Kelly's Heroes. Also, Korean War era but a great movie anyway = M.A.S.H.

Yeah, The Pianist is very good. The Big Red One is also good, as is Schindler's list and Saving Private Ryan. And Inglorious Bastards. Where Eagles Dare is pretty good. Not a movie, but I always thought the TV show Combat! was awesome.

"The Guns Of Navarone". Had to think for awhile to get the right title, I always called it "The Guns Of Minestrone"!

Actually, this would be a good movie to watch for anyone who has the feeling that we may be fighting a huge, better-equipped, bureaucratic entity. It reinforces the concepts of "Loose Lips Sink Ships" and "Don't Trust Anyone But Yourself, and Maybe Not Even Yourself"!!

Well, if we're talking TV series, I'd vote for "Baa Baa Black Sheep" (Later called "Black Sheep Squadron"). WW2 in the Pacific Theatre.

Two more movies which I always thought were good because of their being so suspenseful are "The Man Who Never Was" and "Eye Of The Needle" (starring Donald Sutherland, made in 1981). Both are Spy/Counterspy type movies if you're looking for suspense rather than shoot-em-ups.

I was sure, someone would have mentioned this movie. The Cross of Iron. Sgt, Steiner, played by James Coburn and directed by Sam Peckinpah.

Re: The best WW2 movie you've seen? I watched the Pianist and it was really good.
Great Escape was always my favorite growing up. Also, the Longest Day, the Dirty Dozen, Battle of Britain, Run Silent Run Deep, Patton, Tora Tora Tora...there are so many.

Some others that are not so serious would be Father Goose, Operation Petticoat, and Mister Roberts.

As for realism, though, I would probably say Saving Private Ryan and the Band of Brothers series.

And don't forget that "A Bridge Too Far" and "The Longest Day" had real German speaking actors in it, "Battle of the Bulge" had also real Germans in it I believe. It really adds up to the authenticity of the movie.

And it has a nice soundtrack too, has been remixed by U96. There's nothing like fighting a bloody war with a nice soundtrack in the background.

this just brought back memories from my childhood

great list of films

I used to love staying up late and watching all war movies and on the weekends watching all the war biography shows

Tora Tora Tora was a favorite, so were Midway and Patton

Saving Private Ryan is my favorite war film
