My Favorite Movie Scene, Today

My Favorite Movie Scene, Today
Hard to believe this is necessary in 2016, but count me among those who believe we need to call a Nazi a Nazi. This scene is from the Michael Powell/Emerick Pressburger classic "The 49th Parallel" from 1941 (pre-Pearl Harbor), and it couldn't be more relevant today.
