Recommended War Films

There are the classics which i will throw out now of; A bridge too far, All quiet on the western front, Band of Brothers, Saving Private Ryan, Enemy at the gates, Dirty Dozen and The Bridge on the River Kwai

Also, Two lesser known ones which I would highly recommend is Westfront 1918 and Cross of Iron
Feel free to post your own

Stalingrad (1993), my most favorite movie. I also enjoyed 1944 highly!

The indirect sequel to Band of Brothers --> The Pacific

It's quiet good. Actually I enjoyed it more than Band of Brothers.

Another Pacific-based one is Letters from Iwo Jima.

The Winter War is a long movie but it's worth every minute

Thanks I will check them out and do an edit to say what I thought!

I enjoyed "Unsere Mütter, unsere Väter" series. It is a good watch. Its a drama, (so don't expect an action-packed series. Although some battlescenes are present.)

Brestskaya Krepost is also a good one, more of an action movie if thats what you want.

"Fury" is a recent good one if you haven't seen it. (Watch it for the zeitgeist of the war not the action scenes.)

"Untergang" is of course a must for any of these lists.

So is the "Liberation" (Osvobozhdenie) series of films. Take note it is from the Brezhnev era and has many great moments and battlescenes but also a few shoe-horned scenes for propaganda. Overall a must-see.

For movies about large battles, "Longest Day" about D-day is a great classic and really a good movie, apart from the once already mentioned.
There are a couple out of the USSR that are good but finding subs can be hard. (Battle of Moscow series.)
Stalingrad from 2013 is a total meh, Enemy at the Gates a cringe-worthy abomination. Only good Stalingrad movie is the one from 1993. Watch that
There is one new that came out this year called "Bitva Za Sevastopol" But I haven't seen it yet.


Finish "The unknown soldier" about the continuation war is good along with The winter war if you want to get in on that part of the fighting.

Unsere Mütter, unsere Väter is highly recommended indeed! Watched it three times Splendid series!

generation kill is quite good aswell

Fortress Of War is a great film.

The Guns of Navarone (1961)

Das Boot. 1944. Warsaw Upsring 44?

The Bridge at Remagen. The Big Red One. Ice Cold In Alex.

Battle of Britain. Dambusters. Tora! Tora! Tora! Midway.

The Cruel Sea. Sink The Bismark.

They were not divided - cast drawn from the Guards Armored Division which the film portrays, with original vehicles...and a Tiger .... -Americans with sensibilities should not watch

A Walk in the Sun

Beach Red

Where Eagles Dare (1968) is a great movie. Also any of the Saints and Soldiers movies from director Ryan Little are good also. Platoon is a good movie also if you interested in Vietnam.

The Bridge at Remagen. The Big Red One. Ice Cold In Alex.

Battle of Britain. Dambusters. Tora! Tora! Tora! Midway.

The Cruel Sea. Sink The Bismark.

These are considered very accurate films (aside from some small changes for marketability or storytelling):

The Great Escape (some yanks added for marketing purposes)
Battleground (especially for its time)
12 O'Clock High
Best Years of Our Lives (about US vets returning home)
Cockleshell Heroes
The Man With No Name
Das Boot
Pearl Harbor (ok, J/K)

Kelly's Heroes is known for decent accuracy in its use of tactics and weaponry (except the Tiger since none then existed for use) and is a very entertaining movie.

Non- WWII:
Gettysburg
Zulu
All Quiet on the Western Front

There is one new that came out this year called "Bitva Za Sevastopol" But I haven't seen it yet.

Stalingrad from 2013 is a total meh, Enemy at the Gates a cringe-worthy abomination...
