Saving Private Ryan is probably the best WWII movies for a combination of story, (decent) accuracy, production value, battles, and characters.

Depending on what you value your choice for best WWII movies will be different, but as I think due to having a very high rating in almost every category (even if it isn't "the best") makes Saving Private Ryan, as an all-around choice, the best WWII movie made.

This. Battle scene at the beginning is seriously one of if not the best in all of WWII movies.
>>
>>70416773
>Spielberg movie filled with cliches
>Best WWII movie

ok

Saving Private Ryan is literally only good for the battle scene for the first 20 minutes and the last 20 minutes. The hour and a half in between is boring as fuck.
>>
>>70416599

Saving Private Ryan
Triumph of the Will (as a way of understanding nazi fanaticism)
Inglorious Basterds
Das Boot
Patton
>>
The Longest Day
Patton
The Bridge Over the River Kwai
The Great Escape
The Dirty Dozen

For "all round" Id say enemy at the gate is better

The Thin Red Line

That movie is beautiful. I even like the invocation of the woman-left-home-betrayal cliche and that Jesus from Passion definitely got cast for playing Jesus in this one.

Das Boot.

Kellys heroes. Best war movie that I have seen. Otherwise I don't really like the genre that much.
>>
>>70416877
Bridge over the river Kwai might have the most anticipating ending of any movie ever. It's incredible

Couple of old films not on the usual front for you

The Desert Rats (1953) and
Sands of Iwo Jima (1949)

desert rats' is genuinely brilliant, sand of iwo jima's more sort of a bit of fun really.
>>
The Human Condition trilogy is GOAT
>>
>>70416809
They are only cliche because Spielberg made them.

For an anti-gun Britbong he seems to be pretty competent at understanding firearms, at least better than most of /k/.

I have a love hate relationship with this film, but it definetly has a unique perspective which is refreshing.

Longest day is one of my favorites. Great cast

BoB and The Pacific

>>70418314
Letters from Iwo Jima is way better kino. Honestly I believe it to be one of the GOAT WW2 movies
>>
>>70418522
In an odd place between a blockbuster action flick and dramatic war cinema. Maybe it was because, if they'd committed to a classic, American action formula, the Germans would've been displeased as this would have made a mockery of Stauffenberg, and, if they'd made it too dramatic and serious, no American would have watched it because they were braindead even before comicshit's rise to prominence.
I was only disappointed by having bought a ticket to a thoroughly mediocre film, but on the other hand Tom Cruise was in it and he was cool to watch so I'm not even that pissed.

This is going to be a dreadful fucking thread but I'd be talking shite if I said I wasn't absolutely delighted to see people getting enthusiastic about Ice Cold in Alex.

If you are looking for movies that have a bleak outlook on the war, check these out.

The Human Condition trilogy, Fire on the Plain and the Burmese Harp are pretty damn Kino experiences from the Pacific or SE-Asia theater of war. I also recommend Die Brücke -movie (1959 version).

Das Boot
Die Brücke
Stalingrad

Fuck all your american "we the good guys bro" movies.
Kelly's Heroes is good though.
>>
Make sure to watch the 1985 version which is the superior one

This is one of the best WW2 movies out there, especially the handheld tracking shot long takes from the soldiers' POV are incredible.
>>

>>70416804
When I saw the battle, my thoughts were "this feels like a video game", in the sense that bullets were shown to be scary and popping out into open space would clearly get you shot.

I like Spielberg but he isn't anywhere near Welles or Hitchcock.

Patton and Tora Tora Tora are at the top. Saving Private Ryan is an overrated meme movie and every other melodramatic 'le war is hell' flick is at the bottom.
>>
>>70416635
>Patton
>Cross of Iron

This.

I'd also add "Battle of Britain" and "Best Years of our Lives."
>>
>>70421843

They're not even the same class, dood. MG42 is like a emplacement machine gun.
