The Road to Perdition (2002) – I think every description I ever saw of this movie buried the lede. The usual summary is along the lines of “A young boy in ’30s Chicago finds out what his father actually does for a living.” Much better would be “A ’30s mob hitman and his 11-year-old son go on the run from a double-crosser in the Mob family.”
Never explained: Why bother giving Tom Hanks a minimal prosthetic nose? It’s not like he looked any less like Tom Hanks.
Torpedo: U-235 (2019) – To help the Allied war effort, an loose-cannon team of Belgian resistance fighters are recruited to pilot a captured Nazi submarine from the Congo to the U.S. with a load of uranium to help build the bomb. Since they don’t know anything about piloting a submarine, they’re replaced with a competent crew they also have along a captured German sub captain to give them a crash course.
It’s pretty fun, though uneven, and Lessons Are Learned about friendship across war hostilities and across racial lines, and why your girlfriend’s father should never been the uncontrollable leader of your resistance team. It’s nowhere near as good as Das Boot, but it’ll work in a pinch if you want something (a) shorter, and (b) not told from the point-of-view of the “bad guy” side in World War II.
Night of the Demon (aka Curse of the Demon) (1957) – Famous as “the one with the wiggly demon nose,” this English-made horror movie has scientific skepticism vs. a charismatic cult leader, plus a plot device which screenwriter Benjamin Carr pretty much reused in Full Moon’s Shrieker (1997): If you haven’t given the cursed parchment to someone else before midnight, the flame demon will get you!
