Die Hamburger Krankheit (1979)



West Germany is haunted by a mysterious, deadly plague. In Hamburg, a group of people head for an odyssey through the country to search for survivors and a rescue.

From memory: Surreal, eccentric doomsday drama is a bit wobbly staged, but consistently fascinating.

Iron Sky (2012)



The Nazis set up a secret base on the dark side of the moon in 1945 where they hide out and plan to return to power in 2018.

Steampunk satire is deliberately not political correct, but the humor is patchy; good special effects and visuals, though.

Maltin***: "Flamboyant premise and lavish special effects would seem to promise a colorful melodrama, but it's really a wry satire on U.S. ambitions and failings. The female president is clearly meant to represent a certain former Alaskan governor. Goes on too long, but still amusing, entertaining, and definitely novel."
