"The Longest Day". Definitely. And its source book by Cornelius Ryan.

[Mark]

How about VietNam?-- "We Were Soldiers"--- very realistic- brought back memories.

[Vision]

I like any of the black and white south pacific ones.

[strick68]

"To Hell and Back" staring Audie Murphy. The story of the most decorated hero of WWII fighting with my beloved 3rd Infantry Division. They're on their way to Kuwait as we speak. "Rock of the Marne" and FReep on!!!

[zook]

"Twelve O'Clock High"

[C210N]

I recently saw The Great Escape... again. Clearly
a classic: Steve McQueen, Richard Attenboro, James Garnar,
Charles Bronson, and others of note.

"Das Boot" and "Stalingrad"-Both in German with subtitles are really good-
I enjoyed "We Dive at Dawn" more than I expected.

Enemy at the Gates (2001) starring Joseph Fiennes and Jude Law. Big budget European movie about Soviet snipers at the Battle of Stalingrad. Ed Harris played the Nazi sniper who tries to flush out his Soviet counterpart. This is available for rental at the video stores.

One of my favorites is "A Midnight Clear." Here is the IMDB page on it:

A Midnight Clear

Highly recommended -- I have seen it about 4 times, and it gets better every time.

[dighton]

The Bridge on the River Kwai.

If World War II-related comedy is admissible, Hail the Conquering Hero.

'White Christmas'

[Romanu Svperivs]

The original "Tora, Tora, Tora" on DVD is an eye opener, for it was directed not by just an American, but by a respected Japanese director as well.

The time sequences are well done, many in the Japanese and American military have said it was well done, as painful as it was to watch, since so many scenes were taken of real stock footage.

The Pacific theater was opened by this one.

It's worth the few dinare or bucks or pounds, screw the Euro.

[Alouette]

Saving Private Ryan
Schindler's List
Stalag 17
War at Sea [documentary]

[friendly]

My personal 5 star favorites:

Command Decision, From Here to Eternity, Pride Of The Marines, Saving Private Ryan, The Bridge On The River Kwai, and The Young Lions.

"A Bridge Too Far" - excellent photography.

"Soldier of Orange" - they cut some minor scenes out of the version dubbed into English; also available with subtitles.

"Stalag 17"

"Berlin Express" - filmed on location in Germany in 1946. Those aren't Hollywood sets.

[Semaphore Heathcliffe]

If you can find it, get a Russian movie called "Come and See." About Stalingrad, made by Russians, you get the picture...

One American made movie that came in completely under the radar is "When Trumpets Fade," about the Hurtgen Forest. Interesting story, intense combat scenes, very well-made.

Steve McQueen did a great WWII flick, the title I'm not sure. Think it was "The War Lover," or something like that. In the end, bringing his beat up aircraft back to England, he crashed into, think the cliffs of Dover. Was first time I noticed McQueen might make it as a serious actor.
