What WWII Film would you remake?

Hi Band of Brothers and Saving Private Ryan were very successful and centred on Normandy. If you could have Steven Speilberg and Tom Hanks to make a WW11 movie of your choice what theatre, campaign wouuld it be?

Remake of bridge too far? North Africa, Hollywood version of Stalingrad, Battle of Britain, Fall of France maybe? Give me your suggestions!

I personally would like to do something on Italy, Monte Cassino! Or Fall of Berlin!

 

Tobruk...the original wasn't even about the real battle just some commando raid.

 

Pleeeease!

There is a chapter in the forum for this kind of talk!!

"WWII Activities and Hobbies" -> "WWII Films & TV"

 

Speilberg has so many personal bias against Germans in that era I wouldn't want him making a movie about the Eastern Front.

 

Bias against the Germans? Maybe because they were the bad guys? 'Das Reich' division, which would burn 600 people alive in a church at Oradour-sur-Glane?

By the way, Steven Spielberg is producing and Clint Eastwood will direct a re-make of "Flags of our Fathers", the battle for Iwo-Jima.

 

another land based movie..........good grief ! how about an air to air combat like Schweinfurth or and evening raid like Nürnberg. I could think of others and with the high teech graphics availble these days............heck I'll wait since it will come in time.

why was the Oradour item brought up I wonder ?

S.S. of course is biased he is Jewish, but so what..........he is a talented artist

 

Probably a movie on naval combat, in the Pacific for a change. There haven't been any good movies on the pacific out recently. The last one i remember was Pearl Harbor, and that was a sore disapointment.

 

I think one on Bataan and the aftermath would be interesting and cover all of subjects. POWs, fall of Philipines, and could finish with the Rangers rescue at the end of the war.

What do you think?

From a naval point of view what about the battle for Midway?

 

From the standpoint of a naval movie, I think I would like to see a movie about the naval battles that took place in and around the Slot, during the Guadalcanal operation. A close second would be a movie about the actions surrounding Leyte Gulf.
