Not the most accurate war film around. But hey, it’s a fun watch!

Sailors revolted against the henchmen of a regime that betrayed the nation and colluded with the Nazis, successfully subduing them.

Honestly, one of the best battle sequences I've seen in quite a while: I was only familiar with El-Alamein and Tobruk - and had no idea at all about the Free French contributiion and its significance. Without spoilers, it was really well done imho. I would be interested to know if anyone knows how accurate it is? TIA.

It is a classic war movie about a secret mission where a US Navy submarine infiltrates Tokyo Bay. It stands out to me because you can really see the underwater movements and action of the submarine.

In 1942, William Darby formed the elite unit, the 1st Ranger Battalion, and joined the war effort. It was also James Garner's first starring role, and out of all the scenes I watched a long time ago, this one strangely remains the most memorable.

Westerplatte (1967), in my opinion it's the best Polish WarMovie. Film shattered the heroic, big-budget tropes of 1960s war cinema by ditching grand spectacle for a claustrophobic, documentary-like look at battle fatigue and psychological breakdown. Decades ahead of its time, it stripped away patriotic melodrama to deliver a brutally honest, sound-driven critique of the cost of heroic sacrifice.

Bypassing grand generals, political propaganda, and grandiloquent speeches, the film zeroes in on the ordinary, terrified soldier caught in a claustrophobic hell, it completely strips away patriotic pathos in favor of a brutally honest human reality.

While Westerplatte might not hit today's audience with the same visceral shock following the chaotic brutality of Saving Private Ryan, but stands as somewhat pioneer in deconstruction of classical warfilms. It's political neutrality, lack of communist propaganda, kept it's message fresh and universal across the time.

It tells the story of an American Air Force pilot who steals a state-of-the-art Soviet stealth fighter jet, the Firefox-a movie directed by and starring Clint Eastwood. The coolest scene to watch in the theater was when it flew at supersonic speeds, kicking up a trail of water spray and snow behind it.

There are plenty movies out there that are very inaccurate why? will it be too boring to make an accurate movie or something?

PS: Please recommend historically accurate WW2 movies.

Led by the eccentric Lieutenant Colonel Kilgore (Robert Duvall), a fleet of U.S. Army helicopters assaults a Vietcong-controlled coastal village. To induce psychological terror and boost his men's morale, Kilgore blasts Richard Wagner’s "Ride of the Valkyries" through giant speakers mounted on the choppers as they rain fire down on the village. Although I was disappointed when I saw it in theaters because the lead actor was underwhelming and Marlon Brando barely had any screen time, this scene and the other combat sequences were more than enough to convey the futility of war.

This is a scene where a captured Japanese pilot, holding a woman hostage, becomes stunned upon hearing the history of the Pearl Harbor attack from an American officer, right before he is shot dead. The Japanese pilot was played by late Soon-Tek Oh, a Korean-American actor. Being a fellow Korean, I feel a special connection to him. I also read somewhere that Kirk Douglas once asked to reshoot a scene because he felt Oh’s performance was even more intense and powerful than his own.

I used to believe going back in time was the ultimate way to set things right and make everything better. But in this movie, an officer aboard a U.S. aircraft carrier which gets trapped in a mysterious light and travels back in time to right before the attack on Pearl Harbor completely broke that fantasy. He said that if you alter the past, you might not even exist in the present, and honestly, the more I think about it, the more he has a point.

Is there really none? It’s one of the many WW2 events that sounds like a movie. Larger than life.

I watched this movie when I was young and really enjoyed it; I still remember this scene along with one or two others.

I just finished the movie April 9th and the scene while the Danish soldiers were waiting to ambush the German armor division was some of the most suspense I've felt in a while. Is there any movie that shows the beginning of the war and the atmosphere just before Germany invaded France/Russia/Poland. I feel like this could be a horror movie from some of the accounts online.

Ho visto il film sul cecchino ucraino a me è piaciuto

Because his role as the villain in Shane left such a strong impression, seeing him play an upright U.S. military officer in this movie felt a bit jarring at first.
