Favorite World War II Movie

[papa_kulikov]

whats your favorite world war II movie?????????mines Enemy at the Gates...............classical movie that one.........

[Kingox]

The only WW2 movie i know of or seen is wind talkers, so i will say that one.

But if we were talking about all war movies i would say "we were soldiers"

[Blade]

The only one I've seen is Windtalkers, but that is the most pointless, most violent movie I've ever seen, so yeah... :mellow:

[Kingox]

I don't see how it was pointless, It tells the story of the Wind/Codetalkers, and how secret the code is. To this day has not been brocken.

[Blade]

Yeah, I know it has some meaning, but it is much too violent for my tastes.

[Billy The Mountain]

And it is only a mere flicker of real war and the he|| it is.

Watch a true story with the real Hero in it. In fact the single most decorated American hero from any war and still to this day.

Audie Murphy
The movie is called To he|| and back

[Tony Montana]

My fav WWII movie would have to be Saving Private Ryan :tup: :thumbsup:

[Blade]

lol - my parents wouldn't let me watch that, because the beach scene was too violent :lol:

I only got to watch Windtalker because I was at someone else's place ;)

[papa_kulikov]

watch some of the old ones........like a brigde to far or the longest day...........another one is "where eagles dare"...thats a great one......

You 15 - 16 aren't you blade? Then I don't see how they would not let you watch it, unless your all covered in cotten wool :lol: . But, yeah I do know what you mean about it being violet, not that i take any notice of that anymore :D .

Yes I am 15, and unfortunately my parents still won't let me watch it :cry::

[Kingox]

:( They will when your ready to leave home, lol.

You wanna here the stupid thing, my sister got to watch them at 14 because they let me at 15 :angry:

[urbn]

I can't beleive that the only WW2 movie you have seen is windtalkers. :blink:

There are many good ones.

Saving Private Ryan
Tora! Tora! Tora!
The Great Escape
Das Boot
U571 (Good although horribly inaccurate)
Enemy at the Gates

plus others I have forgotten...

[Kingox]

Oh yeah, Chicken Run :lol:

Ok, ok it might not be WW2 but it is based on the great escape which is WW2. :D

[papa_kulikov]

if your looking to watch a good world war 2 movie dont watch pearl harbour........i think its bad......... :thumbdown:

[Kingox]

I forgot pearl habour, Thats ok.

[papa_kulikov]

does anybody watch movies that are more then 10 years old???

[edwin writer]

iv seen ememy at the gates and windtalkers thats it

[imported_KeV]

Has anyone seen "When Trumpets Fade"? It's pretty kick-a$$, and shows the psychological break-down of war.

[imported_GeneralTom]

Enemy at the gates by far...

But I could watch any war movie. So long as it has meaning, and doesn't turn into a sappy romance story.

Yes.



Favorite WWII movie should be Enemy at the gates, but there are plenty of russian WWII films I enjoy a lot, even without the multi-cash budget "Saving private Ryan" had.

Enemy at the gates was World War One

Anyway, Enemy at the Gates is my favorite war movie

[GreyHunter]

No.



Here's an explanation, fit for americans.

The city, that was under siege, was called Stalingrad. Obviously, named after Joseph Vissarionovich Djugashvili, widely known as Stalin. That same lad's first guest appearance in the world history books, was with his superior Vladimir Ilich Lenin, during the October revolution in 1917, one year before WWI is over. Hence, despite the vast amount of cities/villages the Russia has, I doubt anyone would rename a major city after some random Bolshevik dude, who will become someone around 1922, and widely known in 1924, after Lenin's death.


EDIT: Well, there's another example \/\/\/\/\/\/

[imported_KeV]

Enemy at the gates was World War One

LMAO, get outta here you nOObie...

[Kobayashi]

Pearl Harbour was awful. Makes historians commit seppuku in one scene, two scenes for everybody else.

My favourites are probably The Great Escape (can anyone tell me why this is always shown at christmas? It has nothing to do with christmas, at all!), Saving Private Ryan, Enemy At The Gates, A Bridge Too Far and Bridge Over the River Kwai.

[imported_GeneralTom]

"Behind enemy lines" was quite good... But quite corny i must admit.

[papa_kulikov]

Behind Enemy Lines wasen't reaaly a true war movie...........................
and finally someone else how likes "Brigde on the river kwai"

[Phaze]

I guess my favorite is 'Saving Private Ryan'...

[imported_Shaggy]

Tora! Tora! Tora! is a good movie if your into World War to Aircraft and Aircraft carrier scenarios.

I like a lot of them but I forget all their names :(

[millermagic]

I can be wrong ... I guess

[imported_sicdeath]

I forgot what it was called, but its an old movie. Massive tank battles between germans and americans I believe. The germans lose because they run out of gas. Its a great movie though :)

-rahul

[Wafflestomper]

Schindler's List? Anyone?

(yes it counts, stfu)

[[BoB] Freak-killah]

"Saving Private Ryan" is my favorite. I did also enjoy "Enemy At The Gates", "Band of Brothers" (I don't really know that BoB is a movie... But it's WW2 and i liked it alot)

@Blade: Don't worry i'm 16 and my parents allow me to watch SPR.
SPR for your birthday. ;)

[imported_Aesir]

*Saving Private Ryan
*Band of Brothers
*The great escape
*A bridge on the river kwai

The last two didnt have much action but they still kicked a$$

[imported_KeV]

SPR was alright -- I mainly watch it for the first 20 minutes. After that, it kinda slides into a 'generic' war movie.

