Recent wartime romances

I feel like I haven't seen a new wartime romance movie released in 2022, 2023, 2024. Nothing except the series The Tattooist of Auschwitz.

Do you know about anything? Or about something in production?

I miss those great movies like Pearl Harbor, Atonement, Allied, Black Book, Flyboys, The Last Hope: U-Boat 864, Their Finest, The Aftermath, Suite Française, Silence of the Sea, The Exception, Testament of Youth etc.

I can’t think of the name of this movie please help me

I can't think of this movie title

I have been trying to find the name of this movie for days, I remember it looked older like pre 2000s, it started with a soldier either flagging down or shooting at a helicopter after a drill, then he passes out and wakes up on base, the whole movie is him trying to remember and figure out what went wrong doing the training exercise and why soldiers were found dead. He's being interrogated the whole time because they think he killed them, it's all set in one night and it's raining.

Das Boot DC subtitles: any alternatives?

I just bought the BluRay of Das Boot the Director's Cut and am really disappointed with the quality of the subtitles. They frequently don't match up with what's being spoken.

I know the actors all recorded the English version of the audio track, so that's nice (and makes the subtitle errors especially glaring), but I'd really rather listen in German with English subtitles.

Have any German-fluent fans made their own subtitles that I could substitute?

I have already made an mkv of the file from my BluRay (so I can play it on other devices, personal use only) so merging in another subtitle track isn't a problem, if there is one.

Suggest Movies About young military officers that's just starting their military career during ww1-ww2-present.

This types of movies catched my interest a few weeks ago, and I'm eager to watch many. I've already watched Journey's end.

Looking for realistic samurai movie

Are there any movies out there that realistically portray the samurai era without the flashy over the top acting and goofy stuntman performances?

The Heroes (1989) & Heroes: The Return (1991)

I never see these mentioned. I personally haven't watched them in at least 25 years, but in my mind, they're two of the best war movies ever made. Technically, they're considered to be a TV Mini-Series with the run time being 3h 28min for the first, and 4 hours for the second.

If I recall correctly, the movies were a UK/Australia collaboration, and other than a TV release, I've never known of them being available anywhere.

However, about 15 years ago, I was eager to watch them again, so spent far too long tracking down a source. Ultimately, I found someone in Denmark selling a bootleg version on eBay on a DVD. I bought both movies, and for some reason, I never watched them. Today though, I dug up the DVD's, and copied them to my PC. I still haven't watched them, but I'll try to get to it in the near future.

I already took a quick look and can see that the quality is terrible, so hopefully I can set that aside to see if they're as great as I remember or if it's just my rose tinted glasses.

Does anyone else know of these movies and hold them in high regard like I do?

I'll report back after I watch, but was apparently too exited, so my post is perhaps a bit premature. I'm also just having a sad moment about lost movies, or movies that were never released in a higher resolution/quality. It's a shame we lose so much incredible cinema and TV.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095297/reference/

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099765/reference/

EDIT: I've watched these over the last couple of days.

The first one is maybe a slightly better movie out of the two, but I remembered the 2nd far better, and it was incredibly nostalgic, and quite emotional, as these movies were a big part of my childhood ~30+ years ago.

They're not quite on the pedestal I remembered them being on. Maybe I would have rated them a little higher if the quality had been better, but as bad as the quality it was, I quite quickly put that out of my mind. I'll give them each a 7/10, but maybe at least 1 point is for nostalgia.

Heroes is based on Operation Jaywick, a successful attack on Sinagpore Harbor near the end of WWII. Heroes II is based on Operation Rimau, when they went back to try and do the same thing again, but bigger. While both movies had the same characters (all real life), many of the actors changed for the second movie. Acting in both was superb though, and there's some big names there such as Jason Donovan, Miranda Otto, Craig McLachlan, Nathaniel Parker, and probably some others that are more famous in Australia.

Definitely worth a watch if you're a war movie fan, and can put the image quality aside.

This is my current watchlist: Flags of Our Fathers Letters from Iwo Jima Hamburger Hill When Trumpets Fade Das Boot Stalingrad Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan Uncommon Valor 84C MoPic The Lost Battallion Blizzard of Souls Trench 11 Overlord Journey’s End 1944 Narvik The Forgotten Battle 12th Man The Front Line Taegukgi Jarhead American Sniper Sniper: The White Raven Three Kings Warhorse One Sisu The Unknown Soldier Rambo Films The Last Front The Arctic Convoy Sand Castle Kandahar The Wall The Hurt Locker Green Zone Land of Bad Civil War Hounds of War Long Gone Heroes Rebel Ridge Casualties of War Bat*21 Point Man Behind Enemy Lines Heartbreak Ridge The Beast The Siege of Firebase Gloria

Obviously seen all the really major ones

does anyone remember this movie

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.

What are some movies that showcase the “profession of arms”?

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?
