84. "Valkyrie" (2008)

Join World War II Movie Night as we reassess the oft-maligned
"Valkyrie," from 2008. No casting in one of our movies was as
criticized from jump as Tom Cruise playing Claus von
Stauffenberg, the German colonel who made the most famous attempt
on Hitler's life. "Valkyrie" had almost everything going for it:
acting, writing, directing, and a bigger budget than the
filmmakers even asked for - so why was it deemed mediocre, and
was that unfair?... asides include Scientology, German guilt, the
inherent creepiness of Goebbels, and How High was Hitler?
