Well I didnt like it....... There wasn't much Nazi Killin' as the hype made it out to be. At first it reminded me of Kelly's Hero's...... then after awhile I just got kind of bored with it. There were no subtitles and 1/2 the movie was either French, German and some Italian. Anyways, its a total fantasy movie, don't believe any, "based on an actual group of jews" bs or anything like that..

Kellys Heroes rocks!
Very Happy

It´s awesome (for comedy).

Western Front, I prefer the old version made in the 30´s I guess. Have them both on DVD. Good movies.
What about Paths of Glory? Great movie. French should do a revisited version of it.

Hey, kelly's heroes is a really good film, I love it, very fun movie and also a realistic belic film. Dont forget another classic: The iron cross Where Clint Eastwood was Sgt. Steiner on the axis side fighting at Crimea against the USSR. Das boot it's nice too, as Platoon. But none of theese movies it's funny such as Kelly's Heroes.

Essential movies for me:

The Iron Cross

Das Boot

Save Private Ryan

Stalingrad

The Battleship Potemkin (avoiding political valorations).

Raza (Spanish civil war movie, very interesting to understand the ideary of Dictactor General Franco in Spain avoiding political valorations too).

Empire of the Sun is one of my all time favorites. It's about a young boy growing up & lost in the Japanese internment camps. Like a coming of age story. I watched it as a boy and even then many of my interests were in WW2 history so this movie was perfect for me. When my son gets older I plan on showing him this film.

The young boy is Christian Bale, directed by Steven Speilberg. If you have not see it, go do it now! Heart wrenching ended.

Perhaps you think as Lt. Rico from Starship Troopers : " The air force strolls while the infantry fights"
But don't forget that the bombers must arrive to the objective before droping their bombs. It wasn't easy for the Flying Fortresses to survive at the flack and fockewulf attacks on their way also the fighters had less fuel and could only scort them on short distances above the enemy lines. In WW2 many of the US losses were on the sky.

Without the "Flying Fortress" and the "Liberators" droping bombs over the axis industry, hitler's war machine would have never been shooted down. Besides the blitzkrieg was based not only on tanks also on stuka bombers. I think now that planes fly at match X speeds the "dog fight" of WW (I and II) it's impossible, but it was a really nice duel on the European sky. Its incredible, for example, how the RAF Spitfires had to stop de V-2 missiles by reaching the same speed of the rocket and desestabilizing them by rubing with their wings.

The V weapons may have been less than perfect as a "destuctive" weapon but I think they were far more successful as a psycological weapon. Prehaps the ww2 version of the I.E.D.

And yes, please don't forget that whilst the USAAF headed out over occupied Europe day after day the RAF did it night after night. And although Bomber Commands war may now be much maligned, the young crews were in no less danger and showed the utmost bravery. And just as with all the other branches of all the armed forces, many thousands never returned.

Saving Private Ryan - especially the last sequence when U.S. dug-in against heavy German armoured assault, that was amazing how real the directors made it seem

A Bridge Too Far - probably the best cast of actors ever assembled for any movie...period. Lots of authentic warbirds in action too.

The Longest Day - John Wayne at his best

Inglorious Basterds is a great movie, but like Apocalypse Now, it isn't a war movie per se. IB is a Tarantino movie spoken in three languages, with LOTS of violence, stylish violence if you ask me Wink

. But it's basically a Tarantino movie, with mexican standoff included, a female badass, and the topic of killing for fun flying around the whole movie. Very entertaining, i hadn't had so much fun in the cinema in many years until i saw this movie. But it isn't a war movie. It feels more like a cold war movie but it happens in a WW2 period.

