    Daniel Balint in The Believer

Nazis are everywhere. And they are bastards. Except when Tom Cruise plays them, like in Valkyrie, when Nazis are pretty much heroes so long as they have a bit of beef with Adolf Hitler. But Nazis aren’t heroes. They are evil. And thanks to Valkyrie and The Reader, they’re all over the big screen again. Cinema is obsessed with Nazis, and always has been. They are an enduring and powerful cinematic image, the ultimate example of how cruel and destructive human beings can be. Some portrayals get this across. Others don’t. Some manage to live, breathe, eat and swim within evil. Others don’t. Here are ten that definitely do.

To be honest with you, you need to go a long way to top that oap dentist nazi dude Laurence Olivier played in marathon man. That scene where he pulls dustin hoffmans teeth out without anesthetic or anything still gets me
