Same here. It wasn't my choice at all, but pleasantly surprised me with its absurdity.
Ed Harris is underrated
I only care about winter Olympics, but I'll watch some of the tennis matches.
Yeah, she's a sweetie.
Tom Hanks, love "The Burbs"
the "and don't mention the war" war (sorry for this Falwty Towers reference), following 5 friends.
It's originally called "Unsere Mütter, unsere Väter", meaning "Our mothers, our fathers".

You're right, during the credits, they show him patrolling in modern day Germany. I'd interpret it as a demonstration of what a small group of determined people in uniforms can do. Would fit the general message about the corruption of power.
As a nod to modern day movements - it's not just any random German city, it's Görlitz in Saxony - the subtext is undeniably there.
The last one was in a German court in 1945, then a text describes how he got captured by the British, put on trial and got executed.
Did I miss a post-credits scene?
This movie is based on a true story, the court ruling was not made up.
Delusional ideas of striking back, somehow, sometimes, using yet another wunderwaffe were not uncommon during the last months of the war.
If you found this scene unsettling, try "Murer - Anatomy of a Trial".
The ending of "Look Who's Back" is a direct message to Neo-Nazism in Germany, if you're looking for one ;)
Looking at TNG, Kirk must have been one of a few sexually hyperactive space tourists.
He really took "where no man has gone before" to a personal level.
There should have been much more melting in place, if he was the average of his times.

LOL, what we get to hear today (and what they teach) is a relatively recent standard - Set in 1939 - in London.
Beethoven composed with a¹ at around 455 Hz and they are talking about a notation based on 440 Hz.

"Unsere Mütter, unsere Väter" / "Generation War" (2013) is a TV miniseries, but might hit your taste too.
Trailer: https://youtu.be/TmyGPX23px4
3 episodes of ~90 minutes each, a shorter watch than the Snyder Cut ...
It's WWI (and American-made), but "Im Westen Nichts Neues" (1930) (All Quiet On The Western Front) is excellent.
"The Good Soldier Schweik" (1960) probably is the funniest of them.
WW2:
"Des Teufels General" (1955), terrific acting.
"08/15" (1954) and its sequels take a special role - and a very debatable one. Basically, it's glorifying everyday life in the German Wehrmacht.
"Hunde, wollt ihr ewig leben?" (1959) - Stalingrad
"Der Hauptmann von Köpenick" (1956) - seen a long time ago, more like a 60's comedy.
"Der Bockerer" (1981) - best scene is his unused Swastika flag: https://youtu.be/8NXlv0uZxwk
"The Star of Africa" (1957) - wasted youth meets Top Gun.
"The Captain" (2017), finally watched it, 8/10. Trailer: https://youtu.be/D_zSFeHfglc
not yet seen:
"Woyzeck" (1979), Herzog/Kinski
"Die Brücke" / "The Bridge" (1959), https://youtu.be/AqAQsYmu_1Q
no particular order, just out of my mind ...
Les vacances de Monsieur Hulot, Der Fall Lucona, Baader Meinhof Komplex, Il bisbetico domato, The Great Bellheim, Avalon, L'as des as, Nanga Parbat, North Face, Kops, También la lluvia, Old Men in New Cars, Le tout nouveau testament, La Chèvre, Come Sweet Death, The Swissmakers, Free Rainer, Cyrano de Bergerac (the Rappeneau version), Max Manus

there's a still a lot in common with Burt
(to be clear, I've always been a fan of Burt Reynolds)
Old Cap is based on WW2 propaganda, it would only be consequent to make the new one based on 'Nam, looking for Charlies.
He's the new Burt Reynolds.
It was on TV the other day and I made the mistake to watch it. Can't be that bad ... I've thought ... let's give it the benefit of being something different ... could be bold ... a few gems have low ratings too ...
I'd value a failed experiment for its ideas, even if poorly executed.
I was wrong.
This movie rightfully deserves its ranking at the very bottom. Story, acting, sound, it's cowardly uninspired and lacks production quality.
Still, it preceded a lot of other movies starring rejected TV show contestants, YT advertizers, instapeople or social media personalities, making it kind of a pioneer in the genre of untrained actors in an embarrassing teeny cash grab. Milking somewhat limited fame is the only reason why it got made.
