What is the best WW2 Movie ?

"Das Boot" is my favorite because the U-boat commander is a genius and he saves his ship only for it to die in a bombing raid.

 

the irony of life.


i like the carracter who pisses in the little tin can before a dept charge is going of. funny guy. remineds me of someone i know. damm, he looks the same with that beard

 

BAND OF BROTHERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! W/O A DOUBT

 

Have you seen When Trumpets Fade?

 

Mini series not a movie

 

What is when trumpet fade about ? older movie or fairly current

 

Kelly's Heroes :lol:

 

it follows the story of a private through the battle of the Hurgeten Forest and is't that old, I believe it was realised around the same time as SPR

 

I like Kelly's Heros very good movie :bang: CLING EASTWOOD!

 

best years of our lives,spr, shindlers list,slaughterhouse five,from here to eternity,enemy at the gate,tora tora tora,das boot,12 oclock high,bob,mr roberts ,the young lions,thin red line,murphys war,macaurther,in harms way,patton,the english patient,to hell and back . most war movies have scenes of action that are over done.i recently read ;the ghost soldiers bout the us rangers springin the p.o.w.s in philipenes....quick in ,shot a couple jap sentries ..quick out ...success! then ,i see the movie,just out on cd...jesus ,u woulda thought it was the battle of stalingrad....but then ,i realized ,they got to sell tickets to lottsa 13 year olds..so they create a lotta action ,that never happined...if they made it historicaly correct ,it wouldnt sell enuff popcorn,also movie viewers are a lot hader to please.hero cant just shoot the bad guy,,he has to do it with two pistoles while flyin thru the air upside down and on fire......

 

Ain't that the truth.

*Grumbles*

 

I almost forgot one. it's not a big battle scene movie but very factual and exciting. THE BUNKER w/ Anthony Hopkins

 

path of glory ,
soldiers are meat

 

my favorites in order

1) Band of Brothers
2) enemy at the gates
3) the blue max
4) tmavomodry svet
5) all quiet on the western front

Full Metal Jacket and Beast of War are my other non-ww2 favorites

Saving Private Ryan had such horrible characters i cheered every time one of them got picked off by the germans. in fact my favorite part was when the german stabbed the guy with the browning in the throat...

Pearl harbor was also shlock, but at least the characters were nice guys so i actually enjoyed it

 

fairly current, and it deals with the human naute in combat, from the bad to the good spirit , if you can name it like that, but it is one of my favorites

 

Dirty Dozen is my favorite but Kellys Heroes is right next to it .Band of Brothers is a series .

 

How can you like these movies? They are travesties, both from a historical perspective and through the lame entwining of lovestories.

 

How I Won The War

 

yeah... but stalingrad had some good graphic imagery and nice gun sounds... pearl harbor is lame too but the dogfights at the end were quite pretty

 

Longest day is pretty good except they dont use the proper canadian flag.
