zakobi Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 This is a thread where you can recommend other, movies about war, you've seen. Mine: Saving privat ryan blackhawk down Kelly's heroes (it's not as serious as the other, but still good :D) P.S. it's not which you like must, top 3, top 10 etc. It's movies you recommend other to see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EtherealN Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Brotherhood of War. (Or Tageukgi, transliterated from the Korean title.) Very good movie about the Korean War - and from a Korean perspective instead of our common west-centric view. Letters from Iwo Jima is also pretty good with a nice insight in the more human aspect of the Japanese "Banzai" stereotype.

Griffin Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 (edited) Der Untergang - The last moments of Hitler and his third reich. IMDB Europa Europa - A true story about a German jewish boy who tries to survive in the war and ends up in Hitler Jugend while trying to hide who he is. Trailer IMDB Indigènes (Days Of Glory) - North African men enlist in the French army during WW2 to fight the Germans. IMDB Jarhead - US marine sniper in the Gulf War. (Got to warn that the movie isn't full of the actual sniper action.) IMDB Memphis Belle - Story about the last flight of the famous B-17 bomber named Memphis Belle. Trailer IMDB Max Manus - True story about a Norwegian resistance movement. I must say that combat scenes looked very realistic! IMDB Rescue Dawn - True survival story of an American Skyrider pilot who got shot down in Vietnam and captured by Vietnamese for several years until an epic escape. Trailer IMDB Stalingrad - The famous battle from the German perspective. Fighting in the icy hell until the bitter end. Trailer IMDB Tmavomodrý svet (Dark Blue World) - Great film about Czech pilots in RAF during Battle of Britain. They used their flying scenes from the movie Battle Of Britain and enchanced them with modern effects to make it look very authentic. IMDB Звезда (Star) - Russian scouts during WW2 behind the enemy lines on a deadly mission. Propably the best Russian war movie I've seen. Clip IMDB Das Boot - The famous movie about a WW2 German submarine hunting and being hunted in the waters of the Atlantic ocean. A must see. Trailer IMDB Generation Kill - Not a movie but a 7 part miniseries about the Iraqi war through the eyes of recon marines and a reporter who rides with them in their Humvees on the way to Baghdad. Trailer IMDB Talvisota (Winter War) - Realistic Finnish movie about the forgotten nordic battles of 1939. How a small army stood up against the overwhelming Soviet army. Highly recommended Trailer IMDB Edited January 3, 2010 by Griffin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EtherealN Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Hitler - The Rise of Evil, not really a war movie, but it is an excellent dramatization of the events that led up to like half of all war movies ever made. :P Gula Divisionen ("The Yellow Division"), this one is in swedish and very hard to find even here, but basically it's a 50's swedish "top gun". Not really a "war movie" either but no swedish simulator nerd (like me) should allow themselves to not see this one for giggles. (And the props used for "special effects" are hilarious.) Stars the J29 Flying Barrel. :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Daniel "EtherealN" Agorander | Даниэль "эфирныйн" Агорандер Intel i7 2600K @ 4.4GHz, ASUS Sabertooth P67, 8GB Corsair Vengeance @ 1600MHz, ASUS GTX 560Ti DirectCU II 1GB, Samsung 830series 512GB SSD, Corsair AX850w, two BENQ screens and TM HOTAS Warthog DCS: A-10C Warthog FAQ | DCS: P-51D FAQ | Remember to read the Forum Rules | | | Life of a Game Tester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EtherealN Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 (edited) Tora, Tora, Tora The attack on Pearl harbour About 100 times better then "Pearl harbour" from 2001 Ugh, Pearl Harbor. I get so annoyed with the dogfight scenes where it appears everyone has gun convergence set to be 20cm in front of them. I actually have it on DVD anyway though - was bundled with a magazine I bought. For the price of a 5 dollar magazine I would have bought anyway it was actually worth it. :P battle of britain. 1969 version. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Britain_(film) That is an awesome film. Shame they had to use those merlin-engined spanish 109's, but it still works. And reminds me: A Bridge Too Far. Borrowed those two on VHS way back from my then computing teacher, (who was british and had a collection of british war movies) and was completely blown away by them. For those that don't know, A Bridge Too Far is about Operation Market Garden - the 1944 attempt at circumventing the Siegfried line and end the war in europe "by christmas". I tend to see it in those budget DVD stands at grocery stores for like 5 dollars, definitely worth it.

dawestsides Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 - The Thin Red Line very strong emotionally,or how to describe the horror of war with poetry - Glory Denzel should have got an oscar for his tears - Platoon - Black Hawk Down or how to screw up everything when you think you're unbeatable [/url]My MAKS 2015 Pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
