    A new member of the Forums, (an extremely well read historian), sent me this 'short' list of 100+ WWII films he has seen. He broke them down into categories and I though it was very interesting collection of films. The list highlighted many of the great WWII films out there, brought to my attentions some films I had never heard of, and reminded me of some classics that I forgot about. For my part, and for those who might want to know a bit more about these films, I went through the list and linked all the films to their corresponding page over at the Internet Movie DataBase. To take a look at this collection of films, click this link:

    I'm not really sure what I'm going to do with this info, but I thought some of you guys might like to take a look.

    He's obviously not too keen on the air war - he left out Twelve O'Clock High, The Dambusters, 633 Squadron and the Battle of Britain ! :eek:

    Tell him to get round to my house & I'll put the videos on.... :D

    I'm missing "Come and See" by Klimov - my No. 1 WWII anti-war movie ever! :sad:

    Nice list, anyway.

    Cheers,

    No "Ice cold in Alex" :eek: one of the best war films ever made (and one of the most humane)
    The scene where John Mills pulls the dog tags off the German spy, Brill [​IMG]

    .. and the Teller mine which turns out to be an old tin can.... :D

    Totally agree Redcoat - for me it's one of the best-ever British war films.

    I saw it years ago on A&E, it was a very welldone war movie.

    Any of you guys ever see a movie called: "Fixed Bayonets"? If not--I highly recommend that one. :D

    Poor old Italian theatre gets left out again; no Anziofor example, and I was very surprised not to see the classic of classics, A Walk In The Sun. :confused:

    Anzio--with Robert Mitchum and Peter Falk was good--I especially loved the ending with the fight with the German Snipers.

    I thought "A Walk In The Sun" sucked.

    "To Hell and Back" was also partly in the Italian theatre.

    Very, very interesting list! That taught me that I am still very young and that I have not watched the 90% of those films! And now I hate the bloody Bluckbuster a lot!!! :mad: They don't have even "Patton" !!!!!!!!
