WWII Movies

[1701E]

Any recommendations?  I've seen a few, but mostly only what our movie store has, and with ours that's not a lot.  We have a Netflix account, so I can get them there, but I don't want to rent crap movies and trying to find movies on Netflix when you don't know what you're looking for, well it's just crazy.  Since a holiday is coming up I'm gonna have plenty of time to waste, and movies are always a good way to do that.

That I can remember, seen: Letters from Iwo Jima, Wind Talkers, Hart's War, and a few others; dang movie store needs more movies.

to hell and back

[Anaxogoras]

If you don't mind subtitles, check out El Alamein, Das Boot, and Downfall.

[1701E]

Thanks for the suggestions.

Gonna start out with: Battle of Britain, Battle of the Bulge, Saving Private Ryan (suggested by family), Das Boot and To hell and back.
Of all the ones mentioned, only seen Tora Tora Tora.  Looks like a promising bunch of movies.  Also, Anax, I don't mind subtitles at all.

Get the full-length original TV series of Das Boot, the best submarine-at-war film ever shot. You can almost smell the diesel.

Band of Brothers. All the movies listed by Stodd, plus The Cruel Sea, Aces High, Lawrence of Arabia and the original M.A.S.H. for light relief.  

That'll keep you in and entertained for a day or two.

whats awesome about "To hell and back " is its a true story, the kicker is, the guy the movie is about, plays himself.

Just tell him - The RAF won!!!!

Everyone forgot about 633 Squadron.

Lots of low level Mossie porn.

Lots of terrible special effects.

Great soundtrack.
