Best ww2 movie?
Feb 13^th, 2010 at 3:33pm

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 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.

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)
