Favorite WWII Film

Tough choice, but I think Patton is probably my favourite WW2 movie.

This may surprise you but mine is Das Boot.

Nest is Full Metal Jacket . Mainly because it brings back those fond memories of Bootcamp. Ah those were the days.

Not at all, it is my favourite too. The sub is a bit of an island in a world gone mad and the crew aren't nazi's, that's why you can identify more or less with most of them. That's the hook the director puts in your flesh right from the first scene when they all 'piss on' their superiors. You can't help but sympathise with them. Then come the great acting, the incredible camerawork, the physical and human claustrophobia throughout much of the action... Briliant movie.

Das Boot is very good. But my favorite is "Die Bruecke" (The Bridge) a German film from the 50ies. I guess there is no English version, but those speak German should try to see it. There is a version on DVD.

Does anybody else nknow this movie?

A very good (anti-)war movie, indeed.

One, and only one or do you want to be known as "rule-breaker?"

Best movie has to be; Framom Främsta Linjen. Its about Swedes in the Finish army fighting the Soviets.

Very realistic battles and action. And finally a movies without those silly English and American uniforms. hehe, the Finish (and germans) had the best uniforms.
