DAS BOOT - German , great movie about a german u-boat and its crew


Enemy at the gates : - soviet union ww2

[Killar]

Das Boot great movie indeed! when watched the 5 h version 


Enemy at the gates wasn´t a great movie in my opinion. you get the impression the whole stalingrad battel was about the german and soviet sniper.

And again wrong german tanks! cheap tanks that were converted to look like a panzer III. I want a movie, not hollywood made, that uses real german armor! Finnland made such a movie "Tali-Ihantala". Two real stug III where used there.

One of my favorites. At least Hollywood was able portray it somewhat evenly.  Cross of Iron also had a cynical side to it, which I liked.

Battle of the Bulge (1965) - A well-known Hollywood classic. Though it used some really cheap props (i.e. Pershings as King Tiger substitutes), it immortalized the "Panzerlied (Tanker's Song)" in one memorable scene.

The Bridge at Remagen (1969) - The retreat of the German army across the Rhine (during Operation Lumberjack), Western Front.

Triumph of the Will (1935) - Real WW2-era Nazi Party documentary/propaganda film by Leni Riefenstahl---it's pretty interesting if you look at it from a historical and filmic perspective. My film professor made us watch this one back in college.

Woman In Berlin (2008) - Portrays the ultimate fate of German women (along with many others) in the Soviet-occupied territories.

Valkyrie (2008) - Stars Tom Cruise as Oberst Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg in the "20. July" plot to assassinate Hitler at the Wolfsschanze.

Mein Krieg (2008) - Amateur film/documentary by German soldiers.

I ve seen the following

Battle of the Bulge (1965) : - good display of war tactics

Valkyrie (2008) : Tom cruise is a poor actor he managed to do this one good though

Triumph of the Will (1935) :- Dont want to see this one , the cinematography would be horrible



Would Like to add three more movies to the above

Masscre in rome(1973) : Splendid one , full of irony


Guns Of Navarone(1961) :- A must watch for all those who haven't till now , nominated for 3 or 4 oscars(academy awards)


Life is Beautiful ( 1997) : Story of a jew father who saves his son from the concentration camps


Cheers

Has anyone here ever watched the HBO Original film "When Trumpets Fade"? I think it was the only one which featured the Schlacht im Hürtgenwald (Battle of Hürtgen Forest)...
