>>34698961
It's got good parts. Skip the first 35 minutes and thank me later. Also a guy running and hipfiring a BAR if you're sensitive to that kind of thing.

The Longest day
Tora! Tora! Tora!
Fortress of War

It had some good parts and some shitty parts. I don't think I'll get past the part where a guy picks up a torso and uses it as a shield while firing a BAR from the hip one handed.

Other than that it had a good humanitarian message.

The cinematography is fantastic, but the story structure is a hot mess.

>>34700456
Dunkirk was mostly about a e s t h e t i c s, so it's kinda hard to judge it compared to stuff like Come and See

>>34701542
Yeah, The Thin Red Line is great.

>>34698961
Hacksaw is a fucking good movie. I watched it 3 times.

>>34701562
only if by "great" you mean "pretentious shite"

>>34700019
I cant get over that shit either, maybe if we had an established psycho character doing that towards the end of the film it would be more acceptable. But thats the very first thing someone decides to do on first contact? Just a stupid gore porn for shock factor. A torso isnt going to do shit to protect someone anyway

The Longest Day (1962)
Dunkirk (1958)
Tora! Tora! Tora! (1970)
Decision Before Dawn (1951)
Battleground (1949)
Twelve O'Clock High (1949)
Battle of Britain (1969)
The Dam Busters (1955)
Japan Longest Day (1967)
Stalingrad (1993)
Ice Cold in Alex (1958)
Letters from Iwo Jima (2006)

Those are the ones I can remember at the moment. The Dunkirk movie from 1958, with John Mills in the lead role, is pretty good, and I still prefer it over the new one made by Nolan. There is also three polish war movies that I would recommend: Westerplatte (1967), Kanal (1957) and Orzel (1959).

Forgot the two Eastwood films from a decade ago.

Ya'lls thoughts on The Guns of Navarone?

>>34702318
great film

>>34704425
Is pretty good, but is more in the lines of an action flick rather than a serious war movie. Is in the same line of movies like The Dirty Dozen and Where Eagles Dare, stuff based in those thriller novels of the time. The greatest merit of Guns of Navarone is that it really gives the main cast a run for their money.

Fury is fucking great. Definitely the best war film made in my lifetime as far as I know.

I'm surprised to see The Hunter on there. It's a great film but scarcely innawoods.

>>34704137
spoiler at the end. i thought the story structure turned out to be interesting, but the movie was disappointing. i didn't get a sense of what a disaster the campaign was militarily for britain, there was essentially nothing shown abandoned on the beaches besides helmets and like three trucks used to make a pier (i.e., no heavy equipment, etc), the cabin boy plotline seemed unnecessary and contrived, and the perpetual motion spitfire was fucking ridiculous

>>34704638
The campaign was a defeat for Britain but the Dunkirk evacuation was an incredible miracle. Without it Hitler would have swarmed into the British mainland within months. Because of the success at Dunkirk Britain managed to hold out against Germany long enough to see USA and Russia join the war and beat the Germans.

>Without it Hitler would have swarmed into the British mainland within months.
Germany didn't originally wanted to invade England mainland, they just wanted to see the British out of the war so they wouldn't have further problems when they eventually invaded Russia. The whole talk of invading England in the end become just a bluff to see if they press the British government and people. It didnt work.

Also, you really dont need to tell all that stuff for the other anon, he is just criticizing the structure arrangement and plot choices of the movie, not the historical elements behind it. One of my main problems with it is his overly romanticed take on the little ships, with plane trivia old man running willy nilly to Dunkirk, in front of navy officers, after his boat being requisitioned, and simply going back to his home after only one trip.

>>34700521

Oh, the bait is too damn obvious.

>>34704596
Yeah, right up to the last battle it's pretty damn good.

>>34704670
It was. Successful rescue op, but stop pretending that Germany ever stood a chance of crossing the channel.
