1. Metropolis (1927) >Shortly after the Nazis came to power, Goebbels told Lang that, on the basis of their seeing Metropolis together years before, Hitler had said that he wanted Lang to make Nazi films.[66]
2. King Kong (1933) >The film was initially banned in Nazi Germany, with the censors describing it as an "attack against the nerves of the German people" and a "violation of German race feeling". However, according to confidant Ernst Hanfstaengl, Adolf Hitler was "fascinated" by the film and saw it several times.[91]
3. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) >More favored were Mickey Mouse films, which Hitler liked so much that Goebbels gave him a present of them. He asked for Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to be sent to his country estate, the Berghof, but, says Niven, “We don’t know if he watched it.”
4. The Lives of a Bengal Lancer (1935) >According to Ivone Kirkpatrick, who met Adolf Hitler at Berchtesgaden in 1937, one of Hitler's favorite films was The Lives of a Bengal Lancer, which he had watched three times.[22] He liked the film because "it depicted a handful of Britons holding a continent in thrall. That was how a superior race must behave and the film was a compulsory viewing for the S.S."[22][23] Also, his valet recalled that Hitler enjoyed the film.[24][25][26] It was one of the eleven US movies that, from 1933 to 1937, were considered "artistically valuable" by the Nazi authorities.[27]
5. Triumph of the Will (1935) >Hitler praised the film as being an "incomparable glorification of the power and beauty of our Movement."
you just know hitler would have been into BLACKED culture if he was fascinated by a giant gorilla
Colton Roberts
I'd also add that the Holocaust is a hoax. Other than that, solid post OP.
Andrew Nguyen
I have a DVD of Triumph somewhere, it starts out slow but is kinda badass.
Landon Watson

>Snow White Uhh Yea Forumsaryans... I thought animated movies were only for KIDS? Why does our god like them?

Hitler gave Jesse Owens, a handshake and a nod of approval during the Berlin Olympics. When he came back to the US, Jesse was made to take the servants elevator and FDR refused to telegram him.

Hitler jerked off to Fay Wray getting manhandled by a gorilla, confirmed
Jacob Lopez
Wonderful visuals. If people approach it hoping for an idea or message such as the word propaganda usually brings to mind then they're dead wrong.
You do know Triumph of the Will is one the most studied flims in film school right? Riefenstahl is considered an innovator of several film shots. The film is also studied in teh category of "film as propaganda" par excellance along with battleship Potemkin. Its not an acceident that both were groundbreaking films visually.

6. Marvel Avengers >hitlre thought it was epic awesome !!

It will never stop being funny to me that Hitler was a nerdy film buff. Really goes and shows how many problems you could fix by just killing most of the failed men population.
Josiah Flores
Hitler loved Disney's Snow White which was, of course, a German fairy tale known as Sneewittchen. In his heart Hitler harkened back to the tales of the simple Aryan folk. He really did not like modernity. Hitler considered it among the greatest movies ever made.
Considering he was a Disney fanboy I unironically think he would've liked some capeshit movies.
Joshua Hall
>It will never stop being funny to me that Hitler was a nerdy film buff. there's literally no proof for any of the movies listed in the OP except metropolis. king kong, snow white, and bengal lancer are all unsubstantiated rumors and quotes from a disgruntled chauffeur of his
Leo Edwards
i dont believe the metropolis story but the rest are true in my opinion
It's a well known fact that Goebbels gifted him a collection of Disney cartoons for Christmas.
Connor Perez
i really doubt it.
you'd think he'd love a movie like Stagecoach, but after finding out Ford made progopanda pictures right after the war broke out, I seriously doubt he cared for American movies.
its not a fact, just a rumor. trust me, ive looked into this. unless you have some verifiable source? some say he hated Disney and mickey mouse, calling him a "tap dancing idiot". he also didnt like him being a mouse, as to him they were disgusting creatures. others say he loved Walt. We do know this stuff:
>Disney has been accused of anti-Semitism for having given Nazi propagandist Leni Riefenstahl a tour of his studio a month after Kristallnacht,[197] something he disavowed three months later claiming he was unaware who she was when he was issued the invitation.[198][x]
>She negotiated with Louis B. Mayer, and on 8 December, Walt Disney brought her on a three-hour tour showing her the ongoing production of Fantasia.[39]
I've done some research on various politicians' favorite movies for a podcast, here's a selection >Trump Citizen Kane/Bloodsport >Biden Chariots of Fire >Obama The Godfather >Dubya Field of Dreams >Clinton, Reagan and Eisenhower High Noon >Wilson Birth of a nation
International >Putin Chapaev >Xi Saving Private Ryan >Merkel Paul und Paula >Bojo Lord of the rings >Kim Rambo/Friday the 13th
And a special French selection because I'm French >Macron Les Tontons fligueurs >Le Pen Le Père Noël est une ordure/Braveheart >Zemmour Barry Lyndon >Mélenchon Little Big Man
Austin Jenkins
I've seen multiple sources over the years claiming that he liked disney and ironically enough the mouse mascot that you're claiming he hated. It's possible that it's a fake rumor though, I agree. The King Kong rumor seems to be true.
Being able to acknowledge that jews are talented doesn't mean you like the way they conduct their politics
Thomas Powell
He told Goebbels he was half Jewish because he didn't want to make their movies and then Goebbels said 'Mr. Lang, we decide who is Aryan or not'.
Jose Lee
uh, no, he didnt hate all jews. he hated the jews who were corrupting germany, namely the warburgs and their freemason buddies. which is why he outlawed freemasonry, pornography, and kicked jews outa owning businesses.
Andrew Nguyen
>Xi >Saving Private Ryan Well that’s curious isn’t it. I wonder when he gave that answer.
Evan Taylor
plenty of jews were given a free pass if they warranted it. ludwig wittgenstein's entire family was declared aryan.
Robert Smith
metropolis is the best film on that list so it better be true for his sake if not, i'm going to go and beat him up
Liam Gomez
Weren't there drawings of his of some of the dwarves? Or was that fake?
Benjamin Campbell
It's probably connected more to the fact that it's a well made war movie, not so much because of it being about americans or allied propaganda or whatever.
Christian Watson
theres also werner goldberg who was put on propaganda recruitment posters for awhile
