quote: For me I'd have to say one of the most realistic to me would be the big first battle scene in The Battle of the Bulge. The 1965 film of Ken Annakin with Charles Bronson, Henry Fonda, Robert Ryan, Telly Savalas & Robert Shawn ?

Heh yeah most of ww2 looks good except "enemy at the gates", medieval or something "swordesque" sadly Lord of the Rings probably looked the best. Also here's fine massive melee footage, thats most likely how barbarian bands clashed, enjoy: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-461204008842817903&q=Russian+fight

quote: ORIGINAL: Mogami quote: ORIGINAL: Zap The movie(for me) which depicted the most realistic battle scenes had to be BRAVEHEART. Hi, Braveheart? Braveheart? The director said "I won't let history get in the way of the story" The battle scene for the Battle of Stirling Bridge didn't even have a bridge. There was nothing historical or realitic about the movie Braveheart. (among a number of things 1. There was already a scott King and it was a dispute among scotts that led to their inviting the english to arbitrate (The english did not trick the Scotts and then massacure them) 2. The French princess was under 12 year old 3. The forces at Stirling bridge were fairly even (6400 Scotts versus 6700 english) with the Scotts holding the better ground. They had 400 longbowman verus 350 english heavy cav. (compare this ratio to that at Crecy 50 years later) Funny, that reminds me on our discussion about Troy movie one year ago, I think....(still believe that this movie is crap)

Hello... Ancient - "Lord of the Rings" WW I - "All Quite on the Western Front" WW II - "Tora! Tora! Tora!" WW III - "On the Beach" Over All - "Duck Soup" Bye... Michael Wood

Mike, I'll agree with Tora, Tora, Tora. The Pearl Harbor scenes were excellent. If you're watching for the first time, you'll wonder if you had seen it before. That's because they tried to (and did a fair job of it) reproduce some of the famous photos from the actual battle. Another favorite of mine is the Bastogne artillery bombrdments in Band of Brothers. Something about that episode just had a feel like you were right there...

For your information, 'Tae Guk Ki' of Ronda and 'Brotherhood' of Wodin is the same film.

Das Boot in the uncut version is fantastic - about the best war movie I have seen - nobody will do a sub film to touch it

Wuotan -> RE: Most realistic battle scenes in a movie (3/14/2006 1:36:53 PM)
Just a little input: the opening scene in "Gladiator" isn�t that great by detail... teutonics dressed like Neandertalers, ballistas in a forest... and that forest is for sure no typical forest in ancient ger- many. To friendly and "tidied up". And wrong trees. My two pence, TL.

gunny -> RE: Most realistic battle scenes in a movie (3/15/2006 4:52:56 AM)
A couple honorable mentions: I thought Stalingrad was pretty good all round. Authentic equipment and good pak vs T34 battles. Dubbing was really bad tho. and the best small arms pistol fight goes to....the way of the gun[:'(] I know its not a war movie but it was the best choreographed protracted gun battle going. Complete with magazine changes, reloading. Crippling extremety hits, glass impaling, leading to a realistic out of ammo out of blood death ending even tho they had bullet proof vests. Cant get more real.

quote: ORIGINAL: JallaTryne We probably automatically associate war with WW2 in most cases? But I agree, that was a very cool scene. I also remember a scene from a Finnish movie about the finnish winter war. The scene was very vivid, but I cannot remember the film JT It simply called "the winterwar" in finnish ofcourse. And i have to say that this one is the most realistic film i have seen, ofourse i have not been to any wars, but i did military service in the Artillery and by god they have got that thing right in this movie. I suggets you try to get a hold off a copy, its well worth a look. And i dont think you will be content with only watching it once. The battle scenes is just outstanding. And the way they manages to portrait heavy Artillery fire is without equall.

GoodGuy -> RE: Most realistic battle scenes in a movie (5/26/2006 5:13:12 AM)
quote: ORIGINAL: iaidoka2 The opening scenes of Enemy at the Gates were pretty good. The scene where every 2nd russian just gets an ammo strip but no rifle and where u see the troops crouching in small ferries?......Ferries spilling troops to hold the left bank at all costs. Great scenes, and halfway correct historically, afaik. The russian sniper's rifle resides in a Museum in Russia, nowadays. Btw, both scenes have been used in the game "Call of Duty".
