Cyber Fucker · 04-07-2011, 03:07 PM

Surprisingly, or... maybe not surprisingly, no one has mentioned "Casualties of war".

CYF · 04-07-2011, 03:29 PM

I watched Defiance last night on netflix, it was good

Cherry7 · 04-07-2011, 03:32 PM

I would add...

Battle of Britain.....shot with real aircraft without CGI
Dunkirk
The Cruel Sea - The war in the Atlantic
Sink the Bismark
Battleground - same story as band of brothers but made by people who were there
Attack
Army of Shadows _ French resistance movie
Come and See - Russian POV on fascist occupation
Soldiers of Orange - Verhovans film on the war in Holland before "Basic Instint"
More modern films "letters from Iwo Jimo" great film of America humanity...
The Bridge - German film, a few boys defend a bridge on the last days of war

I would like to add too

All Quiet on the Western Front - the best war film ever 1930 version

04-07-2011, 07:41 PM

A Walk In the Sun.

Doubt if it would qualify as one of the best but worth mentioning.

Enemy At The Gates

I once explained this movie to my boss,
"I'm not cannon fodder, I'm the sniper. Armies have their function, individuals have their function."
Neither of us work there now, but 8 years later still lunch when we can.

There is an amazing documentary series done in the 60's called

The world at War

It's available via torrent and has interviews with people like Hitler's secretary, Albert Spier and countless others.

Band of Brothers>The PAcific imho

Life is Beautiful .. not a traditional epic battle type war movie but still fantastic.

Dirty Dane · 04-08-2011, 02:01 AM

Must have collection:

BBC History of World War II

http://www.amazon.com/BBC-History-Wo.../dp/B0009941E8

It's a collection of different BBC documentaries from many major parts and places of the war.

Ride with the Devil- One of my favorite books made into a movie. It's about the civil war and how MO could not decide if they were fighting for the North/South. It turned into a State civil war and where the term Bushwacker came from.

150 years later they still fight. Living in KC, people from KS & MO still hate each other.
As in cop from MO fighting KS cop over who was going to bust a guy who drove drunk over the state line. The drunk snunk off, got home & free.
I've been stopped for "driving while Kansan"

My girlfriend won't watch movies I suggest, about 1/2 way through, she sat down & watched. Played it again. Now it's her favorite movie.
