Re: Movies of WWII
Das Boot
Stalingrad
Band of Brothers
SPR
Bridge over the River Kwai
Grave of the Fireflies
I think that Das Boot, Stalingrad and Band of Brothers are best at describing the feelings of the soldiers (but what I think really means very little as I was not in fact there).

"If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."

Tuntematon sotilas by Edwin Laine. Just because it's Finnish
And it's something of a curiosity, a WWII film without Nazis, Americans, Japanese or Brits.
Re: Movies of WWII
I think the best thing about Stalingrad is that it shows the German soldiers have feelings and were not evil, like in some movies they are just shown as evil moronic drones.

Re: Movies of WWII
Hardly surprising considering it's a German production, made in Germany with German actors. Best scene is when they are about to attack either Russia or just Stalingrad but the chaplin is giving a speach and he says "God is with you my sons, it's carved into your belt buckles to always rmind you of that fact." or something like that and one of the main characters looks at his belt and goes sh*t I never noticed that before. I'll have to carve that off god has no place in what we're about to do."
Actually Greg if you know your tanks you'll notice that all the american tanks in Patton are in fact US M-48 and M-60 Patton MBT's. The German tanks are all armoured recovery vehicles in Tiger and Panzer IV mock ups.
