Utah Bob #35998 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Here's a list. It's not my list. It's just a list. 50 BEST WWII MOVIES OF ALL TIME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Bullweed Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Not my list either. The Longest Day #48, 12 spots behind a cartoon about the guy that design the Zero. No mention on The Battle of Britain, Waterloo, Zulu or The Patriot. We need some more movies about The American Revolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Well Tom, the list is the 50 best WORLD WAR II movies. I don't think Waterloo, Zulu, or The Patriot qualify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Bob #35998 Posted November 21, 2020 Author Share Posted November 21, 2020 One thing I, and perhaps some fellow persnickety grammar/spelling police here, might notice that in the brief reviews the article's author several times speaks of prison camp inmates as being interred in the camp. Close, dude. So close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Hair, SASS #29557 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Great list, but as you say, it's just a list. I own or seen maybe 35 of these but can easily add a couple of dozen more. Thanks for posting it, Utah Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I’m not seeing a list. Just click-bait ads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been to China 8 times for work. In Shanghai there is a TV channel that showed WWII movies. Usually the Japanese came into a village, killed the fighting-age men, tortured the remaining g people until the Chinese Army came or the remaining people got together and killed the Japanese.

DocWard Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Well, it is a list, you're right. Not a particularly good one, in my opinion. No A Bridge Too Far, Guns of Navarone, Twelve O'Clock High... I could go on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-BAR #18287 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I remember my Dad taking us to see Battleground in the theater in 1949; I was 5 years old. He wanted to see it, which I have learned is unusual because many veterans (he was in the 44th Field Artillery) didn’t want reminders of their experiences. He liked the movie. I think there are surely better ones, but Battleground came out fairly close to the war. Sorry UB, I could not work through the list, too many ads and popups. I don’t know if Battleground is considered one of the 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s not it should be. https://www.historynet.com/how-mgms-battleground-became-an-unexpected-film-classic.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 No it's not on there. I found that puzzling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
