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

[–] gothic_lemons@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks 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!

Should be a natural response

[–] Pat@feddit.nu 48 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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

[–] IWW4@lemmy.zip 17 points 2 weeks ago

I hate Illinois Nazis…..

[–] STUNT_GRANNY@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

The Blues Brothers

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 37 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

V for vendetta.

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

[–] olafurp@lemmy.world 35 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

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 2 weeks ago

HAHAH

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

Sisu is so much fun!!

[–] idealotus@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

And there's two of them! And what feels like basically no dialogue and just stunt / set piece after stunt.

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

[–] chocrates@piefed.world 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] unitedwithme@lemmy.today 7 points 2 weeks ago

I think I liked Sisu better than IN. Tarentino is good, of course, but they always feel the same. Sisu was so unexpectedly good, I can't help but recommend it all the time.

[–] tryagain@sopuli.xyz 29 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks 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.

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)

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.

Inglorious Basterds would be up there for sure.

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 2 weeks ago

Ministry of ungentlemanly warfare.

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

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

[–] FrederikNJS@piefed.zip 19 points 2 weeks 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

Jojo Rabbit! It's a fantastic movie

[–] Grail@multiverse.soulism.net 16 points 2 weeks ago

Jojo Rabbit!

[–] weew@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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
  • 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”.
[–] boaratio@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

Fury is such a great movie.

Danger Five.

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

Movie? Could use more of this in the news.

[–] gothic_lemons@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

A-fucking-men

[–] Szurke@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 weeks ago

Dead Snow is a fun one.

[–] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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

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

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.

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.

Colditz, Victory, Stalag 17, Von Ryan's Express, and the best of them all, The Great Escape.

Making fools of Nazis.

[–] OneCardboardBox@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] Prairie_Madness@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Not necessarily a movie but Band of Brothers. Or for a lighter take then obviously Inglourious Basterds

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

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.
