Hitler's Museum (2006)
One and a half years before the begin of the Second World War during the annexation of Austria in March of 1938, Hitler conceived the megalomaniac idea of creating the largest European art center in his home town of Linz. At the beginning of the war on the 1st of September 1939, not only did his armies advance but also his art thieves began to fan out in their great foray of art plundering; an expedition on a previously unheard of scale began. Not only did the task forces of diverse National Socialist organizations pillage the occupied countries; Nazi bigwigs like Goering also took whatever they felt was valuable. This documentary includes the long and eventful journey of an exceptional masterpiece of European art: the Ghent Altar, created by van Eyck.

Thanks for the memories!
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
