I was watching Lawrence of Arabia the other day, right at the part where they attack Aqaba. I remember my wife walking in the room and asking why do I watch these old war movies. I told her look at the screen, all the extras, the effects, the animals, all of it, you will never see a scene like that filmed without the aid of CGI....ever.....there is much more to appreciating old war movies than just the subject of the movie. And I agree 1917 was awesome, the running scene, I could watch over and over and over....

[@jupitard]

One of the best war films I've seen came out not too long ago, Finnish movie called Tuntematon sotilas (2017). It's based on their side of the war and it's phenomenal on every level. "June, 1941: Trapped between two repressive regimes, Finland has little choice but to ally itself with Nazi Germany against its traditional foe - although it manages to remain a democracy throughout. Virtually unknown in the WW ll arena, a brutal war against Soviet occupation takes place in the Far North. As the men of a Finnish infantry unit march through the forests of Karelia to regain territory lost to Russia in the Winter War of 1939, each of them soon realizes the horror and pointlessness of war. Except for their officers, more concerned about medals and personal glory than the lives of their men. A diverse group of men, all at odds with how they see themselves, each other, and the common cause - yet they are strengthened by a growing bond of camaraderie to each other and their loved ones. After huge personal sacrifice and a prolonged trench war, the outcome is inevitable, ending with a ceasefire in September 1944."

[@LivingBGLegend]

I’m 36 now but I really would like to watch some of these older movies, some of them really sound cool and there are hundreds if not 1000s out there. I agree 100% that these days movies suck with all that woke crap.

The movie Outpost was good too.

[@lyleswann6296]

They Were Expendable, Back To Bataan, Halls Of Montezuma, To Hell And Back, Flying Tigers, Flying Leathernecks, In Harm's Way, The Frogmen. Was rewatching Guns Of Navarone for the first time since I was a kid, forgot how great it was. Everyone is so inexplicably badass and mysterious in it. Tremendous cast and production, good miniatures and models too. Probably my favorite men-on-a-mission film, with Dark Of The Sun, despite it's blatant inaccuracies at times it keeps you glued to the actual impossibility of the mission. Where Eagles Dare, Kelly's Heroes (negative waves, man), Cross of Iron. Battle of the Bulge, Longest Day, Battle of Britain (amazing aerial sequences), A Bridge Too Far, Bridge at Remagen, etc. Also, Pork Chop Hill (Korea) as noted here before. Can't beat the classics. Lately, Dunkirk was decent. 1917 was incredible, of the caliber of Lost Battalion, Paths of Glory, and All Quiet.

[@jerryjeromehawkins1712]

I've read a bunch of comments that bring up a lot of good movies but has anyone ever seen "the longest Day" it is a bit cheesy at times but a great flick one of my favorites. No need for it to be remade really but still a great movie starring a lot of famous people from the time. Without googling it I think it was from 61 or 62.

[@Regular_1094]

Ant have you seen The Outpost? With Scott Eastwood? Not the best film, acting and CGI are subpar, but the action is intensely satisfying. The relentless explosions give you actual stress. The use alot of long, unedited film cuts that kind of put you in the violence.

[@Ellwoodsss1]

White Tiger is a new Russian war movie. The plot is bizzare but the tank scenes are all outstanding and totally worth it

[@Sheachlo]

i havent heard about that one but thats a thing with modern war epics in russia. Visually they may be good, like ant pointed out about the new Stalingrad. but the story usually sucks. If its about war it will surely have a love story that overshadows the war, it will historically inaccurate in many things, and it will probably pour shit on Soviet history. I feel its a pattern. Btw Fedor Bindarchuk is a fairly popular director in russia, but he started out as a clipmaker and it shows. many tend to not take his films seiously. Now his father was the GOAT as a director.

[@Ellwoodsss1]

It's about an "undead" German Tiger and crack t34 crew of 3(?), Their tank commander being a reborn supernatural 2nd Lt. That can communicate with the tank God. Yeah the plot is wacky as hell but they used all real tanks as they have pretty good access to those over there. If you can suspend the goofy plot it's worth watching if you're into that stuff. T34 came out a few years ago and I think it's a lot better than White Tiger. The plot is much more plausible and the love story is there but kept to a minimum. Russians seem to be pretty good at tank movies. There was a miniseries I watched on Netflix a few years ago about the house that was defended by a platoon in Stalingrad. I think it was loosely based on Vasily Grossman too. Called Life and Fate or something like that, it was really really good. It was Russian made and didn't sugar-coat how jacked up being in the Russian Army was, dealing with political influence and commisars

[@GeorgeLiquor]

You can't make a movie about the Indianapolis without a young Quint as the main character. It's the only prequel that wouldn't make me vomit

[@mattyboyanderson]

I wouldn't wish for such a thing these days. It would just be an opportunity to make Quint black, gay, or trans. Or to reveal a fabricated gay relationship between Quint and a shipmate. If Quint is white and straight, they'll write in something like he raped a shark and caused the whole incident. Anything to weaken the legacy of a classic character. I put nothing past current-day Hollywood.

I think English accents are more believable to us because it’s harder to read overacting. To us, all accents other than ours already sound like overacting but we know they aren’t. But it’s easy to see that Nick Cage is a total fake because I know what it would sound like if I pretended I was a good actor. I went to a Chaldean mass once (Afghan and Iraqi Christians) and they do the whole thing in their language and even part of it in Aramaic. It was amazing for the simple reason that I couldn’t understand what they were saying.
