Doco's also that you recommend on the topic of war/NAZI Germany.


Some of the guys on here were talking previously (think it's on this thread, might have to dig a bit) about a movie from which the Hitler in the bunker sports spoofs were taken from, and all seemed pretty adamant that it was a masterpiece.

Oh .. When you find the name of the movie, can you let me know, cheers ;)

The Great Dictator (1940)
Casablanca (1941)
The Great Escape (1963)
A Bridge Too Far (1977)
Das Boot (1981)
Schindler's List (1993)
Life is Beautiful (1997)
The Counterfeiters (2007)
Valkyrie (2008)

Great little (fictionalised) comedy about young Hitler as a struggling artist that pretty much got snubbed everywhere...

Doco's also that you recommend on the topic of war/NAZI Germany.


Leni Reifentstahl's masterpieces...

Image

Errol Morris' fascinating character study of the completely-off-his-rocker Holocaust deniar Fred Leuchter Jnr...

Aussie B-Grade director Phillippe Mora has been working on a Nazi documentary for years...

The Boy in Striped Pyjamas was a good holocaust movie. Very sad. On the flip side, Inglorious Basterds was a ripper.
Agree with Valkyrie, great movie but the ending always sucks when based on a true story.

Yes, they're great movies. The Pianist is amazing and Inglourious Bastards is just awsome.

enemy at the gates.
the thin red line - got some bad reviews, but it came out bout the same time as saving private ryan, so it really had no hope...
letters from iwojima (think its spelt like that)... really liked it, good or bad point of view from the other side.
windtalkers. as its bit loose on the actual facts, its actually good film...
we were soldiers...
downfall
obviously saving private ryan

just to name a few...

Also wrote some eps on The Wire.

I'm sure Hollywood will bring his latest book, Moonlight Mile, to the big screen, too...