Iron Cross is great set on the eastern front....Stalingrad is great and also....Winter War

In 1943, in the Russian front, the decorated leader Rolf Steiner is promoted to Sergeant after another successful mission. Meanwhile the upper-class and arrogant Prussian Captain Hauptmann Stransky is assigned as the new commander of his squad. After a bloody battle of Steiner's squad against the Russian troops led by the brave Lieutenant Meyer that dies in the combat, the coward Stransky claims that he led his squad against the Russian and requests to be awarded with the Iron of Cross to satisfy his personal ambition together with his aristocratic family. Stransky gives the names of Steiner and of the homosexual Lieutenant Triebig as witnesses of his accomplishment, but Steiner, who has problems with the chain of command in the army and with the arrogance of Stransky, refuses to participate in the fraud. When Colonel Brandt gives the order to leave the position in the front, Stransky does not retransmit the order to Steiner's squad, and they are left alone surrounded by the enemy and having to fight to survive. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

A squad of German soldiers fighting on the Eastern Front during WWII led by a battle-hardened sergeant fight to survive Soviet attacks and dogmatic commanders in a chaotic and lethal environment in this sympathetic portrayal of another side of the war not commonly portrayed in Hollywood film. Written by Keith Loh {loh@sfu.ca}

The film opens with a squad of seasoned German soldiers, led by a disillusioned but skilled sergeant, on a patrol on the Russian front in WWII. They return to base to find a new commander, a traditional Prussian officer who wants only one thing from his command - An Iron Cross to maintain his family honor. The scene is set for a graphic portrayal of the horrors of war and of the conflict between two men of differing

Wow, I can't believe people enjoyed Inglourious at all, I found it utterly crap. Tarantino has lost it, Jackie Brown was his last film of any quality, and along with Pulp Fiction and Res' Dogs those are the only 3 worth watching. Reason; Scripts. I can't remember a single memorable line in Inglourious, however Pulp Fiction etc... every single line is memorable.

Lots of violence? I can't remember any of that in IB either... just talking and boredom.

Iron Cross as described by tgierut would be a much better film to watch, I can verify that, it's an absolute classic.

Hey Tippi-Simmo

There is a thing over here at the moment called the Piaf Film Season

One of the movies in it is Finnish, called Max Mannus

Says he was a guerilla fighter against the Nazis.

It says " A charming rogue who led some of the most spectacular attacks on the Nazi war machine"

The film apparently is pretty good, a 3 1/2 stars out of 5 from a non war lover

Have you seen it? If so, what are your comments

The plot of belle-epoque-family-home-atmosphere far away from war in contrast to the eye deep hell of western front seems to be a winning one. So pretty females are a must as well as displays of teutonic battle fury. Battlescences are just fullfilling common idea about WWI-warfare and are ony to illustrate the hellish opposite (war torn old europe?) of the tidy home, far away.

If only Peter Jackson would follow his WWI interest would make a movie with at least impressive fotography: Crossing the Line

I personally doubt that we would see a new WWI-movie as accurate and intriguing as original "All quite on the Western Front" from 1929/30.

Love Kelly's Heroes, but it's not a War Film, but a Bank Heist. Donald Sutherland (Oddball makes that filem).

Cross of Iron. Great war film. Nothing Hollywood in it. Worth it just for that bit at the end where Stransky turns to Steiner saying he doesn't know how to reload his MP40 in the midst of all the shite flying around, and Steinder roaring with laughter. Classic.

There are a lot of good War Films outside of the Hollywood fantasy portrayals (though they did make one or 2 excellent ones). Not all of them filmed from the point of view of military combat (Schindler's List for example).

On the other hand, for those that go back far enough, there are the classic British productions such as Norman Wisdom in The Night they Dropped the Clanger. A bit silly really, but had me fascinated as a boy. 633 Squadron, the Dam Busters...

Band of Brothers is superb as a close up and personal account of war at the time. Again, not a drop of Hollywood in sight. Then there's not much more gut renching than the opening of Saving Private Ryan. Even though I knew what was coming, it took my breath away.

