How about Oscar's Best Foreign Language film for 2002, No Man's Land?

Black Hawk Down

[paeng]

But wouldn't plot, characterization, and sincerity play more important roles in evaluating film?

Hey Guys!

for me i want windtalkers, pearl harbor, saving Private Ryan, Thin red line to name a few. These are war movies produced just recently. I go for the recently produced war movies because of their excellent sound format. If you a have at least the receiver with a 5.1 audio, then i really recommend these movies. M using  receiver with a 7.1 audio output capability, meaning it can process ex or es encoded audio signals these signals can mostly be on dvd movies produced just recently.

Just would like to start a discussion thread on World War II DVD Movies.  Here are some from my collection:

A Bridge Too Far
     An epic retelling of World War II's most tragic blunder, A Bridge Too Far meticulously depicts the ambitious plan which resulted in more Allied casualties than the entire Normandy landing (The Longest Day)



Battle of Britain
     A spectacular retelling of a true story that shows courage at its inspiring best.  Few defining moments can change the outcome of the war.  But when the outnumbered Royal Air Force defied insurmountable odds in engaging the German Luftwaffe, they may well have altered the course of history!



Is Paris Burning?
     The explosive, courage-filled story of the Allied Resistance and the Paris Liberation of 1944.



The Bridge At Remagen
     1945: The Allies are making their final advance into German territory, and only one strategic bridge on the Rhine River remains in Nazi hands.  Both sides have much to gain: the Germans, the lives of 50,000 soldiers stationed on the wrong side of the bridge; and the Allies, a quicker end to the war with fewer lives lost.

Your could order The World at War at Amazon for $112.  The set is 11 DVDs.  Total running time is 38 hours (26 hours of original episodes plus 12 hours of additional episodes).  It's a black and white documentary, narrated by Laurence Olivier.  After you've gone through the entire set, you'll feel like you've been part of the era yourself.  I used to watch this on TV when I was a kid, it scared the living crap out of me.

I think the best World War II film is Panaghoy sa Suba, hehe just joking...

It's Isao Takahata's Grave of the Fireflies... the film is emotionally heavy and very very unforgettable.

It's the only animated film I've seen so far that's a real tear jerker.
