I never liked Manhunter that much (although Tom Noonan is always watchable.) That particular Brian Cox seemed to play the character as being easily bored with everything (which is the opposite of how he's described in the books) and a lot of Michael Mann's films just look like 80's TV movies to me, with too many shots of boats, seascapes, cheesy music and far too much of the colour blue, like he's constantly trying to remake Miami Vice with different characters.
And yet I know there is a very large number of people who rate Manhunter as the best Hannibal Lecter film and even the original author Thomas Harris seems to prefer it.
Then again, Stephen King didn't like the movie of The Shining so what do the hell authors know about their own work! Pfft!

Don't know about Iron Sky, would have to google. 
I've never seen The Great Dictator but I'm overly familiar with that epic speech he gives about "machine men with their machine minds." It features on far too many YouTube videos, even saw a Star Wars version of it once.

EDIT: After seeing this video I have to say seeing the original was kind of ruined for me. I couldn't quite get Trump's smug face out of my head. The rest of the movie was still enjoyable though. Especially "The Phooeys" speaches which contained a lot of Wienersnitzel und Saurkraut. And the line "He's a little horse"...

I'm not particularly fond of Mann's work either, but I do consider Manhunter to be very good. It is certainly a much better version of the story than Ratner's Red Dragon.
Not that proof was needed, but King's own adaptation of The Shining proves beyond any doubt that he knows nothing about adapting his own work for the screen.

At least Red Dragon had that tasty painting in it.
But it did have Edward Norton in it too.