Hi war movie buffs

1st, i'd like to mention some cool war movies so far unmentioned

"CATCH 22" is truly a classic war movie, with many memorable moments, particularly the man on the raft (ouch).
The Audy Murphy biography (cant remember its name)
"BEAST OF WAR" a story about a Russian tank crew in lost in Afganistan pursued by Mujahadin (GREAT Movie)
"Murphies War" something a little different Wink

My personal collection contains:
Apocalypse Now
Band of Brothers (box set)
Battle of Britain (great movie)
Bridge Too Far
Cross of Iron
Enemy at the gates
Jarhead (Iraq)
MacArthur (biography, i only got this coz i t came it a 2pack with MIDWAY)
Midway (an excellent movie for its time)
Patton (a Hollywood biography, i only got this coz i t came it a 3pack with TTT & TLD)
Platoon
Saving Private Ryan
The Longest Day (old DDay movie)
Thin Red Line
Tora Tora Tora (still the best Pearl Harbour movie)

Some of my previously unmentioned favourites are:

"Alls quiet on the Wewstern Front"
"Blue Max" (WW1 fighter ace movie)
"Bridge on the river Kwai"
"charlie mopic "
"Dam Busters"
"Das Boot" (german)
"Full Metal Jacket"
"Hamburger Hill"
"Iwo Jima"
"Memphis Belle" (great bomber movie)
"Stalingrad" (geman)
"The Lost battalion" (WW1 movie)

@ Tippi-Simo
1st, i think "Enemy at the gates" is a British movie, not US, because of the wide range of English/British accents Wink

2nd, i have not seen any of the Italian, French, Finish or Russian movies you have listed Sad

When i was a child i did see a subtitled Russian movie about the battle of Kursk, given the English title "One million men, 20,000 tanks!"
Have never heard of it since, i would love to see it again

P.S. Therion has that quote wrong, it should be: "Bombing for Peace, is like, Fucking for Virginity!"

Just to mention some blasts from the past

12 O'Clock High (1949) Gregory Peck's film launched the TV series
Battleground (1949) 1st Battle of the Bulge movie
From here to eternity (1953) 1st Pearl Harbor movie
The eagle has landed (1976 not a moon landing)

Also, U-571 (2000) was not too bad, though its 'H' rating is for 'Hollywood', not 'Historical'

Based on this American/Hollywood view that America, single handedly defeated both Germany, and Japan in WW2, Hollywood could make a series of WW2 movies:

KURSK Where General Patton and his legions of M4s defeat Manstein (not Zhukov and the t34s)

BISMARK, where the Bismark is sunk by aircraft from theYorktown after having decimated the British fleet.

EL ALAMAIN yet another US victory over the Germans

KOKODA, Where US troops drive the japs back from Port Moresby

STALINGRAD, Where US tropps liberate the city from the Germans

Recently watched 'Tali Ihantala 1944 - The Battle of Finland' ("free-hand" translation of the title, don't know if it have an official English title...)

The previous film I've seen by Åke Lindman was engaging and well-done, but this was only a realistic and beautiful mess!! I couldn't follow the plot, or the characters, and all I got was a over-all perspective of what happened... Really sad I must say.

Have 'We were soldiers' and 'Brotherhood of War' lying around for a dark and rainy night; -My hopes lays with 'Brotherhood', but I have to wait and see.

Today i've watched the new Russian/Belorus war movie, called "Brestskaya Krepost" (The Brest fortress). I must say i was shocked, i believe that is the best Russian war movie for at least last 20 years.

Quote:

That's a war drama based on historical facts that happend in Brest fortress in the first week of the German attack on USSR. It shows how the war started for the garrison and their families, sudden and brutal. The Germans are shown not cruel or stupid but strong and merciless, doing their job to clear the fortress fast and with as little casualties as possible.

You said it Mooxe!! I couldn't place my feeling, but this movie is like something you would watch during a history lesson. Shocked

And I can only agree on the battle scenes, they are well done. But there is something that bothers me with the Russian KV's; -They don't look right, but I don't know what I react on with them..?

Haven't you heard of the German carrier-fleet?
-Oh wait, was that history or the last time I played Hearts of Iron II? Razz

Seriously speaking, and a bit of topic; -the level of stupidity regarding history and common knowledge scares me sometimes.
I have two, relatively bright, teenage daughters, but every week I have to play this charade where I ask God what I've done wrong since he punish me with such stupid kids? (top 1 ever; -We live in Sweden and she asks "what was ABBA?")

