Forgot one of my favorites: 'A Bridge Too Far'.
I thought U-571 was also very good with those guys in the subs waiting for those depth charges to hit. The sub sonic effects is staggering
Surprised to see 'Das Boot' not mentioned here -- the definitive 'submarine film' IMO. Far better than U-571, for example. And just released yesterday with the director's cut on bluray w/a DTS-MA 5.1 track. Phenomenally tense film with a fantastic performance by Jurgen Porchnow as the ship's captain. He seems to be one with the sub, part of the organism that it is.
Just ordered it and will report on A/V quality.
Apocalypse Now although not truly WWll is an all time masterpiece, especially The Director's Cut
There is another one that hasn't been mentioned yet that when adjusted for inflation is the third highest grossing movie of all time! Can you guess it without looking it up?
Hint: It is on Blu-ray.
I think we may be adding the new movie..the Monuments Men. Looks very promising.
There is a surprising amount of the WWII German invasion in the movie. Added a lot IMHO. One of the aspects I remember most from seeing the movie initially in the late sixties. Of all things Sun afternoon liberty in Valetta.Wow! Being a musical, that one don't even come to mind.
Since it was a mini-series one does become invested in the characters. BoB is definetly on the list.Well if you are now getting into DVD and TV series and mentioned Band of Brothers you must incluse The Pacific by Spielberg and Hanks
BTW IIRC it is soon to be released on BD
