There seems to be quite a rush to make feature films about one happy little group of people in history: Nazis. Recently and in the near future, you can choose to eschew Slumdog Millionaire in favor of no fewer than 4 films that have varying degrees of focus on Nazis. Of course, none of these are glowing endorsements of Nazism, Hilter or the Third Reich in general, but it is a bit odd. A quick look at these:

Valkyrie:
As previously discussed about a month ago, Tom Cruise is a Nazi that wears and eyepatch and plots to kill Hitler. Contrary to what the commercials say, most seem to think a movie should be made about someone plotting to kill Tom Cruise. Ok, that wasn't nice.

Defiance:
This one is about Daniel Craig not being James Bond. Based on the previews, he does lots of heroic things in an effort to resist Nazis. Nobody seems to like this one either.

Good:
Not really sure about the specifics on this, but Viggo Mortensen does not play Stryder. He's a German professor that have some type of involvement with the Nazis in the 1930s. If you're interested in finding out more, you might be the only one.

The Reader:
Something about reading to someone. And Nazis. Probably not great either.

Ok, so it's the best of times and the worst of times if you're into movies about Nazis. On one hand, you've got quite a group of A-List actors playing roles in these movies, but on the other hand, none of them appear to be any good. Thankfully there are still good movies being made, but you might have to get your Nazi fix elsewhere.
