Re: Best WWII Films
Three older movies:
Hunde, wollt ihr ewig Leben/Stalingrad: Dogs do you want to live forever (1959) - German movie, Stalingrad.
Oni srazhalis' za Rodinu/They Fought for their Country/the Motherland (1975) - Soviet era but worth a watch.
Battleground (1949) - Parachute Infantry, 101st Airborne.

There are two movies - one filmed 1955 and another version from 1985. Most prefer the 1955 one but the one from 1985 is sometimes given cred for its camerawork, example:

In 2017 there will be a thrid version, but this one I belive will draw on Sotaromaani ("War Novel"), Linnas uncensored version of Unknown Soldier.

Re: Best WWII Films
The Longest Day in color. Only available on VHS, not on DVD (as far as I know). If someone knows where I can find it on DVD please tell me. In the middle 90's, a bunch of old vintage WWII movies where colorized, including Battleground, a sub movie, and this one. I think it was the 50th year anniversary of the end of WWII or something. Hard to find. Being in color makes them seem like entirely new movies. Cool stuff.

Re: Best WWII Films
Anthropiod (2016) about the operation to kill leading SS man Reinhard Heydrich. Good film.

Re: Best WWII Films
Operation Crossbow - German rockets with a touch of Sophia Loren.
Counterfeit Traitor - No combat but a spy movie set in Germany during the war. Lots of suspense.
