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?

Inglourious Basterds, no contest. Second is the Dirty Dozen.

[–] Mobiuthuselah@mander.xyz 69 points 5 days ago (2 children)

If you like Inglorious Bastards, you'll probably like The Ministry Of Ungentlemanly Warfare

[–] gothic_lemons@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Ministry and Sisu seemed to be highly recommend by y'all. Going to start with those two. Appreciate everyone replying with suggestions!

V for vendetta.

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

Blues Brothers. Not sure if any of them DIE, directly, but I've got a feeling not all of them survived off-screen.

I hate Illinois Nazis…..

I'd say it counts, those two in the Pinto definitely bought it when their car hit the ground from hundreds of feet in the air.

I see nobody mentioned Sisu here.

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

[–] IWW4@lemmy.zip 10 points 4 days ago

HAHAH

He killed a Nazi by throwing/using a landmine like a frisbee!!!

Sisu is so much fun!!

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.

[–] GalacticGrapefruit@lemmy.world 24 points 4 days ago (8 children)

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.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

And Jennifer Connolly is smoking hot in it, too.

[–] NABDad@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

It is sufficient to say that Jennifer Connelly is in it. Saying she is smoking hot is redundant.

Inglorious Basterds would be up there for sure.

[–] neuracnu@lemmy.blahaj.zone 39 points 5 days ago

The Blues Brothers

[–] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago (2 children)

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

IRON SKY

Nazis from the dark side of the moon return to Earth in flying saucers to finish the Third Reich.

It is glorious

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

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 12 points 5 days ago (5 children)

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.

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

Jojo Rabbit!

[–] IWW4@lemmy.zip 17 points 4 days ago (6 children)
  • 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”.

It's a spoof, but the nazi killing goes hard: Kelly's Heros

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

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!

The Ministry of ungentlemanly warfare

SAS rogue heros

Are a couple more.

[–] FrederikNJS@piefed.zip 20 points 5 days ago (4 children)

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

I LOVE this move! It is so much fun! :D

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)

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.

Danger Five.

I'm taking out the Sit Down Shotgun, so sit down and watch it. But above all, Kill Hitler!

Jojo Rabbit! It's a fantastic movie

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

I don't see any comment yet about Overlord so I will mention Overlord. It's a movie that flew under the radar and is a cult classic for a good reason. Do not read anything about the movie before watching it so that you won't get any clues about the twists and turns. Unless you know quite a bit of WWII history then you could kinda see where the twist would go. But the twists themselves have their own twist!

[–] InterestingUsername@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 days ago

Any of the Indiana Jones films

Inglorious Basterds

[–] Archimedes@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 days ago (2 children)

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.

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.
