I desperately need some WWII movies with big actors. Dunkirk, Fury, Greyhound, Midway, Hacksaw Ridge, Unbroken. The type.
There's an old movie with a scene where there's American POWs in a German camp in WW2 and there's a treasonous American dressed up in this abominable hybrid Nazi/Uncle Sam get up. What was the movie and the name of that character? I thought it was the Great Escape, but my searches didn't find any reference to that character.
Here’s mine
Hi, I'm looking for a movie, I don't remember the name, but there is a scene where a group of soldiers are getting ready to be deployed and one of the is complaining about all the gear that he needs to carry and how much it weights, do you guys know what movie is this?
Warfare is an incredibly technical endeavor — especially since armies ballooned in the early 19th Century. Does anyone have movie recommendations that portray the skill and craft that goes into being a proficient soldier or Marine? (I’m leaving out naval and Air Force movies since the technology involved makes pretty much ensures technical skills will be showcased.)
Edited to add: After I posted, I thought of a better way to say it. There’s a genre of movies called “competency porn”. The Martian is a good example. What is some good military competency porn that isn’t just trigger pulling?
Tropic thunder
Kelly’s heroes
What else?
I think most people would pick Robert Lee Ermey. He’s definitely my favorite. Dale Dye has done some amazing work , but his association with Steven Seagal loses points for him.
Does anyone know what movie this is? It was the first photo of a Bing article (best war movies of all time) but this still doesn’t seem to be from the ones on the list.
This movie has got to be one of the most sad and war accurate movies ever made, I'd say it's the greatest east asian War Movie out there and with the interesting accuracy to the 88th Division's support in being trained by Nazi Germany with Imperial German equipment it is both interesting and satisfying. The plot is the last stand of the Sihang warehouse that is being invaded by a Japanese force of over 20,000 soldiers, it is estimated that 400 of those 20,000 were killed by 800 Chinese soldiers over the course of 4-5 days which during that time period with inferior weaponry is quite spectacular. It's incredibly graphic but it is regarded even today as the "Chinese Thermopylae". It also shows how terrified some soldiers were of fighting and the others who pressured them into fighting for their home. Have watched it 4 times now and still love it. Crazy good movie.
Put watching this movie off for yrs , but sat at work with a few hours to pass. There is no way they could have taken on that SS company. It started off great.....but. That's why I gave this a pass, Hollywood at its finest (sarcasm )
