Best War Movie Ever?

[Cavedweller]

Just remembered this one from the late '70s. Not a movie but a mini-series, much like Band of Brothers. 13 episodes that will get you hooked right away. Excellent acting and realistic production. Story of British bomb disposal units in the London blitz. Full episodes used to be on YT but I don't see them anymore. Looks like it is available on AcornTV and Paramount+. Here's a review:

For those with a hankering for Foreign Films (with subtitles) about WW2. Try this Polish film.

This one was pretty darn good. Superb acting.

Breaker Morant (1980) - IMDb

Breaker Morant: Directed by Bruce Beresford. With Edward Woodward, Jack Thompson, John Waters, Bryan Brown. Three Australian lieutenants are court martialed for executing prisoners as a way of deflecting attention from war crimes committed by their superior officers.

RE : Post #141
Mini-Series Subjects. I remember that one. But I wasn't really a big fan at the time.

Hummmm.......speaking of "Nazi Treasures" and leftover presents, etc..... etc......

Yeah.......having said that.......
I think it was on PBS (long ago) when I saw a mini-series about the British counterfeit 5-pound notes. Yup....even today the notes still appear from time to time.

Sorry, but I couldn't remember the name of the series. Maybe one day I'll run across it on YouTube.

Note : Today we see counterfeit money that comes out of Peru, N. Korea, etc...... Yeah, could they also be "Government Sponsored Notes?" I'd venture to guess that even China may/might have a hand in it. Or maybe just sitting on a stash?

Aloha, Mark

I was getting restless today and decided that I wanted to watch a Korean War movie. But which one do I watch?

I was considering doing an update to the detailed breakdown of responses that I posted last Memorial Day.

But after all of Mark's additional offerings, I think I will just skip it

Mele Kalikimaka Mark!

 

[Ura-Ki]

Best Recent War Movie for me is "Grey Hound" a story about the Battle for the Atlantic, based on historical actions, and the book Good Shepperd, a VERY well portrayed movie that takes place during a fictional, but historically accurate Crossing of the Atlantic by American and Allied Convoys to support and build Great Britton's fight against the Nazi's during WW-II! If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it!

 

[diagoras]

The supposed end of the war in the Balkans

Slavic language with English subtitles

Terrifying... some call it a horror movie as much as a war movie

Also I don't think anyone mentioned "The Bridge at Remagen"... did they?

 

[Tony617]

I like "The Siege Firebase Gloria". We see an M14 in some scenes in the beginning of the movie.

 

[pharmseller]

Zulu!

 

[hongkong2]

I didn't see Fire Base Gloria mentioned, R. Lee Ermey doing his thing.

 

[GWS]

Do Indian Wars count?
Assuming it's yes I offer

Duel At Diablo
and
Ulzana's Raid

 

[ma96782]

This is kind of a "recent one". Sniper v sniper, the Korean War from a Chinese perspective.

Probably mentioned (I hope) somewhere in these 8 pages..but my personal favorites are The Longest Day and Patton

 

[nwslopoke]

Surely the OP means battlefield movies, but spy/espionage films like Notorious, Casablanca or The Train are as good, imo. They cover either the build up to WW2 or life during it.

 

[Bacchus]

Enemy at the Gates
The Pacific

Are you a reader? I pick up books about the wars for cheap at estate sales. If you're interested in George Patton I'd ship you his book "War as I Knew It", first copy, 1947. It's mostly writings from his notes during WWII. It will give some real incite on what the man was made of. Made me realize that, had it been someone else in his shoes the war in Europe could have gone very differently.
