Thread: Best WW2 movies..

I've got to say, that interpretation of Totoro never occurred to me. I'll have to re-watch it in full Bergman mode.

Some precious insight into socal's zio-mind-kontrolled psyche. Obsessed with NAZIs!, and what a surprise, also a fan of WW2 movies.

There's a kosher history education straight from Hollywood University for you. Just as socal trusts only the "mainstream media" for their fair & balanced coverage of current events,

a title-search of Internet Movie Database for titles tagged with:

nazi (1506 titles)
holocaust (590 titles)
hitler (250 titles)

Meanwhile, what about the Holodomor in which ~20 million ethnic Russians in Ukraine were deliberately murdered by the kosher Stalin and his Jewish/Bolshevik regime in 1932-33,

holodomor (1 title - Under Jakob's Ladder (2011))
stalin (27 titles)

I haven't seen "Under Jakob's Ladder", will when I get a chance. Anyone seen it?

Great flick.

Not everyone overlooked it though,

Hollywood Portrays Jews as Supermen - henrymakow.com

Beach Red by Cornel Wilde who starred, directed and produced it is excellent and a far superior film to Shaving Ryan's Privates, the latter being notable for the opening scenes but thereafter descended into cloying sentimentality and just another rerun of " the Alamo ".

Given nearly 30 years separate them it's quite amazing how little Spielberg added to the genre.

My other choice would be a minor classic but notable for its maturity, Robert Aldrich's Attack! with Jack Palance. Terrific stuff with a fine script but perhaps too sophisticated for some here.

Seen a really good one yesterday. Its a hypothetical setting about the Nazi's winning the war. It is a story about an American reporter who is covering the arrival of the US president to visit Hitler and she uncovers a bigger story then she bargained for.

Stalingrad with Jude Law and Das Boat.

I thought it was crap.

I'd say Das Boot gets my vote so far, certainly as the best movie about WW2, and I'd put 'Enemy at the Gates' as a worthy contender too.
A Bridge too Far is the best 'classic' WW2 war movie imo. But in terms of war epics, I don't think any movie matches 'Band of Brothers', the mini-series.

I watched 'Enemy at the gates' recently, It's ok but they are playing Russians while speaking in cockney accents. This is just shit and something I dont understand, if you're gonna spend millions making a movie tell the bloody actors to put on fake Russian accents or speak in Russian and put up sub-titles.

Innit.
