Re: Best World War II Films
The Great Escape and a Bridge to far are my favorites. The Great Escape is classic movie that I still enjoy even after watching it many times.
A Bridge to far is great as well, as it shows Operation Market garden, and focuses a lot on the troops stranded in Arnhem. It to, is an instant classic.
The Longest Day is also brilliant. It had everything on there from all sides. I also loved the fact that the Germans actually spoke German and not English with a German accent.

Re: Best World War II Films
Perhaps the title of the thread should be "FAVORITE WWII FILMS", not best films. How do you define Best: Cinematographically, musical score, acting, content? Also, Best implies that we've seen them all or at least a goodly portion of them...that's not going to happen unless you are a professional movie critic! Favorite, on the other hand, is a purely subjective process. My Favorite WWII films, based only on those that I've actually seen are the following:
1. DAS BOOT
2. SAVING PRIVATE RYAN
3. LONGEST DAY
4. A BRIDGE TOO FAR
5. TORA, TORA, TORA
6. TWELVE O'CLOCK HIGH
7. PATTON
8. BRIDGE ON THE RIVER KWAI
9. THE GREAT ESCAPE
10. THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIFE
While not movies, I would also recommend the following two TV series: DANGER, UXB a 1979 English production seen here originally via PBS. It's the story of a small bomb disposal Royal Engineer unit defusing unexploded German bombs and rockets in London during WWII. The other recommendation is the legendary documentary VICTORY AT SEA which most of us have seen at one time or another since the '50's. Twenty six episodes, running a total of 780 minutes, it's the definitive history of the US Navy in all theatres of operation during WWII.

Sorry, I just had an embolism when I read that.
Yes, in what other movie can the hero's airplane morph into different aircraft on his way to land, finally winding up at an F9F Panther crashing on the deck!

My top 5 WW2 tip movies would be :
' Idi i smotri ' or 'Come and see' : Belarussia 1985
' Talvisota ' or 'Winter war ' : Finland 1989
' Das Boot ' : Germany 1982
' Soldaat van Oranje' or 'Soldier of Orange' : Holland 1977
' The Cross of Iron ' : USA 1977
Especially the first two are really awesome movies ,with a bit of googleing you can find 'em all on the net .
