Hey guys do you have any suggestions for a good War film that does not:
A-Have a pointless romance just because you need a pointless romance
B-Is not psychological or at least not heavily focused on it.
C-Does not have an actor who clearly does not fit the role, i.e an American speaking English in an American accent acting as a German officer or a well known Russian sniper....
So basically:
None of this:
and more of this:
-
Good, non Hollywood, war movies.

Re: Good, non Hollywood, war movies.
Hey I thought Valkyrie was a good movie...
But I agree about pointless romances...Like "Pearl Harbor"...Things I trust more than American conservatives:
Drinks from Bill Cosby, Flint Michigan tap water, Plane rides from Al Qaeda, Anything on the menu at Chipotle, Medical procedures from Mengele

Re: Good, non Hollywood, war movies.
I get really annoyed when actors speak English for a foreign character, I mean, how hard can it be to have subtitles?
-
Re: Good, non Hollywood, war movies.
Well i don't particularly like having to read subtitles all the way through a film - if its just one or two characters for a brief period of time it's all well and good, but i'll read a book if i want to read that much text.

Re: Good, non Hollywood, war movies.
I dont mind subtitles as long as their not in the way but thats mostly someone else's fault rather than the film. And Valkrie to me was not a good film, it's an annoying triat of mine but I just cant stand American actors playing foreign roles. If you have a better example of crap Hollywood produces please be my guest and post it up. Originally Posted by General Brittanicus

Re: Good, non Hollywood, war movies.
Well if they actually had a bunch of German actors for the movie and added subtitles, I would agree...But since it was an American made film with mostly American and British actors...

Re: Good, non Hollywood, war movies.
Try this: (Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War)
While it may look a bit like it is partly romance, i can assure you its not. The western trailers always try to emphasise things like that. -
Re: Good, non Hollywood, war movies.
I bought this on DVD actually, it was a great film and I was not hung up on the Historical inaccuracies! Originally Posted by Ulysses S. Grant

Das Boot and Stalingrad are both very good German war movies.
These fine gentlemen's have thanks to their consistent idiotic posts have earned their place on my ignore list: mrmouth, The Illusionist, motiv-8, mongrel, azoth, thorn777 and elfdude. If you want to join their honourable rank you just have to post idiotic posts and you will get there in no time. -
Re: Good, non Hollywood, war movies.
Ah yes, that film....
EDIT:
And yes Ive also seen Stalingrad.
PS: It doesnt have to be a WW2 or modern war film, ive seen Warlords and the Last Samurai(The guy was an American being an American, which is perfect for me).Last edited by samurai89; October 20, 2011 at 02:51 PM.

Re: Good, non Hollywood, war movies.
Ran is nice, but I prefer the non-fiction Ten to Chi To, Heaven and Earth, which is about the Uesugi and Takeda clans, more specifically Uesugi Kenshin and Takeda Shingen. Originally Posted by samurai89

Re: Good, non Hollywood, war movies.
Soldaat van Oranje is a good warmovie that certainly is very different.
As for hollywood, Platoon seems to be a very good war movie that does seem very realistic. -
Re: Good, non Hollywood, war movies.
Right, anyone know any good sites to view these movies on for free?
-
Re: Good, non Hollywood, war movies.
Just buy them. Old movies are dirt cheap.

Re: Good, non Hollywood, war movies.
The Lighthorsemen - Distrubited by Columbia-Tristar, but still an Australian film
9th Company - Russian film about the Soviets in Afghanistan
Saints and Soldiers - Indie film.

Re: Good, non Hollywood, war movies.
Letters from Iwo Jima is a good war film. I also like Behind enemy lines, kinda cheesy tho.
Oh and Zulu!!! Awesome war film.Last edited by Noodlegasm; October 22, 2011 at 08:39 AM.
