WW2 Movies

is there any movie you would recomend about ww2?


besides The Pianist, Schindler's List, Stalingrad, Enemy at the Gates, Der Untergang (The Downfall), Saving Private Ryan, Pearl Harbour

(that's the ones i saw, out of my head..)


is there any movie about the Afrika Korps and the Desert Rats?


or any other worth seeing?

I know 20th Century Fox made one about Ewrin Rommel if you like Black/White films, his desert campaign is briefly put into the film.

Golden Globe Award Winner Best Picture Foreign Language Clint Eastwood oddly make two war films at the same time both about the same battle. Flag of our Fathers was the American film, while Letters From Iwo Jima is one of the very rare films based on the Japanese side of the war.

The Thin Red Line, the smart man's Private Ryan.

Cross of Iron. It's from the German perspective and is set in the trenches in Russia during WW2. A Prussian officer wants the Iron Cross and he'll stop at nothing to get it, including taking the credit for an attack that was actually led by a lieutenant who was killed during the attack.

Edit: Sod it, above poster beat me to it!

Oh come on, only by 4 hours.

Considering we have a listing of all WW2 movies every few weeks or so, I shall just suggest some lesser known ones, like the Russian Zvezda, about a Russian special group operating behind the German lines during WW2. Or if you like it big, Liberation, an epic multi part movie running almost 500 minutes detailing the soviet campaign from the point when they started pushing back the Germans till the Battle of Berlin.

Love that film
The guns of Navarone is a good WW II film
Plot:

A British team is sent to cross occupied Greek territory and destroy the massive German gun emplacement that commands a key sea channel.

Well. Not really a film, but there's the oft-mentioned mini-series Band of Brothers - definately better than any WWII film Ive ever seen.

wow that mini-series after a little search, that really caught my attention


im it now

Patton

Big Red One (Although I thought it sucked)

A Bridge too Far

The Great Escape (About WWII prisoners escaping)

Like Garrigan said, you MUST watch Band of Brothers.

Watching it at the moment actually. I own it on Blu-Ray

Band of brothers is a must watch

i will

To Hell and Back starring Audie Mirphy as himself.

Hope and Glory deals with the home front on the British side during WW2, very interesting movie in my opinion.

I suggest this to everyone who likes WW2 movies:
When trumpets fade.
Its excellent.

I meet with one of the Band of Brothers. Mr Buck Compton of the Band of Brothers.



He lives in Mt Vernon, Washington now. He currently volunteers at the Skagit County Republican Party everyday.

I agree. I've got it on DVD myself.

Another one you should see is Stalag 17. It's an older movie but it's one of the best POW movies out there.