Im with u general Tom.....SNIPERS ARE AWSOME :w00t: :w00t: :tup:

[imported_palags]

Saving private Ryan. Just don't like that american stuff(patriotism, showing the flag all the time etc.) as in all US movies.

[imported_Matbacon]

Enemy at the gates becasue of that stalingrad scene :tup:

[Mustafa]

That German guy in Enemy at the Gates is hardcore :w00t: ...he hung that kid for betraying him

[imported_[T]huG4LiFe]

enemy of the gates :w00t:

[imported_palags]

Watch The Pianist! This is a very good movie. Might think even the best i've ever seen.

[imported_Prince_Charles]

Saving private ryan.....COME ON....it is the best movie in the world!

The sniper in the village...through the scope...amazing

Anybody watched Band of brothers...the episode with carentan in it......there is the exact same shop with the exact same sign in BoB as in Cod!!!

[imported__1G_HiLandR]

"Dirty Dozen" and "Great Escape"

[Musouka]

what about Patton, my memory is a little sketchy so i don't know the title. or A Beautiful Life. U-571 was another good WW2 movie. Go read or see the movie The Caine Mutiny also. The Thin Red Line is another good one. Another is In Harm's Way. You guys stink, cuz all you think about is Box Office sellers. you need to go to the video store and find the ww2 section and watch these good movies.

Oh and the ***** about Enemy at the Gates being WW1 is just idiotic. And there is no you could be wrong, YOU ARE WRONG!

[LtSounders]

WW2 movies are not about entertaiment, and getting a kick out of blood and gore, they are trying to portray a message and an image on how it really was.

[imported_Prince_Charles]

Well if we are going for that angle then u 571 was a load of bull****, as it was the british :cry:: that recieved the enigma machine. sorry but that is hollywood film making at its best........ :tweet:

No offense of course

[imported_Prince_Charles]

Another thing, i have watched patton and i have to say it was really good!
Lt.Sounders you were on a winner....films are not just about blood and gore....although some added is always a treat......it is the story behind it that matters....questions should be asked like "Have the film makers got it right or have they made a t|t of it?" lol

Yes, i like the good ol' russian comedies. :) They're just great. And the only old WW2 movie i've seen is The Longest Day.

[imported_Matbacon]

[mcdarkness]

Cod has a lot of references too enemy at the gates for example the crossing of the volga river and even a characters name in the movie danilov.check the revolution screenshots to see for yourself i found that while playing red square lol. :yup:

[G-Unit]

D-day was the best.

[Phaze]

I liked Band of Brothers, for some reason, lol.

[papa_kulikov]

Band of brothers is a very good world war two series/movie..

[Slava45]

-Enemy at the Gates
-The ballad of a soldier

-To he|| and back
-Band of Brothers
-A bridge too far
-The great escape
-Von ryan's express

-The inner circle
-Stalag 17

-The guns of Navarone
-The sands of Iwo Jima
-The desert fox
-The battle of the Bulge

Nice necroposting, but an excellent topic.

[OtH RALPH]

I'm all about sloppy seconds on necroposting. :icon_razz:

Cross of Iron 1977
Director - Sam Peckinpah

Of course Das Boot for when I'm in the mood for reading subtitles ;)

[Laz]

I love Das Boot, the long 8 hour version is outstanding. Still have it on Betamax :)

I would also recommend Das Brücke and some of the Finnish WWII movies are also outstanding. Tuntematon Sotilas springs to mind, as oes Framom främsta linjen.

[OtH RALPH]

Yikes. OK, I wont yell Kindergarten when attacking a bridge in the future.

Where in the world am I going to find subtitles for rest?

[Br0ken]

I love Das Boot, the long 8 hour version is outstanding. Still have it on Betamax :)

I also love das boot, just the 2 hour german version, havent seen the 8 hour version

Vesilahti is a good finnish war movie.

And max manus is a really good espionage/behind enemy lines Norwegian war film

[OtH RALPH]

Thanks Br0ken, I'll check them out.

PS
My condolences on the Texas thing, wouldn't wish that on my worse enemy. :icon_sad:

What about the texas thing?
Look up Vietnam War Movie thread and do a search for "Steers" & "Texas" :icon_cool:

too lazy, none the less, im not even Texan, or American for that matter.

[OtH RALPH]

That was fairly clear from the info under your tag but it looked like you were living in Texas which is why the condolences on Texas.

[Br0ken]

why the condolences on Texas.


And I still don't understand for WHAT condolences? It's a state in the United States, and there is no reason for any condolences.

[BritishBulldog1]

Ralph, you just going to have to post a link lol I had a look and I can't find what you're getting at and now you've made me curious lmao

Ralph, you just going to have to post a link lol I had a look and I can't find what you're getting at and now you've made me curious lmao

Im pretty sure it's because I live in a very conservative religious state which is in the bible belt, and for the fact that I live here surrounded by a larger amount religious conservatives, which doesn't make anything a big deal.
