Movies about Nazis

What movie do you show high school students to teach them about Nazi's? I was posed this question recently, and it really made me rack my brain. So, I present to you my list of best films about Nazi's:

1) Indiana Jones and Raiders of the Lost Ark/Last Crusade: Two of my all time favorite movies. More importantly, it shows that Nazi's are so crazy they are willing to use hundreds of troops to find either the Ark of the Covenant or the cup of Christ. Fictitious, but it gives you a sense of their character.

2) The Great Dictator: This Charlie Chaplin movie came out in 1940, and was written during Hitler's rise to power. What better way to learn about Hitler than to see how people AT THE TIME decided to satirize him. It's light hearted, but as anyone who has seen "City Lights" knows, Chaplin can be dead serious when it counts.

3) Schindler's List: Ok, we're getting serious now. While this is a harrowing film, and its f-ing scary, it is also a Spielberg film, and that means it has a very strong heart in it. You will leave feeling uplifted and that the darkest night of the world has passed.

4) Sophies Choice: This shows the ugly, soul destroying part of the Holocaust framed by a post-WW2 story, making it easier to swallow. Both Kevin Kline and Meryl Streep are phenomenal, though I felt like the revelation of what the 'choice' was was anti-climactic, I had guessed it long before and thought the film made it obvious.

5) Downfall: A scary scary movie about the last days of Hitlers regime. Certain scenes definitely haunted me, but I think it was an important portrayal of the absolute madness of him and his followers. Not for the weak of heart.

6) The Good German: A great homage to, well mostly to "Casablanca", about postwar Berlin during the Potsdam negotiations. George Clooney and Cate Blanchett nail their roles, and the film is really about how miserable it was to be in Germany during and after the war. Great film.

7) Good: I haven't seen this yet! But, its about a professor in Germany who must grapple with his beliefs vs. saving his life by joining the Nazi party. Viggo Mortensen and the incomparable Jason Isaacs as a Jewish Professor he is friends with.

8) Life is Beautiful: Get ready to cry. Father-son story with a Chaplin-esque humor in it alongside the grim realities of war.

I made this list about Nazi's not WWII in general, because then I have a whole other list of great films ("Saving Private Ryan" and "Empire of the Sun" at the top!)
