1942 !!!!!

Tora! Tora! Tora!
The whole movie is a set up for the last line in the movie "I fear we have awaken a sleeping giant" (or something pretty close to that).

I need to rent that one, as well as "The Longest Day", and see what they are like.

Pearl Harbor, it has some awesome scene's once you get through the love saga.
Posted by Sizzle (Member # 503) on :
The Thin Red Line. Though it was excruciating to watch. As it it was long and not very good.

A brigde too far...good movie, good book, and also a must for WWII history / movie fans.
Posted by Harry P (Member # 533) on :
All of the above... plus, "The Great Escape".

A Bridge Too Far and Tora Tora Tora ............ both are totally factual ......... no "human interest" or "romantic" crap thrown in to try to make them box office hits
Saving Private Ryan is also an extremely powerful WWII movie .......... I think it is probably the greatest "Anti-War" movie ever made ........... thruthfully portrays the horrors of war

I believe that movie is "Enemy at the Gates"
and
Battle of Britain.

I'm like the old B&W war movies, e.g. The Longest Day, Sands of Iwo Jima, Midway, The Battle of the Bulge, To Hell & Back, etc. There's a ton of them out there.
The Big Red One The Great Escape The Bridge on the River Kwai
And don't forget, for great historical accuracy, get all seasons of Hogans Heroes!

Yah, that's it. And I always liked "Stalag 17".

The Great Escape. I have it on Laserdisk, the format that preceeded DVD.
Posted by BadRag (Member # 1566) on :
Enemy at the Gate is good, The Big Red One, Iron Cross (James Coburn) Saving Private Ryan, The Blue Max (WWI) Night of the Generals (Murder Mystery) along with the above, plus others I'll think of later...There was also one about Rommel that was pretty good.
