"Saving Private Ryan" hands down even if it was fiction and American-centric. (It wasn't a dcoumentary folks!)

 The good, accurate, well done movies are few.

 IMO the majority of the Hollywood films on WWII combat plain old suck. Like 'Midway' 'Tora Tora Tora' 'Battle of the Bulge' and the latest murderer of what really happened 'Pearl Harbor'

Lee Marvin fans should be ashamed of themselves for not mentioning "Cross of Iron".

GREAT film...

Stalingrad, Das Boot, The Longest Day, In Harms Way, SPR, BOB, and A Bridge Too Far also!

Pearl Harbor was a love film, not a war movie or documentary.  Much like Titanic was a love story and not a documentary.   :)  Gotta get the women into the theaters somehow to make the mega bucks!

Cross of Iron with James Coburn and James Mason.

Thin Red Line is great also.

And Where Eagles Dare always works for me.

SPR was really just a few tremendous sequences in a pretty mediocre film.

Oh, I forgot Kelly's Heroes, Tora, Tora, Tora and Ice Cold in Alex!

Still, Das Boot is the one for me though!