And it's not only my kids! 26 years ago my history teacher said: "In the beginning of WW I, the German offensive was stopped by the Maginot line and that's why the war bogged down in four years of trench-warfare." (We never really got along after I asked her how they could built it in -16 years...) A few weeks ago my 16-year old came home from school and talked about how horrible it was when "...the English troops liberated Auswitch...", 'cause that's what her history teacher had said! (God damn! Those Tommies advanced far to long to the east!) And since I've brought some knowledge and interest to her, she had questioned her teachers claim and said that it wasn't English uniforms in the documentary they saw; -but he only said, "oh yes, it was English troops. Their uniforms looked like that!" Rolling Eyes

This is one of my favorite movies. If its playing on the History Channel I'll watch it anytime (like Braveheart). I can't remember many other Nick Nolte movies but in The Thin Red Line he does an amazing and unforgettable performance. He was so intense on the field.

If you like this type of movie, half war half emotion/psychosomething then you will probably like The Tree Of Life, its done by the same director and aparantly the same style of filming. I haven't seen it yet but I will as soon as I can...

today i acquired a dvd called "Assembly".
"makes letters from iwo jima look like a postcard" (total film magazine)

A weathered witness of war's insatiable appetite, Gu Zidi, Captain of the Ninth Company, will struggle his entire life to return honor to his forty six men and their self-sacrifice.
The year 1948 witnessed the launching of the Huaihai Campaign during the Chinese Civil War.
In one of Chinese history's deadliest battles, thousands from the People's Liberation Army (PLA) and the Nationalist Army (KMT) fell in the battle that took place between Xuzhou and Bengdu.
It was amid this bloody fight that Captain Gu Zidi led the Ninth Company infantry unit on a sniper mission.
His orders were to fight the KMT Army until the retreat assembly call was sounded....

highly recommended.
10 out of 10.

check out what IMDb say about it http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0881200/

I saw Age of Heroes a while ago, could've and should've been a lot better, wouldn't recommend it. Horrible ending, too.

Watched Miracle at St. Anna yesterday, a bit better, but not really sure about that one either. Too long, mediocre battle scenes, but I actually liked the supernatural theme to it and the rare portraying of black US soldiers, although they were not done justice I believe. One small scene which was memorable for me, was a prayer scene, where 3 nations in war do the same prayer for salvation, in three languages at the same time. Who is God gonna root for? Bless the US? Germany? Italy? Also, the Bandenbefehl sequence left a big impression, of course.

"A Westerner finds refuge with a group of women in a church during Japan's rape of Nanking in 1937. Posing as a priest, he attempts to lead the women to safety."

Was a good movie. I found it intense in many scenes. Action scenes were very gruesome. I reccommend to anyone here.

Question about it though. The Chinese soldiers defending the city were wearing what looked like to be German helmets, they had stick grenades as well. Is this Hollywood or fact?

I downloaded My Way. Very action packed war movie. Infact, the action was so over done, like a 1980s action flick movie on steroids, cocaine, x, bath salts etc etc. Like a typical overdone asian action movie, think of how unbelievable martial arts movies can be.

I did only skim through the movie. The guys were fighting Koreans, Russians and Americans (in Normandy). I have no idea how they made it to basically every front of WW2, I didnt care to find out either. The Normandy landing scene was pretty gamey... too much CGI and reminded me too much of computer games.

Fury - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2713180/

WW2 movie. Sherman tank crew embarks on a special mission.

Brad Pitt & Shia LaBeouf are in it. I am guessing there will be some comedy.

Could this be a remake of you know what?

I has heard of this one before. Looks like Pitt and LaBeouf trained with the army for the role.

Lately I have seen a couple of foreign movies and some low budget ones.
The Bomber, about a soviet bomber shot down and the partisans, of course!
Into the White, about a German plane and a British one that are shot down in Norway and the crews have to live together. With Ron Weasley, pretty good.
Fortress, about a B-17 crew. Memphis Belle with low budget.
The Border, a Swedish movie about some border guards that raid Norway.

Isn't it odd that a lot of the newer and low budget war movies, especially WW1/WW2 have actual equipment and vehicles that are correct for the period, where the huge budget movies of back in the 50's/60's/70's didn't?

