    The "Thin Red Line" was not the best ww2 movie.

    the worst i saw lately was "the bunker"
    about a german company trapped in a bunker with ghosts .

    what irked me is that they had SS tunics with cuff titles , whermach litzen and ALL the soldiers had 2 tank destruction awards on the right sleeve , every single one of them !!!!!! ....

    historically awful ...

    cheers,

    Lets see....to list some that come to mind....

    Not a big fan of Defiance. It is a great story but I thought they made the movie too long and I didn't like how it ended.

    Flags of our Fathers was ok, Letters from Iwo Jima was far better.

    S.S. Doomtrooper makes me want to gauge my eyes out....

    I know there are more, I just cant think of them right now...and it is not fair to say Defiance and Flags of Our Fathers are two of the worst WWII movies ever made (it is ok to say S.S. Doomtrooper is) they are just fresh in my mind.

    ....I don't know why you would every watch the bunker....did you not see the DVD box?

    But they couldn't possibly tell the whole story, it spanned the entire duration of the war! They had to limit it to a certain part of the war, but that part that was portrayed was very accurate and true to the book "The Bielski Brothers".

    Ok then it was just boring in general. It was accurate, why would that matter if it is long and boring.....

    It was alright, not that great acting, a little "corny" at times, especially the end.

    I have a new contender for the worst ww2 movie: Brothers war.
    I lasted for 17 minutes and I am still sorry for every and each one of them. I can't talk about the story because I didn't see it. The Germans were all clean shaved poster boys for Aryan race while the Russians were all like mongoloid thugs. The main German character never took more then two puffs from a cigarette before throwing it away – must had an endless supply I guess. In the one and same scene he had, from one angle a PPSH 41 and from the other STGW 44, both of which had to be re-cocked after every shot. 88' that didn't recoil, Russians only tactic was human wave …......

    Against this PH in Oscar material.

    Good one to list D-Day.

    Also, the lousiest one I ever saw, was: Battle For the Last Panzer, which had Klaus Kinski in it. Then there was one that had Wally Campo in it, which took place in North Africa-and the "Italian and or "German" Soldiers all wore RAD caps. This movie has to be either tied in 1st place as Worst War Movie ever-or in 2nd place. It's so bad that I can't even remember it's title and am too lazy to try looking it up on the IMDB site.

    I enjoyed Memphis Belle even though it isn't completely accurate. Even Saving Private Ryan had tons of flaws.

    Think of it as a nature documentary with a few battle scenes thrown in every once in a while to keep the audience from falling asleep.

    As bad as Pearl Harbor is - and as bad as it could have been (listened to one of the tech advisors at a Smithsonian lecture on the Pentagon and Hollywood talk about this) - it reinvigorated some interest into World War II, and had some awesome images (along with totally ridiculous ones); and as for the Elsa films, the Carradine-Reed film - we expect those to be bad (and it is part of their marginal charm) - but for me Battle of the Bulge takes the cake at being bad in so many ways and so consistently. I can watch it like Mystery Science Theatre 2000....

    I also have to say that the WORST ww2 movie ever made is pearl harbour starring Ben Afflek and Josh Hartnett. I picked it up from a jumble sale because it looked like good viewing material however once I turned it on and watched one hour into the film I turned the DVD off and binned it because it made a mockery of pearl harbour . It is inaccurate, badly written and totally scheiss.
