World War II Nazi Caper Movies

After Grindhouse, the misfiring nod to the rough, no-budget movies of the 70s, Quentin Tarantino draws on the macho war-mongering of The Dirty Dozen for his latest venture. The director describes it as a "spaghetti western but with World War II iconography" but what he means is a gored-up celebration of Where Eagles Dare or Guns of Navarone. Brad Pitt stars as Lt Aldo Raine aka "Aldo the Apache", a fast-talking, vengeance-driven Tennessee hillbilly, who puts together a team of eight Jewish-American soldiers to exact a terrible revenge on the Nazis in Occupied France.
