[QUOTE="TedKennedy, post: 2610125, member: 25419"] All Quiet on the Western Front Enemy at the Gates the Patriot Full Metal Jacket some of Saving Private Ryan Patton Plattoon ....there's plenty, but every one of them is pretty much propaganda in some form or another. I like watching the documentaries (usually from 60s-70s) with WWII vets from both sides. Much more objective view, seems like the soldier in the trenches quickly forgot politics. BTW - read Audie Murphy's book - it's a lot different than the Hollywierd movie. A couple all-but -forgotten gems - (not tatally war flicks all, but from the '40s) North Star (German invasion of Ukraine) Days of Glory (Gregory Peck's first leading role, German invasion of Russia) Mission to Moscow (this should be required viewing for every child in history class, along with contrasting fact - intro by U.S. Ambassador to USSR) [/QUOTE]
