Hah, yeah that's definitely got the american hero feeling sorted. Plus it's pretty brilliant anyway.

"Where Eagles Dare" (1968) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0065207/
Clint Eastwood killing nazies: maybe the BEST commando movie in History. If you have played "Commandos" games and/or "Return to Castle Wolfestein" you love this movie, and the music is great!

"Kelly's Heroes" (1970) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0065938/
Clint Eastwood again. This movie is a COMEDY about a robbery in a nazi bank behind enemy lines several days after D-Day. This movie has the best/funniest dialoges I have ever listened. Donald Shutherland is a god.

Blasphemie! Also, I don't think it's that pro-american. They really are inglourious bastards, you know. "... what with the dualism of man" and all that.

Wrong, Inglorious Basterds.

I never understood why they spelled it that way.

I think there's an Italian movie with a similar plot, whose English name is Inglorious Bastards. Maybe he didn't want to get sued?

Inglorious Basterds is great and highly entertaining but calling it a WW2 movie is almost a stretch given how insanely stylized and not remotely realistic it is.

Another great one is Der Untergang (Eng: The Downfall) which you've seen probably since the Hitler with his general scenes are a youtube meme (people caption it). It's a German film about the last weeks of Hitler's life in his bunker and it is INCREDIBLY well done.

Another kickass German WW2 movie is Das Boot which is about a U-Boat crew and is possibly even better than Der Untergang.

I really like this movie, it's really well done and the actors are awesome, especially the one playing Hitler. There was this other movie where Robert Carlyle played Hitler REALLY well as well.. Ah! Hitler: The Rise of Evil.

Nobody seems to have noticed the extra 'u' in 'Inglourious', seeing as we were being pedantic.

Somehow that reminds me of the Unreal III cover.
