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
Ministry and Sisu seemed to be highly recommend by y’all. Going to start with those two. Appreciate everyone replying with suggestions!
Have fun! They are great.

Should be a natural response
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.
The Blues Brothers
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.
HAHAH
He killed a Nazi by throwing/using a landmine like a frisbee!!!
Sisu is so much fun!!
And there’s two of them! And what feels like basically no dialogue and just stunt / set piece after stunt.
SISU was fucking amazing.
Loved that movie
There are moments of plot armour and plot holes in the movie which are hard to ignore but i still throughly enjoyed the film. I definitely recommend the film.
Definitely Iron Sky, with Inglorious Bastards as a close second.
Sisu is pretty good too
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.
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.
I rewatch band of brothers at least once a year. It’s so good. My only gripe with it is the David Schwimmer should drill sergeant arch.
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.
Also, while they do kill some Nazis, especially once they get to the camps, most of the Germans they kill are not Nazis, but conscripted late teen/early 20 kids.
Conscripts are Nazis
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)
Kung Fury! I suggested that one too
I keep confusing Kung Fury With Kung Pow 😅
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.
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.”
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.
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.
“We’ve got the girl, the rocket will come to us”
i went as the rocketeer for halloween that year. it was a good movie
Inglorious Basterds would be up there for sure.
Ministry of ungentlemanly warfare.
I LOVE this move! It is so much fun! :D
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
The New Order is a reboot that doesn’t rely on any other knowledge. Old Colossus is a direct sequel to that.
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.
The other person mentioned the two main new games but I loved Old Blood as well. If you prefer more classical games or styles, Return to Castle Wolfenstein is a great one too.
Inglourious Basterds, no contest. Second is the Dirty Dozen.
