probably because it is more real events and less "we have to find this one guy because he's the only one of his family still alive",
that and Stephen Ambrose wrote Band of Brothers.

it got to be out of SPR and BoB but in the end i chosse BoB becuase it really touched me seing those old men telling the story and seeing them cry and things.............

No wonder BOB is winning and i cant believe the other two movies arnt even gettin votes. LOL feel sorry for them.

Saving Private Ryan, by far. Next is BOB or To Hell and Back.

I saw Windtalkers over the weekend. That movie is a steaming pile. The acting is horrible, especially the first battle sequence.

I applaud the idea behind it, but the cons far outway the pros.

Two thumbs down.

I agree it never came with the WW2 outlook or anykind of affects. Now SPR that was a good WW2 movie that came with outlooks so did BOB thier both good WW2 movies but most of the older users on Alliedassault tend to go for the older movies those movies in black and whight or others something like that like Bridge to far i herd that was a good WW2 movie. So most other older ppl vote for older WW2 movies then the ones that already came out.

A bridge too far was a great movie. I have it on DVD. I'm not that old either. eek: If you haven't seen it, see it. Good movie.

See i was right most ppl like the old WW2 movies. I gotta see those ones if i could find them at Blockbuster or something.

Both SPR and BOB were better than A bridge too far, but it was still a great movie. I would choose BOB of SPR over ABTF.

Like all those acronyms? oOo:

One of the older movies that successully combines action with historical accuracy is The Devil's Brigade. At first I thought it was pure Hollywood, then I saw a History Channel special on the 1stSSF and realised they got it pretty much how it was in The Devil's Brigade.

Another older movie that is accurate and fun is teh one where Audie Murphy plays himself (title has hell in it, To Hell and Back or Hell is For Heroes or something)

The Longest Day is pretty accurate tries to portray not only the Americans but also the British, Germans, Free French, and the French Resistance. However some find this movie to be somewhat boring nowadays.
But like any John Wayne war film, it is really good.


Some good movies which aren't really accurate historically but you'll get a kick watching:

Kelly's Heroes,
Where Eagles Dare,
Force Ten From Navarone,
Dirty Dozen

I have The Longest Day also. Its like 3 hours. Pretty long so it can get tedious. But it is an overall good depiction and good movie.

No wonder its called the longest day if its 3 hours long.
