WW2 movies!!

Recently I have been really struggling to find movies I really enjoy. I have grown tired of horror movies, zombie movies etc. for now. Normally those would be my go to genres but as of late I find myself turning them off because I get bored of them.

With that said, I have recently discovered the world of WW2 movies and I am HOOKED. I think I have found a new favourite genre.

The history and the stories pull me in and have my full attention for the entire duration. I am just wondering, what are the best WW2 movies to check out and are there any hidden gems out there that are must sees?

Thank you in advance.

A classic and 'must see' in my mind:

 

Cross of Iron
633 Squadron
The Enemy Below
In Harm's Way
and for comedy, Kelly's Heroes

 

Another great one:

 

Great cast!

 

Here's another good one:

 

This one takes a few liberties (as opposed the factually accurate SPR. ) but is another classic:

 

Details....

 

Kelly's Heroes is hilarious
Battleground 1949 is about a small unit in the Battle of the Bulge

 

A Bridge Too Far is the best of them all. Everything else must be measured by how close they can come to that epic work.

Agreed, A Bridge too Far is epic!

I just got a new copy on BlueRay, but haven't watched it yet. Lengthy old film, so I need to find some time.

 

(The book is better.)

 

My favorite lines of the movie:

 

"I've selected you to lead us, not only because of your outstanding fighting ability...but in the event you are captured they would assume by your attire that you're a wretched peasant and immediately send you on your way."

 

Classic! I think in the movie that is Horrocks giving Vandeleur a 'pep talk'? Edward Fox is great in that role, and Caine gives a delightful performance, too.
