The Longest Day A bridge too far

Saint Ruth -> RE: best WWII movies? (3/14/2019 2:04:27 PM)
"White Tiger" is very good too. It's a Russian film and it's on youtube (subtitled): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiGDJ5-dXaI&t=363s Just note though, it's allegorical, it's about the nature of Evil. It ain't Saving Pt Ryan...

Blond_Knight -> RE: best WWII movies? (3/14/2019 2:14:00 PM)
ugh White Tiger! Didn't care for that one other than that it had a T-34. I thought Zvezda was much better.

Trugrit -> RE: best WWII movies? (3/14/2019 2:21:41 PM)
I always recommend The Train. https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1037789_train One of the best war movies and train movies ever. Gritty with sweat, blood and real trains. When French men were men and French women were women. K

Saint Ruth -> RE: best WWII movies? (3/14/2019 2:22:13 PM)
Is Zvezda this film? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcGC2JDh-pc

Blond_Knight -> RE: best WWII movies? (3/14/2019 3:13:39 PM)
Yes, excellent film. OK so the Germans aren't very accurate and the plot holes are big enough to drive a panzer grenadier company through. ;)

z1812 -> RE: best WWII movies? (3/14/2019 3:25:26 PM)

Conspiracy is an underrated gem!

Mobeer -> RE: best WWII movies? (3/14/2019 7:36:26 PM)
Well I thought about it, but the best WW2 movies just aren't from the last 40 years: The Cruel Sea (1953) The Battle of River Plate (1956) Ice Cold in Alex (1958) Where Eagles Dare (1968) Letters from Iwo Jima (2006)

Well mine is... In Harm's Way Yamato Kelly's Heroes Midway Pearl Harbor Das Boot Letters of Iwo Jima Flags of our Fathers Tora Tora Tora (isn't bad, but didn't show any actions) U-571 (good movie, but wasn't the American that took the uboat, it was Brits.) The Admiral and Saving Private Ryan.

pkpowers -> RE: best WWII movies? (3/15/2019 10:23:05 AM)
The Gallant hours The Blue Max All quiet on western front The Desert rats The desert Fox Dunkirk Das boot Stalingrad The Bedford incident(not ww2) Letters from Iwo Jima Band of brothers Pacific Breaker Morant (not ww2 , but my all time favorite war movie)

Crossroads -> RE: best WWII movies? (3/15/2019 12:52:11 PM)
For something different, the Finnish "Unknown Soldier" from 2017 was just published on Amazon. Based on a book written by a veteran, it covers a lot of ground, so I'd wait for the 5-part TV series version to become available. It was all filmed on a manner that they produced the two from the material done. A deleted scene: https://youtu.be/uMSqtVxRECs Edit: Or not deleted as such, but something that is included on the TV-series, but not on the movie version.

Great book. Finished it around Xmas time. quote: ORIGINAL: Crossroads For something different, the Finnish "Unknown Soldier" from 2017 was just published on Amazon.

Another PTO and on US soil. Retreat from Kiska (Japanese 1965) In 1943, the Aleutian island of Kiska was fortified by a small contingent of Japanese soldiers. When word arrived of an impending attack by an overwhelming force of Americans, the Japanese Navy attempted one of the most daring and unlikely evacuations in military history. When the US invaded, they found a couple of military dogs left behind.

Yogi the Great -> RE: best WWII movies? (3/16/2019 2:15:08 AM)
Ok, perhaps a bit over 40 years ago but I think that was offered as an approximate, A bridge to far and historic or not Midway was a good movie Take WWII our of it and just make it war best movie Gettysburg

Sahara a 1943 Humphrey Bogart movie https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0036323/ A real gritty black and white North Africa desert saga. All I could get was a brief YouTube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AepKyGLsZoI (there is a number of them). Sure wish there was a full length movie about this that could be posted for free.. Here's some more movie clips: http://www.tcm.com/mediaroom/video/222512/Sahara-Movie-Clip-Opening-General-Retreat.html TCM (Turner Classic Movies) (cable TV) is airing Sahara on Thursday, June 27, 2019 for those interested.

jimi3 -> RE: best WWII movies? (3/16/2019 8:46:00 AM)
Bravo on a great treasure chest of movies. I�ll add The Bridge. A classic. Auf Deutsch .

Crossroads -> RE: best WWII movies? (3/16/2019 8:55:51 AM)
A shout for the Saints and Soldiers series as well. Low budget, not perhaps with the most memorable plots either, but great detail to gear and equipment of the era for one.

Pvt_Grunt -> RE: best WWII movies? (3/16/2019 9:02:24 AM)
Only saw the first one. Pretty good movie and worth a watch
