1. Downfall.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

2. First two are great esp. JoJo

Haven't seen the third.

But wasn't The Lives of Others about the Stasi in post-war East Germany? I.E. more about the Communists than about the Nazi's? I only saw once back when it came out, but that's what I recall.

5. Let's start close to the beginning

[Warpy]

6. You stole my first choice, Chaplin was magnificent.

"The Pianist." Every time you think it couldn't get worse, it does. It didn't sugar coat anything.

[mahina]

12. Auwe, auwe.

[mahina]

9. Oh yes!

7. Judgement At Nuremburg.

[mahina]

11. I'll definitely check it out.

The last living Nuremberg trials translator passed here in Hawaii recently. He taught history at Punahou, President Obama’s school.

15. Excellent choice. Exceptionally good portrayal of

the breakdown of morality in Nazi Germany through the post war trial of 4 men who served as judges under the Nazis and sentenced people to concentration camps.

[Deep State Witch]

8. Schindler's List

and Sophie's Choice

[mahina]

10. Great ones.

[wnylib]

16. Agree. Some good but lesser known ones

based on true stories of actual people: Escape From Sobibor, Hidden in Silence, and Walking With the Enemy.

Sobibor was a death camp that prisoners rebelled against and escaped from through organized efforts to free the entire camp after secretly killing several SS guards.

Hidden in Silence is the true story of two Polish Catholic girls, one a teen and the other her 7 year old sister. The teen works in the store owned by a Jewish family when Nazis invade their city. The two girls rescue some members of the Jewish family and their friends from the ghetto established by the Nazis for collecting Jews prior to deportation to the camps. The girls keep 13 people hidden in an attic for 2 years right under the noses of the Nazi soldiers and Gestapo until the Russians liberate the city at the end of the war. The older girl later married one of the boys from the family that she used to work for.

Walking with the Enemy is the true story of a Hungarian Jew whose family was deported and murdered in the camps when Germans cracked down on Hungary's attempt to surrender to the Allies. During the German occupation, the main character kills two SS men who break into his girlfriend's home to rape her. Then he and his best friend, who are both fluent in German, wear the SS uniforms from the dead men to pose as SS officers and rescue hundreds of people from deportation to the camps by claiming to need them for labor under SS orders.

I have all of these on DVD but I know that they are available for streaming from online movie sites.