Even the newer cheesy movies attempt to get actual movies. I watched one the other day (forget name) where saw an FMG42 used. How rare are those things even? German paratrooper weapon, US troopers in them attacking some super nazi base and "dragon lady blond" making some kind of zombies" as recall. The movies itself was terrible, but the weapons/uniforms was spot on all around. Gweher43, they had it 100%.

Why couldn't they attempt this 30-40 years ago when those things were everywhere?

Edit:

Looked up the name of this particular movie and it was called a "no budget" horror movie and remember it was cheesy to the max. "Devils of War" is the title. 2013 and happened to stream it several months ago online. Weapons/uniforms alone were the best part.. The 2 blonds were not bad either...

well, there are several mobile WW2 tanks (T34, Hetzer, T70, T60, SU-85, PzIV, etc) in Kubinka tank museum (http://www.tankmuseum.ru/) that they lease to film-makers.
like these:
White Tiger (Belyy Tiger) movie.
T-34s

Burnt by the Sun 2 (Utomlennie solntsem 2)
PzIV from museum on a foreground and T44 made to look like PzIV in the background.

Some immobile WW2 tanks:
BT-5

Matilda II

M3 Lee

nowadays they also make mobile models of WW2 tanks:

What is the name of the European made movie from the 200os that is fairly low budget production that has a Pak40, Hetzer, Stug, SDKFZ 251/1 Ketinkrad and multiple other moving German vehicles in it? It's a decent movie. Was looking for it a little awhile back, but stopped. Mistakenly thought it was another good movie called "Brothers War" but it is not.

Edit again here:

Researched some.. Brothers war does have a Hetzer also, but it's only at the beginning. Just watched it again. Also has a ketinkrad, Schwimwagon, K98, MP40.. Uni's look right and contrary to what many star studded films have (to me) a good story line. Maybe because it's unique, but I really enjoyed it.

It's not the one was thinking of anyway and still looking for that bonanza Axis vehicle movie that's being elusive so far.

Movie with all those actual vehicles is "Red Rose of Normandy" BTW. Finally found it again. Many have probably already seen it. Low budget, kind of cheesy, but liked it because of all of the vehicles and not that many WW2 movies even made really nowdays.

Tiger 131 made an appearance, Stug 4, Hetzer, Pak 40. That movie was a museum bonanza for us buffs who like to see real equipment.

Like seeing Aberdeen proving grounds in action.

I would describe it as lol.

I will now continue too read about it...

***Update,

This is the first Russian movie completely produced with 3D technology

Update: I have not seen it. They say don't judge a book by its cover. But in this case i think you can.

IF this is this is the movie you are referring to. Otherwise post a link.

hey mooxe, I was strongly against the director (Bondarchuk) after 9th Company, but I wastched this movie in IMAX 3d like 2 months ago with my wife and it was good - not a masterpiece but definitely a good war movie.
One should bear in mind that this movie is not about Stalingrad but about people in war - big drama. My wife started to cry during first minutes and couldn;t stop till the end. There was a total silence and just a women sobing in the hall - I've seen such only once, during Brest Fortress movie.

Recommended.

No offense to UK bomber crews intended here, but my dad said they pitied Lancaster crews. He said they looked like they weren't moving when they were flying and they only had .303's as main armament. Every time they went in the air during the daylight, they were far more likely to be attacked as the US bombers and by night? If one was hit? They turn around and could be rammed by another flying in further behind, so they had to fly on towards the target.

It was a terrible thing to fly in one of those slow, lumbering and under gunned things and my dad said they were proud of the UK crews for what they put up with.

have just watched it - second every word!
Awesome!

Point of notes for me:
no one is bad and no one is good - everyone is just a human beeing under the stress of War which gets the worst out of everyone.
what was really interesting to see was how the Poles and Ukranians were shown (probably the first time in movies) - no wonder the series was forbidden on TV there. Looks like their actions are remembered not only in Russia. Although it was forbidden on TV in Russia as well...
of course the German scares of what will be done will them when the RA soldiers come after their actions in the USSR.
the RA leutenant who stops soldiers that were going to rape women in a hospital - something really different in comparison to "2mlns raped in Berlin"(c) Beevor.

