Best World War II moveis

[SRF]

Since we've got a list of Vietnam War movies, I thought this would be worth a try.
My choices:
Band of Brothers
Battleground
Battle of Britain
Das Boot
Enemy at the Gates
The Eagle Has Landed
The Guns of Navarone
The Longest Day
Memphis Belle
Stalag 17
The Train
Tora! Tora! Tora!
Twelve O,Clock High

Fook you forget Saving Private Ryan

 

[mrtrebus]

Argh! NO NO NO. Saving Private Ryan is shit. All it has going for it is the opening 30 minutes, then it becomes a run-of-the-mill war movie.

 

[GregCentauro]

Paisa
Roma, citta aperta
Two Women with Sophia Loren
The Dirty Dozen
Patton
Weekend at Dunkirk with Belmondo

... mrtrebus is spot on

 

[BlueBalls]

Argh! NO NO NO. Saving Private Ryan is shit. All it has going for it is the opening 30 minutes, then it becomes a run-of-the-mill war movie.

My thoughts exactly.

Anyway...

Come & See
Downfall
Patton
The Thin Red Line
Das Boot
