Good morning. Can you suggest any informational WWII or other military movies ? I own Band of Brothers and will start watching the series again. Saving Private Ryan and Tigerland also come to mind. Could you suggest any others ? Thanks. |

It's not informational, but Mrs. Miniver is a good watch. So I haven't been much help. |

Informational? Saving Private Ryan ripped off an English story and lets not forget U-571 which informationally ripped off several U boat captures (mostly British) such as U-110 and U-559. |

Kubrick's Paths of Glory, even though the body count is modest. (Where Eagles Dare is actually on my TV in the background as of press time, volume down... Clint Eastwood as a Nazi?) |

Diguised as a Nazi. WWII Films.. how about "The Dam Busters"? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah actually right after I posted that, Clint turned around and dropped this Kraut with one of those really cheesy 1960's karate chops. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And now In the Line of Fire is on so I guess it's Clint Eastwood day on the History Channel. |
||||||||
|

I just found out Peter Jackson is going to produce a remake of The Dam Busters. I only hope it's four times longer than King Kong, with a slightly longer build up full of inconsequential scenes and dialogue, followed by an 8 hour orgy of CGI dams being busted. |

Longest Yard Battle of the Bulge Stalag 17 (more of a prison camp movie) Tora Tora Tora Empire of the sun ENEMY AT THE GATES (this movie owns) Other: Dead Presidents (gives you a real harsh side of war) Hamburger Hill Jarhead (just for Jamie Foxx's first line in the movie, he says What the Fuck as one word... no really takes like .5 sec) Black Hawk Down |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
It will be. You need not worry. |
||||||||
|

|
Stalag 17 is a brilliant film, I must seek that out on DVD... NOW, I've not seen it for years. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Not sure if it's WWII, but Hell Is For Heroes, starring Steve McQueen, is a fantastic movie. |

Von Ryan's Express (1965) ..... and does anyone know the name of the WWII film where they build a glider in a POW camp and escape by flying it off the roof of the camp? Great movie....... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Colditz? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Umm, no, I don't think so (I checked imdb and it didn't mention anything about a glider)..... thanks anyway dan_belch |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
I'd say Escape from New York but he flew into a prison camp, and it was WWIII. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
:) [WARNING: SPOILERS] They eventually escape, using a bath-tub to power a catapault that launches the glider off the roof of the castle (possibly Colditz Castle)....... the pilot and passenger then sing a German song as the closing credits roll......... |

The Big Red One - 4/5 Samuel Fuller and Lee Marvin Not so "informational", but definitely entertaining. |
