Favorite WW2 Movie (Inspired by Dan M)

OK, I'm going to duck before the rotten tomatoes start hitting me, but another one I really LOVE, despite it's fictional fluff and horrible reviews is...

Pearl Harbor. Yep. I really liked it, even if nobody else did.

My favorite WW2 movie is "Tough Kahonas" - It is a great movie! I would suggest you all see it but it isn't out yet. Look for it in 2006!

Casablanca

My favorite (not mentioned yet) is Patton. Others at the top of the list are:

The Best Years of Our Lives... post WWII but all about that era.

Shindler's List.

Tora, Tora, Tora!

South Pacific - I liked the Glen Close version better than the original.

The Caine Mutiny

Lifeboat

Von Ryan's Express

This is a difficult one. I like just about all WWII movies even though I wasn't even born until just after.

Being a Vietnam veteran, I've only seen a handful of movies from that era. For some reason, I can't resist the WWII stuff whether it be realistic, documentary, Hollywood, or comedy.

I'd say of the more recent films, I'd go with "Saving Private Ryan," "Memphis Belle," and "Band of Brothers."

I agree that the ones with John Wayne are awesome. But Both my husband and I luv Casablanca.

my most favorite movie of all time is a WWII movie that nobody mentioned, I guess since its main focus is on the jews and not the war.


'The Pianist', anyone see it?

 

[Dan Murphy]

Jungle Skipper did above. Along with Shindler's List, a great movie.

 

[Stepharoonie!]

Wow, I haven't seen a LOT of these movies!

Without a doubt, my favorite is "The Best Years Of Our Lives". I highly recommend it!
