WWII Movies

So, who's a bit of a fanatic? Any recommendations for classic World War II movies?

Or even series?

I was hooked on BBC's Colditz TV Series. Watched them one after another.

the longest day.
the train (one of my favorite movies)
a bridge to far
dirty dozen
patton
tora tora tora

Where Eagles Dare

The Eagle Has Landed

I grew up loving the Sunday afternoon war film, mainly as it was the rules to have it on - according to my Dad.

Tora Tora Tora is my fave
and Battle of Midway

A good friend and I made a homage to Tora Tora Tora after becoming obsessed with the amount of paper passing during the film..(we were quite stoned)

Kelly's Heroes - what a great start to a war movie
Above us the waves
Dambusters
The Black Book
Carve her name with pride

Band Of Brothers (modern classic)

The Great Escape
Ice Cold in Alex
The Man Who Never Was

Ice cold in alex - one of my all time favourites (most war film with john mills in are worth watching imo)
633 squadron - a child hood favourite

I always enjoy films seen from the side of the 'enemy', such as:

Stalingrad
Das boot
Downfall

I also found 'Flags of our fathers' & 'letters from iwo jima' to be very moving

escape to victory

Hell in the Pacific
the thin red line

Cross of Iron - an absolute bloody classic

das boot
Stalingrad
the great escape
and of course kelly's heroes

Cross of Iron - an absolute bloody classic

forgot about cross of iron! Classic!

Band Of Brothers (modern classic)

and it's 'sister' show - The Pacific

didn't enjoy band of brothers, just didn't engage with the characters like i did in BOB

Hannibal Brooks - another childhood favourite

didn't enjoy band of brothers, just didn't engage with the characters like i did in BOB

If you mean you didn't enjoy The Pacific, I concur. It felt like they were just trying to redo BOB but weren't really bothered

I did mean the pacific yes, Cpt. Winters was an amazing man he made the first series for me.

Damian Lewis great acting too

also loved Scott Grimes & Ron Livingston too. Always forget David Schwimmer and Simon Pegg are in it oo

Memphis Belle.
