Been missing my friday night war movies, running out of them, making a thread so we can recommend lesser seen but good movies, or, good war movies.
I like theese movies because they are mostly done in original languages with subtitles, whic probarly means alot of people haven't seen them, but they are really good, they probarly haven't gotten the exposure they deserve. Other big movies everyone should see are Fury, Pearl Harbour, Saving Private Ryan, Das Boot, Full Metal Jacket, Deer Hunter (Christopher Walkens best role), Apocalypse Now, Enemy at the Gates, 1917 , Dunkirk (you really need a GOOD sound system to fully enjoy this movie imho, the sound production is 40% of the film), A Bridge Too far.
The Captain, boy this was good, the ending is rather interesting, you really should watch this if you haven't seen it:
Die Untergang, Hilters last days:
Two russian WW2 movies, interesting *because* of the propaganda in them, but, especially T-42 has pretty good production value.
White Tiger:
T-34 - If Michael Bay made a tank movie.
The 12th man, a norwegian, extremely well made move, horrid, and Jonathan Rhys Meyers does a excellent job at his role (guy from The Tudors, which you should also see btw, if you haven't). In German/Norwegian.
The man with the iron heart, another excellent movie portraying one of the most evil being ever born, who possibly would have taken over after Hitler, Reinhard Heydrich, all in english:
The Resistance, interesting story, in english:
Stalingrad 1993, a antiwar movie that depicts the horrible situation the developed when the German army behaved like morons, and Hitler refused to see what was coming:
Come and see, this movie is probarly one of the most rememberable movies, it depicts how people suffer when seeing the horror of wars. The director used live ammo in some scenes to up the ante'

The cast walks around modern day Germany, asking people for their papers, the reactions are really interesting.
