Winning the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay, Waititi presented an unusually whimsical and disarming look at Nazism, bordering on satire at times, as the boy, "Jojo" Betzler, had an imaginary friend in the form of Adolf Hitler (Waititi himself in the role). The most recent film on this list, Taika Waititi's Jojo Rabbit is a coming-of-age dramedy about a ten-year-old boy, a Hitler Youth member, who finds out that his mother (Scarlett Johansson) is hiding a Jewish girl in their attic.
Where to Watch: FuboTV, DirecTV, or rentable on most platforms. Das Boot is moving, exciting, and claustrophobic, depicting both the anxiety and banality of combat. Taut, thrilling, and smart, this epic naval adventure follows the crew of a German U-boat as they set out on to patrol the waters during the Battle of the Atlantic. Written and directed by German filmmaker Wolfgang Petersen (who would go on to direct Air Force One and Troy), Das Boot was hailed as one of the greatest war films ever made. Where to Watch: FuboTV, or rentable on most platforms.
Read IGN's review of Inglourious Basterds. Brad Pitt, Michael Fassbender, Diane Kruger, Daniel Brühl, Mélanie Laurent, and Christoph Waltz (who won an Academy Award for his role) starred in this tense, quirky revenge saga nestled among the horrors of war. Quentin Tarantino's violent, clever re-history, Inglourious Basterds, featured a Nazi-killing brigade, a Jewish movie theater owner, a ruthless SS officer, and a German film star-turned-spy as they all converge on occupied Paris for a movie premiere that proves to be quite crucial for the Allied war effort. Where to Watch: Tubi (with ads), Sling, or rentable on most platforms.
