Despite its greater fame as meme fodder, his portrayal of Hitler in Downfall was incredible.
His rants in Downfall are the stuff of legend!
There was even a STW Hitler rant meme, I can't find it, but hope someone else can and posts it.
I loved Wings of Desire
Thank you CF, the gift that keeps giving! Haven’t seen it in ages, hasn’t got old. 🤣

I loved Wings of Desire
Yep one of Wim Wenders best films
Though "until the end of the world" foretold so much of today!!
The fact that the meme endures is that it was such a fantastic piece of acting. I have to admit I don't think I've seen him in anything else but Downfall was amazing.
The way he dealt with the "parodies" was also classy. I suspect he wasn't such a fan, most of them are somewhere between embarrassing and distasteful.
A massive fan of Wim Wenders - so Wings of Desire and his performance is up there for me.
Never saw Downfall after all the spoilers.
I've not seen that before, now i have tears running down my face.
I saw an interview with him where he talked abboot Downfall. Although he thought it was good that the memes were made, as it made more people interested in the film, he wasn’t entirely happy that one of his best performances was being turned into comedy.
Still, an amazing performance, throughout the movie, and a brrilliant film olverall.
As an old timer on here, that Downfall meme had me properly. Where are they now, Rudefred, SFB, what happened to TJ and his ridiculous contraption 😉
As The Poke suggests - this was inevitable.
