WW2 movies

[another generation]

The most disturbing film I’ve seen is Son of Saul, which is set over 24 hours in the crematoria of Auschwitz-Birkenau.

Following your mention of this, I’ve already downloaded and watched the film. Visited Auschwitz-Birkenau only a couple of weeks ago...

I liked Hacksaw Ridge, even if littered with Americans.

Great film that.

Others I rate

Bridge over the River Kwai.
Enemy of the Gates and Stalingrad
The Dirty Dozen
Saving Priate Ryan.
Inglorious Bastards

Worst - Pearl Harbour

 

[Mr Ed (The Stables)]

Sink The Bismark and I was Montys Double (True Story) are fantastic back in the day films. If you can stand reading subtitles then two films depicting true stories, Max Manus Man Of War and Flame and Citroen are superb.

While not films exactly, Das Boot and Band of Brothers were both brilliant.

.

On the contrary, Das Boot is one of THE best war films Ive seen

Darkest Hour has to be right up there . Also Kelly's Heroes, a Bridge Too Far and Where Eagles Dare are also favourites of mine along with serveral others already mentioned. Shindlers List is excellent but a really tough watch. The boy in the striped pajamas is also an interesting film.

Agreed on that, nimrod.

Is it about the luggage area of a Merc ?

I wasnt keen on Darkest Hour, but I did like Dunkirk.

I saw a Hungarian film about the Holocaust which I thought better than Schindler's List but got a lot less publicity, cant remember the name but it was superbly well made.

Son of Saul, @Prestwich_Blue mentioned it earlier.

If we are talking about films made during WW2 -
Weht The Day Well?
Pimpernel Smith
Freedom Radio
Cottage To Let
Atlantic Convoy
Casablanca
One Of Our Aircraft Is Missing
The Day Will Dawn
Mrs. Miniver
The Lion Has Wings
In Which We Serve
First Of The Few
Unpublished Story
Advantures Of Tartu

must say I do like Talking Pictures channel 328, these films were all produced really as propaganda films as the outcome of WWII was far from certain, could add Sherlock Holmes films, Arthur Askey and George Formby as well

Add San Demetrio London to those based on a true story course you have to like black and white films.
