Das Boot is the best for me. I saw it when it was released in a theater in a known Jewish community of a large American city. The only film where I saw Jews routing for Germans to survive. Yes, it was that powerful.
Battle Cry - the ending scene where they are singing, "What happened to Jody?"
Twelve O'clock High. It is still used as a lesson for leadership in military academies.
Kelly's Heroes - Telly Savalas, Don Rickles, and Donald Sutherland absolutely stole that movie from Clint Eastwood. Filmed in Yugoslavia cause they still had M4 Shermans.
Play Dirty - Michael Caine at his finest
The Bedford Incident - So real they had to make it at Pinewood, in the UK. The U.S. Navy wanted NOTHING to do with it.
They were Expendable. John Wayne in a supporting role. Robert Montgomery in the lead as he should be because he was a REAL PT Boat skipper in WWII.
Tora, Tora, Tora - showed the Japanese perspective for once
Stalingrad - The Das Boot of ground warfare
The Flying Tigers - Cheesy, American war production, but still entertainig
Death Race - Al little know made for TV movie (1973) with Lloyd Bridges, Eric Braeden of Rat Patrol, and soap opera fame, and Doug McClure. I saw it when it first aired, and it always stuck in my mind for some reason.
I have always liked " Battleground". About the 101st at the siege of Bastogne. I liked it because it seemed the most real to me and portrayed the troopers as human beings doing a horrible job and not as action heroes. "Band of Brothers" does a better job on the subject, but considering "Battleground " was released in 1949, I think it still holds up.
for me its probably hamburger hill and platoon. brilliant movies
