Has anyone seen this movie? I think it was released about 5-6 years ago. It's about a skinhead/neo-nazi gang in Venice Beach? It's got Edward Norton in it, if anyone is a fan of Fight Club, or Red Dragon, even.
It's a great movie, and if you're looking for a more serious (seemingly violent) movie concerning nazism, rent this. (Or buy it, in my case. ) It's more emotional than one would think. It had me tearing up at the end, and that's very, very hard to do.
Related Films (off the top of my head)
The Believer, with a lot more concentration on Jewish Heritage.

History X is a compelling yet highly depressing movie. I've seen it, twice and i've released the "waterworks" on both occasions. You definately need a strong heart for this flick.

I'll look out for it, thanks. The closest I have seen is Schindler's List in my History lessons. That was a good movie, yet depressing as one may expect.

To tell the truth, I found Schindler's List a little pretentious, a bit like the Pianist. It worked too much off of human emotion rather than developing the historical aspect of the movie.
American History X actually is "present time." Not in the same timeframe as both The Pianist and Schindler's List.
