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?

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 1 points 9 minutes ago

HAHAH

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

Sisu is so much fun!!

[–] idealotus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

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

[–] daggermoon@piefed.world 5 points 2 hours ago

Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

[–] snoons@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Danger Five.

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

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 5 hours ago

Should be a natural response

[–] FrederikNJS@piefed.zip 6 points 4 hours ago

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

[–] Pat@feddit.nu 19 points 6 hours 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 1 points 8 minutes ago

I hate Illinois Nazis…..

[–] STUNT_GRANNY@lemmy.world 7 points 5 hours ago

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.

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 5 hours ago

Ministry of ungentlemanly warfare.

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

[–] blueamigafan@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Where eagles dare is my all time favourite WW2 film has Clint Eastwood and Richard Burton.

[–] pdxfed@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

There are two of us, amazing!

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

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago (1 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.

[–] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 1 points 4 hours ago

Even as a grown man that show gets me so freaking emotional. Even from the interviews in the very beginning. The opening sequence is beautiful as well.

[–] Mobiuthuselah@mander.xyz 31 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] gothic_lemons@lemmy.world 1 points 35 minutes ago

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

[–] Pennywise@quokk.au 3 points 5 hours ago

Superman(Witcher) and Reacher?! Sold.

[–] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.zip 5 points 5 hours ago

They've already been mentioned, but this last April 30th I got access to a theater. Me and a group of friends watched Ministry if Ungentlemanly Warfare immediately followed by Sisu. Great way to spend a holiday. I'm not sure which I love most between the two they're very different and both are stellar

[–] DrBanjo@reddthat.com 9 points 6 hours ago

Jojo Rabbit! It's a fantastic movie

[–] neuracnu@lemmy.blahaj.zone 31 points 9 hours ago

The Blues Brothers

[–] fubarx@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago

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

Making fools of Nazis.

[–] Murse@slrpnk.net 7 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Movie? Could use more of this in the news.

[–] gothic_lemons@lemmy.world 2 points 46 minutes ago

A-fucking-men

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 25 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] chocrates@piefed.world 11 points 9 hours ago (1 children)
[–] unitedwithme@lemmy.today 6 points 9 hours 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.

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 6 points 7 hours ago

Raiders and Last Crusade.

[–] mushroommunk@lemmy.today 12 points 8 hours ago

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)
[–] Abyssian@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

If I'm going to kill nazis with a movie, it's going to have to be something like Battlefield Earth or Glitter. If I'm feeling especially cruel I might even make them watch Melania.

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 12 points 9 hours ago

Inglorious Basterds

[–] Szurke@sh.itjust.works 12 points 9 hours ago

Dead Snow is a fun one.

[–] Return_of_Chippy@lemmy.world 7 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 1 points 3 hours ago

Overlord was so freaking cool. Definitely one of the best of the few "Weird War II" movies out there.

[–] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 6 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I've been meaning to watch Sisu.

[–] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 6 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

Do Sisu, OP. They play it like Rambo or ~~Chainsaw Massacre~~ Halloween. I meant Halloween

[–] olafurp@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

Love that movie, best Nazi killing movie IMO

[–] lemmysmash@piefed.social 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Magyar Birds footage. It's a series.

[–] snoons@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 hours ago

LMAO

I love watching those in the morning over breakfast. Makes the day a bit brighter.

My favourite part is when they find a nazi hiding in a well... and well, let's just say FWOOMP.

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 5 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Well, it's more of a comedy tragedy, but in Life Is Beautiful 1997 a guy trolls the Nazis for years and then his son makes it out of the concentration camps.

[–] MindMovie@feddit.dk 1 points 2 hours ago

That one is a Must Watch! Saw it once, back when it came out and still think of it now and then.

In an even lighter vein, To Be Or Not To Be (1942) is a hilarious anti Nazi movie. I forget how many Nazis die in it, but at least 1. There is also a splendid Mel Brooks remake of it, though I prefer the original.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 5 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours 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.

[–] luthis 1 points 6 hours ago

War of the worlds. But it has a sad ending

[–] Pennywise@quokk.au 4 points 9 hours ago

You're watching the first thing that came to mind.

Maybe The Dirty Dozen or some Indian Jones and the last crusade.
