ryan
- Fury
- The Big Red One
- 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”.
Fury is such a great movie.
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.
My vote for dirty dozen
indiana jones, the one with sean connery.
because in that movie, they are not a threat, but something like shit sticking to your shoe. Disgusting, annoying, and just a general pain to get rid of.
The Ministry of ungentlemanly warfare
SAS rogue heros
Are a couple more.
It’s a spoof, but the nazi killing goes hard: Kelly’s Heros
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!
Oddball was just ahead of his time loll
Indiana Jones
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.
Gotta protect the hive. Lol I’ve seen it before. It was enjoyable
Fury
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.
This? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1931551/
The 25th Reich?
Exactly! Terrible movie but in a good way
