ROCKS OFF - The Rolling Stones Message Board

I know,theres too many movies about ww2,most of them are really bad,and not accurate.Past 10years few of them were really standouts,but i really like is
Hitler:Rise of evil,,Robert Carlyle makes a stunning performance,and really show how maniac hitler really was,allready since he was born.

Another one is German movie:Der untergang(downfall),which is hitlers last days in the bunker.

I remember "The Bunker" about Hitler last days, the one with Anthony Hopkins is good, here's a site that has a lot of good movies about WW2.
"http://www.worldwar-2.net/world-war-2-on-film/world-war-2-on-film-index.htm"

Patton & Schindler's List for me. Thanks for posting the link, HOS - it helped jog the memory.

People need a movie to show what a maniac Hitler was? :D

I took a tour of Normandy with this man a couple of years ago: http://www.tours-international.co.uk/Tours/Military+Tours/William+C+C+Cavanagh

Mr. Cavanagh claims that Band of Brothers is the most historically accurate, true-to-life dramatization of war that he knows of.

I don't know if a miniseries classifies as a "movie," but I could watch BoB many times over.

saving private ryan and schindlers list

:wtf1

" I know,theres too many movies about ww2,most of them are really bad,and not accurate.Past 10years few of them were really standouts,but i really like is .... "

Some of my personal favorites :

Platoon
Apocalypse Now
The Deer Hunter
Full Metal Jacket

..... to bad we Americans lost this one :(

Eastwood's "Flags Of Our Fathers" and the companion piece "Letters From Iwo Jima" are both excellent, imo.

"A Midnight Clear" is another.

And I always watch "The Great Escape" when it's on...

Downfall . . . best Hitler ever. :Youmakeagrownmancrylikejoey

Patton
Private Ryan
The Pianist

Das Boot...for WWII, The Big One...

Apocalypse Now Redux for Viet Nam

M*A*S*H* for Korea

All Quiet On The Western Front... for WWI, The War to End All Wars

STRIPES and Private Benjamin for the Cold War

Glory...The American Civil War

and there is an AMAZING silent film, the name slips me at this time, about the Mexican-American War I once watched at the East Wing of National Gallery of Art

Watched the Guns of Navarone again last night. I love that movie.

As a Bogart fan I nominate The Caine Mutiny

joey....typical. I recognized your foul stench when i was brought on board.

sean, have you seen this?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sw92FTSpJSc

Stalingrad is exellent!

So is Band of brothers,i would say that it was the best,but it was a tv-series.

The Longest Day
Kelly's Hero's
The Dirty Dozen
Von Ryan'sExpress

Casablanca

In Which We Serve

Hope & Glory

Das Boot

Downfall is excellent... as well as the HBO mni band of brothers... The Pacific should be just as good, comes on in a few weeks... I really like Stalingrad, from the German POV. Schindlers List and Pianist devistate me emotionally everytime I see them...

as far as The Holocaust is concerned, 'Shoah' is the definitive account.

No older ones?

Dambusters
Cruel Sea
First of the Few
The Longest Day

serious movies--Das Boot, Downfall, Cross Of Iron, Talvisota, Stalingrad
movies that were well-made but poor on details---The Longest Day, Guns Of Navarone
fun--Inglourious Basterds, Kelly's Heroes, Dirty Dozen, Von Ryan's Express
tried too hard---Midway, Saving Private Ryan, Band Of Brothers

The Train is my fav. Inglorious Basterds is absurd rubbish IMO. As far as WW1 is concerned then 'Paths of Glory' is outstanding.

Does Band of Brothers count as a movie? If so, that's mine.

Inglorious Basterds (or whatever the stupid misspelling is, just another thing I hate about the movie) is indeed rubbish.

For WWI, I liked All Quiet On The Western Front and in a "guilty pleasure" sort of way, The Blue Max.

Oooh, ooh! I liked Eastwood's 2 Iwo Jima movies too, and also liked Enemy At The Gates. Haven't seen Stalingrad but need to.

Untergang was the Best. Hitler. Ever, although I'm getting tired of the scene that's on Youtube as "Hitler Finds Out..." (Hitler finds out Michael Jackson is dead, Hitler finds out Scott Brown won, Hitler finds out Jesus is Gay, etc)

I saw Battle Ground for the first time the other night and really enjoyed it. Van Johnson was great!

'Red thin line' of course.

THIN RED LINE WAS VERY UNDERRATED,GREAT FLICK
I AM THE BIGGEST TARANTINO FAN THERE IS,BUT INGLORIOUS WAS NOT GOOD.

Yes, Thin Red Line is gorgeous.

I'm a big fan of the Dirty Dozen.
