WWII Movie Buffs!
« on: May 23, 2004, 09:57:29 PM »
This is your time to shine!

I am looking for WWII movies, set in Russia, France, and just Europe in general.

I'd love it if it involved, partisans, French Resistance, Maqui, etc.

I'll list some of the movies I have seen already.

Band of Brothers

Saving Private Ryan

Pearl Harbor

A Bridge too Far

(I can't remember the name exactly but it was about a boy in Russia who steals, and his mom colaborates with a German Officer)

Enemy at the Gates

Thats all I can think of off the top of my head, and I'd love to see more, let me know ones you think are historical, and ones that are fiction..

Thanks,
Hawklore

PS: If you got DVD's, VHS's of WWII stuff you want to get rid of give me an e-mail at Hawklore88@yahoo.com

PPS: Oh and I've seen Patton...

Hawklore, you must watch Decision Before Dawn. Great story about a young German POW sent back to Germany to spy for the Allies. It's the best WW2 movie you never saw.

An excellent film...

The Eagle has Landed
Bridge at Remagen

 Tronsky
