Are there any WWII movies from an Australian perspective? That would be interesting, I'd also like to see something from an Italian perspective.
Gallipoli for WW1 ofcourse, with good old Mel Gibson. As for WW2, isn't there a British North African film with a lot of scenes in Tobruk, El-Alamein maybe? |

The movies that I am talking about that make me want to play are because they are epic not because they are a first person shooter that you don't get to play.
For example, Der Rote Baron
Amazing dogfights of WW1 that actually look real.

yes two please post that article =D hahah.
can you give some movie examples dick or do you read more. and yeah thats the movie i was talking about.
nothing puts me in the middle of it like band of brothers does, i like it because i like the hand held camera they do with a lot of the scenes. sure its hollywood, but its good, it was a good book too.
i guess it really depends on if you want historical accuracy in your movie, a story to be told, or action. i usually just like the action, because if i want a good war story ill read a book, and if i want historical accuracy ill read a book as well.

there are a couple of them...i don't have all in my mind but e.g. i watched this http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0899242/ with my gf some weeks ago not really action more dramatic love story in ww2 if you want "good" movies you really need to avoid hollywood productions in 99.99% of time you can have much special effects and action on hollywood ww2 movies but i don't know if that is really what you want...then you could watch terminator or something like that |

God, if you guys don't start learning to stay on the fucking topic; I'll start handing out weekly bans. Are there any WWII movies from an Australian perspective? Probably the best recent one is Kokoda, it not your hollywood hero style movie. It's pretty gritty and real. |

I didn't really like most of the movies based in WW2. Usually they've been quite one sided after all.
Stalingrad was quite a good movie in German soldiers perspective. That movie Company didn't keep the movie one sided which was quite surprising. They mostly showed the worst sides and so on not like 3 soldiers stopped a whole regimment's advance.
Das Boot was quite enjoyable movie despite it having very little action but hey I've tried subsims and I can tell to everyone with full honest...they are boring without time speed ups xD
Winter War. A Finnish movie about happenings in Finland 1939 when Soviet Union decided to try to have a Victory March in Finland. Stalin was indeed quite pissed off when his mighty army couldn't cross Finland's borders easily. Action is decently done and it ain't too one sided.
The Unknown Soldier. Another Finnish movie, it eventually came up with 2 versions. Color and black and white. It is orginally from a novel that was close to be banned from Finland as a anti Finnish army propaganda. It was flamed to hell so to speak by most people however these days it is still one of the best Novels and movies made in Finland. (I don't know why...I didn't find the movie OR the book as interesting XD)
Tali-Ihantala 1944. The latest Finnish war movie. It was quite decent StuG 4 Action vs T-34s in one of the Greatest battles that took part in WW2. If Finland had lost that battle- well it wouldn't have ended too well for Finland's population. We'd march behind Ural.
There are plenty of World War 2 movies. Most of them are One sided hollywood stuff and the plot is similar to every other plot. A hero, his comrades/family/brother/girlfriend is killed by some evil Mighty Nazi and in the end that Hero gets revenge on that nazi after slaughtering a division, gets a new girlfriend with who the hero will shoot the nazi in a epic gunfight or in a epic hand-to-hand combat where knife ends it all. Isn't that pretty much it? xD

Because a forum post should be like a woman's skirt. Long enough to cover the subject material, but short enough to keep things interesting.

I quite like the older ww2 films like the longest day and a bridge too far - though they do get quite confusing.

I'm surprised Saving Private Ryan hasnt been mentioned... But come to think of it that may be a wee bit Hollywood-esque for some. I personally enjoyed it.
Have to agree with Kelly's heroes and Where Eagles Dare though.