They showed that side of the truth, about the poles (btw they were not just them or the ukrainians but some russians like Bronislav Kaminski's troops as well, or Lithuanians, excetera...) , even in Schindler's list ( where Spielberg didn't show a proper perscution by the locals but underlined that they didn't like the Jews)...but certainly some of them helped also...

Both things are true in the end. In Berlin, it mostly happened that the first disciplined soviet lines were acting like that leutenant. But the second lines....

"unsere mutter, unsere vater" Just finished to whatch all the three parts.

Well i would say that i could see something differrent than many other war movies, and was interesting enough to see it untill the end but i don't think is this great as for example, platoon Surprised

...maybe more like Band of brothers Smile

(sure, each of us has his own taste Smile

)

It shows you a good drama, good stories, real sides of the war on the front line and not, but some times a bit unrealistic and some others with some stereotypes.

Compared to another german war movie that i've seen, i would say that Vilsmaier's "Stalingrad", still some times a bit unrealistic (ehehe in the end is true that some movies are a lot unrealistic, others less, but is even difficoult to find a 100% reality following movie) but from another planet :D

Still talking about german war movies, i would add Petersen's "Das Boot", one of my favs.

Just watched Judgement at Nuremberg.

Three hour movie, 1961, black and white set in Nuremberg, 1948. Four judges are on trial for basically working under Nazi law. Are they guilty for carrying out the laws that were legal at the time? Should they, or could they of objected?

Pretty good move. 8.3 on IMDB. I didn't even notice it was three hours. William Shatner was in it to. I found out about this movie by reading an article about the actor who died 1 Feb 2014, Maximilian Schell. He played the defense. You will recognize him from many WW2 films of the 1960-1970s and maybe 1980s by always playing a German officer. A Bridge Too Far and Cross of Iron just to name two.

The judge Spencer Tracy looked oddly like the old man from the animated movie Up. Couldn't get that out of my mind. I Google'd this afterwards and the character was actually modelled after Spencer Tracy, Walter Mathau and Jame Whitmore. Funny thing about watching old movies is you see where actors got their start, and how present movies give homage to the past.

Agree Mooxe. Actors in that movie, many early in their career playing parts that were so out of character to how we mainly remember them. The one who always stuck in my mind was Werner Klemperer from that movie. His arrogant character in that movie he portrayed was so different than the buffoon camp Kommadant from Hogan's heroes he became famous for, as well as most other parts he played later on.

I finally finished "Unsere matter Unsere Vatter" last night, known here as Generation War which is a silly name considering it translates easily from German to English?

I've decided it should be called "Seven people who inexplicablly continue to bump into each other during a 4 year War with millions of other people available to bump into!"- see end of post for why there is seven....

SPOILER WARNING
It was a stretch to believe these same people would continously meet up over and over, but -hey- thats movies for you.
Having said that, the series is VERY good to watch, I enjoyed it a lot how they portrayed the descisions that the 5 main characters needed make and how they affected them later.
Like Viktor joining up with anti - Semetic partisans, he agreed with their cause but was ultimately rejected by them.
And Friedhelm's conversion from objector to model soldier who carries out the most objectionable orders without protest, you could see early on he understood he would not survive.

It continues the change in how popular media portrays the war, going from 1950's proaganda (John Wayne] to 1960'saction/ comedy (Kelly's Heroes] and finally 1970's and later serious which began with Apocalypse Now.
These war movies now are less about the battles and more a setting for a character drama, which is OK with me.

btw - the number six is Liliya the medical aid who turns into a RA officer and delivers the worst line of the series when she stops the rape of Charly - her attitude streched my belief.
Number seven is Dorn the Gestapo officer who magically re-appears as a admin clerk after the surrender. It closed the loop on the Viktor story but again, what are the odds?

Theirs Is the Glory (1946)

A film about the Market Garden - operation made in 1946 in the real locations using many of the veterans of the actual battle. Very interesting, I think it's in the public domain meaning it's ok to watch it. It's on Youtube but I won't put the link here if that's against the rules or something. I liked it, some scenes were maybe a bit embellished such as casually going outside the headquarters and blowing away a German tank with a PIAT and then casually walking back in. But then again, these were the actual guys who were there, or at least some of them were.
