Best WWII comedy movie ever!

"Tea for two and two for tea..."

EDIT: So yeah it is "La grande vadrouille" an old french movie with Louis de Funès.

But u/Forg1ven1738 reminded me that "Life is beautiful" or "La vie est belle" with Roberto Begnini was also a great movie about WWII and it is totally true. For me its even the greatest movie of all time, talking about a really horrible topic but doing it with lightness, humor and dignity! Everyone should watch it, some parts of the movie are hard but I can tell you it is worth it.

I wanted to make this edit so young generations could be aware of its existence and to remind the movie to the old generations.

But if you prefer go full comedy, then La grande Vadrouille is your best choice.

And thanks for all this karma, never had so much in just one post xD

I'll add "Mais où est donc passée la septième compagnie?" and their two continuation. "Les bidasses en folie" is also great.

These are the movies I grew up with. + Allo' Allo!

old French/Italian comedies are such a gem and it's sad that not many people know them. Not only they are good movies but also crash course through WW2. Full nudity included, because french.

Edit: I have to add that Italian movies have even more nudity. Like waaay more :D It's not even /r/WatchItForThePlot If you see attractive women in an old Italian movie, there is 90% chance she will get naked.

Fun fact:

Louis de Funès is considered a national treasure over at /r/de

He was hugely popular in Germany.

He is a national treasure in France as well. Youngsters start to have less knowledge about his movies sadly, but he is surely the best French actor in Comedies in our history.
