maturin Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Stalingrad: German film of their experiences in Russia, said to be more of an anti-war film becuase it is so persuasively gruesome to watch Are the Germans allowed to make anything but anti-war films, when it comes to that particular conflict?

HMS ZULU Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) Are the Germans allowed to make anything but anti-war films, when it comes to that particular conflict? well I know you are probably half joking but taking that aside, there is no doubt Germany has an 'unfortunate' herritage when it comes to WWII in general what we see, are films that are available in english language perhaps a certain genre are selected to 'better fit' english speaking audiences while at first glance that seems likely, I cant help thinking that if one wanted to make that statement, the situation at the fall of Berlin would describe that better for that would be the anti-war film of all time, Edited April 14, 2015 by HMS ZULU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alicatt Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 So many great movies and so little time. My first love in films is Sci Fi, and living where after they closed the local cinema meant a 109 mile drive to the nearest one, so I built my own But anyway, to films I have loved Shogun: not a lot of naval action in it but it does start out on the stormy sea. Band of Brothers: an excellent mini series. Hornblower: this one I have as a German boxed set as the transfer to DVD is of much better quality than the one that was released in the UK Letters from Iwo Jima / Flags of our Fathers: they should be watched together, two sides of the horror of war. Last of the Mohicans: enough to say that my wife used the theme tune for our wedding last week Sharpe: Sean Bean in a series that he didn't die before the end of the first reel - it's all win! Master and Commander: really great sea tale, have the books queued on my Kindle to be read. I think they missed a great opportunity for a great series of films.

Kontreadmiral Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 There are many great war movies, many of whom have already been listed. Personally, I love Rod Steiger's portrayal of Napoleon in "Waterloo". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BustyLove Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) Paths of Glory. I watched unintentionally a long time ago. Amazing film. Edited April 22, 2015 by BustyLove 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pikes Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 (First post here) OK it's not a feature film, it's two seasons of one of the best shows I've seen and if this doesn't give you a salty taste in your mouth by Season 2 then you need to hit yourself harder. Something for everyone in this. Get watching! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpe Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 hmm, for something really off the beaten path (and also from Asia) try finding the movie that details the last voyage of the battleship Yamato.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JupiterJoe Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) By no means the best movie listed here, but argubly the most accurate movie made of this story, possessor of some fine performances, an excellent soundtrack and recently released on Blu-ray - The Bounty (1984).

Hra_N Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) I have many favorites, from Waterloo to the awesome HBO Series Generation Kill. But I wanted to post Culloden as it's very entertaining, fairly unknown and I didn't see it posted yet. It's viewable on youtube: Edited April 30, 2015 by Hra_N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
