I think the conversation can stay civilised, all I would like to say on the off-topic is that an effective regime is one that effectively controls and indoctrinates a country, allowing for no aggregation to counteract it. One of the saddest mottos of Italian Fascism was "punish one to educate 100".
Being a Nazi doesn't automatically being evil, at least not in a political point of view: Nazi is a shorten version of national-socialist, which still happens to be the main political wave in Germany. It's the evil that was perpetrated under Nazism that killed, not the political creed per se. Governments and propaganda did a great job with this though, that's why in the UK a Socialist (or in the US a "commie") are considered "bad".
But as Alpha said, there's no point in sliding into politics, especially when people can't maintain a civilised conversation on the topic.
(EDIT: Sorry Alpha, saw your post only now..)
Having said this, David, I'm sure you heard of Twitter and Facebook, believe it or not they're two of the main forms of immediate communications for rebels in Libya and Syria.
Now back to the OT: can you guys think of other movies where "the baddies" are the protagonists?
