[quote="=BA-MF=LoneGunner65=2nd=c":e4628]No wonder its called the longest day if its 3 hours long.[/quote:e4628]

my history teacher in junior year called it The Longest Movie

'Sink the Bismark'

BoB was a series, but was based on a true story. SPR was based on true EVENTS. The storyline was real, but the characters were different, and not everything they went through happened to THEM, but it happened in the war.

It's so sad in SPR when Captain Miller dies!

"James..James....Earn This.......Earn It."

You guys are all forgetting WHEN TRUMPETS FADE! Its my favourite, right up there with SPR and BoB....

My List of good old war movies:

Anzio (Not so realistic, but a very fun movie)
Bridge At Remagen (First use of shaky cam technique, good film)
Guns Of Navarone (Nice adventure film)
The Great Escape (The classic)
Von Ryan's Express (Sinatra and a train full of P.O.W's...GREAT fun)

It looks like BOB will take the win.

everybody watch Kelly's Heroes, sweet WWII flick, BoB is the best on that list, Pearl Harbor? thats like saying Titanic was a good disaster movie, lol... all the old classics rule

i hope the library here gets the BOB dvds. i dont hvae the cash to buy em cry:

i know these aren't ww2 movies but what do you guys think of Blackhawk Down and We Were Soldiers?

Cool weapons, no acting, faceless enemies. sleep:

The definition of a war film.

Name more than one film that doesn't have faceless enemies.

Staingrad, an indie flick called the red triangle, thin red line, enemy at the gates and the list goes on.

Thats 4 movies, out of, what? 600 war films?

Thin red line? Hardly.

The rest are all eastern front....The point about all those movies is to show how inhumane the fighting was there, therefore you need to base it on two sides....They don't count. biggrin:

i got when trumpets fade for free with band of brothers, is it good?

I'm still better than you, my mom said so.

i can't stand enemy at the gates...they speak english
