[Philbert]

God Is My Copilot

(Yeah, Ace several of those were mentioned, in older posts.)

The Flowers of War

I still feel that Empire of the Sun has some of the deepest moments and most beautiful cinematography of most of the top 10 War flicks of WWII...that P51 flying over the airfield was stunning.

 

[luis1972]

Patton
Flag of our fathers
Letters from Iwo Jima
Tora Tora Tora

Stalingrad (1993)

That movie was a flop.

Thedor Plievier; Stalingrad-novel

All Quiet On The Western Front

World War II?

Did you actually read the book/watch the movie or is it just a proof of how limited your knowledge of history is?

 

[John_8581]

Some good films here. May I suggest the Young Lions with Marlon Brando, Montgomery Clift, and Dean Martin.



My top four:

My first two favorites are POW films.

Two classics The Bridge on the River Kwai with Alec Guinness, William Holden, Jack Hawkins, and Sessue Hayakawa.



Next, The Great Escape with Steve McQueen, James Garner, Richard Attenborough, James Coburn, David McCalum, Charles Bronson, Donald Pleasence, Gordon Jackson, James Donald, and Hannes Messemer



Then, Midway with Henry Fonda, Charlton Heston, Glenn Ford, Robert Mitchum, Hal Holbrook, James Coburn, Cliff Robertson, Robert Webber, Robert Wagner, Toshirô Mifune and James Shigeta



And lastly, The Battle of Britain with Michael Caine, Christopher Plummer, Ian McShane, Laurence Olivier, Trevor Howard, and the late Robert Shaw.

That movie was quite realistic if you compare it to Saving Private Ryan which was a typical Hollywood fairy tale.
