[@anthonyconigliaro9521]

I think that you did a pretty good job with this list, but "The Hurt Locker" doesn't belong. I am an Iraq veteran. The idea that an EOD team would do anything other than EOD is foolish. They are an extremely valuable asset and are very well protected. They do not make their own missions, engage as a sniper team or (the best) pull on wires attached to explosives. The idea that war is a grand horror show and that there is a great deal of moral ambiguity on the battlefield is much better documented in other places. The complete lack of reality in that movie really took me out of it. And no, I have nothing against women directing any movies. Kathryn Bigelow appeared to do a great job in "Zero Dark Thirty" and "K-19," but as I am neither CIA or navy, I will not comment on their accuracy. Her movie "Near Dark" may be one of the absolute best horror movies ever made, and that is another genre not known as being dominated by women. By the way, Donald Pleasence from "The Great Escape," was an actual WW II British POW.

[@mikefarrell734]

Have to agree though I've not had military experience ( my dad was both a Marine and a GI so he told me plenty of war stories he told me not to join up cause Vietnam was just Bullshit) somehow it didn't strike me a legitimate war film there was a similar film made back in the 50s name escapes me but it was pretty similar it dealt with men chosen to diffuse bombs after WW 2 PS I salute you for your service

[@newsguy5241]

The only reason "The Hurt Locker" got nominated and even won was because it was directed by a woman. It was the era of the "Me Too" movement It was a politically motivated choice.

[@mikexxxmilly]

I am not a veteran but three of my best friends are and all three served early in the Iraq War as well as Afghanistan later. We caught it in theaters and while watching I knew immediately how unrealistic it was as my buddies starting cracking up. When he grabs that barret I was like wait what? lmao. You just a sniper all of a sudden? The tugging on the wires to pull the explosives out of the ground was hilarious as well, that being said I love that movie. Its very entertaining and I do think it touched on some good psychological effects of being in situations like that. Obviously its much easier for someone like me to be entertained by it as I wasn't actually there but I totally get why actual veterans would not be able to sit through it.

The Great Escape used the idea of a real escape plan that was used by American, British and Canadian POW and they were 6-8 of them who thought of digging a tunnel through the toilet but they got caught and was all later shot. The Great Escape was an alternate scenario of the escape so why is it even on the list, I don't know.

[@bramscheDave]

Agreed. We were men left me shaking and an ex-soldier visited me and we watched it together and he said it was very harrowing. Lots of good films missing. The Last Samurai was again very moving, especially the last battle scene, it left me unable to talk for around 20 minutes after the first viewing. Likewise, Bridge and Escape included, yet Lawrence of Arabia was shown as a film that didn't qualify, because of the lack of battle scenes? It is has many battle scenes, certainly more than the two PoW films... How about Tora Tora Tora! The Cruel Sea, Enemy Below? There are dozens of worthy films out there. I agree with most of the selections, but I disagree with some. There were also no flyer films, of which there are many excellent ones. Southern Belle, Battle of Britain, Blue Max...

"Enemy at the Gates" piece of shit! This film has fully demonstrated the degree of ignorance of the Western public about the war in the east.This film is a complete collection of Western myths about the war. It has everything, "human wave", "one rifle for three", "terrible NKVD agents" and absolute ignorance about personalities. For example: Khrushchev was a member of the military council, it's like the Commissar at the front commander. He did not have the power to dismiss the front commander.By the way, none of the commanders of the fronts around Stalingrad did not commit suicide. They were all alive until the end of war. Soviet soldiers had enough rifles, because only one factory in Izhevsk, produced 14 thousand rifles PER DAY, and still have plants in Tula, Kovrov and others. The most idiotic scene was about how the haracter of Joseph Fiennes wrote a denunciation of the girl, in which he accuses her of being Jewish (!) I wonder what would be done to him Lev Mehlis chief of all the commissars and a Jewish? State anti-Semitism in the USSR fiction Western propagandists.

[@Spectans1]

Александр Соколов Interesting view. Nonetheless, its a very entertaining movie about horrors of war itself. Historical accuracy is not a priority for me, at least not in this case. If I wanted to know about the specific conflict, I would surely look deeper into it, probably read some well accepted article or a book.

No, the movie isn't anti-german. It shows what the nazis did in Belarus, and it's historical and important for the people to see what happened over there, because when WW2 is discussed, this country is rarely mentioned, and they went through their troubles. Just because a movie shows historical facts of the aggression of one country against another that doesn't mean that the people watching are against that country, specially after so many years.

True, and it showed that the enemy can be your own officers ordering you to die for absolutely no reason.

I like your list a lot! but really do you place "enemy at the gates" in the list? this movie was full of shit. I dont know . In the other hand Come and See is really a great movie!

[@ks2884]

9th company is a great movie but the action is not happening during the major war.

[@jackbrabham]

Jesus, they didn't bother to mention "Enemy at the Gates". What a joke

[@stevebird7265]

No American hero's in it!.

[@JustinBaiThechickennuggetman]

Enemy at the Gates is a sh*tty movie, So many historical inaccuracies. I know some of these movies here aren't any better, but a russian soldier with a british accent?

[@MrVivostiano]

[@AlASokolov]

"Enemy at the Gates" piece of shit! This film has fully demonstrated the degree of ignorance of the Western public about the war in the east.This film is a complete collection of Western myths about the war. It has everything, "human wave", "one rifle for three", "terrible NKVD agents" and absolute ignorance about personalities. For example: Khrushchev was a member of the military council, it's like the Commissar at the front commander. He did not have the power to dismiss the front commander.By the way, none of the commanders of the fronts around Stalingrad did not commit suicide. They were all alive until the end of war. Soviet soldiers had enough rifles, because only one factory in Izhevsk, produced 14 thousand rifles PER DAY, and still have plants in Tula, Kovrov and others. The most idiotic scene was about how the haracter of Joseph Fiennes wrote a denunciation of the girl, in which he accuses her of being Jewish (!) I wonder what would be done to him Lev Mehlis chief of all the commissars and a Jewish? State anti-Semitism in the USSR fiction Western propagandists.

Wow I can’t believe Glory was an Honorable Mention easily one of the greatest and underrated war movies ever
