I have Thin Red Line and Saving Private Ryan for the moment to feed my hunger for World War II atmosphere. Are there any others that worth watching ? May we try making a collection here ?

Which one of these give emphasis on the psychology of the troops more instead of the action itself ?

The Thin Red Line and Saving Private Ryan (but not after the opening scene), along with The Guns of Navarone, are by far the best I've seen. The Great Escape is quite interesting too, although there's not much fighting. But I haven't seen that many ww2 movies...

@Alexander the Pretty Good: yeah, awesome. It was interesting to note that those who chose the slowest vehicles such as a little boat with oars and a bike were most successful, whereas those who took the train and a
motorcycle where caught...

Stalingrad is excellent, as is the guns of Navarone, Full Metal Jacket is probably my favourite tho its not WW2

The Great Escape
Kelly's Heroes
Enemy at the Gates
The Bridge at Remagen
The Longest Day
Saving Private Ryan
...but best of all....Band of Brothers (although it is a series.)

Der Untergang, Saving Private Ryan, Schindler's List. All great movies.

ah yup forgot that one...as well as the Uprising and The great escape was that of those fighter pilots is a POW camp or of the jews in a Death camp

the best WW2 movies i saw were Band of Brothers, a bridge too far and When trumpets fade

full metal jacket was awesome
