I also rewatched both and they are both better the second time. Also if you like The Pacific, watch Ken Burns "The War". In it you get to meet the real Eugene Sledge, Sid Phillips and the wonderful Belle of the South, Katherine Phillips. All Mobile natives.

Fury...a look at the good and bad character traits of our grandfathers. Some were model citizens, some weren’t what you might prefer to bring home to thanksgiving dinner...all heroes

We were soldiers once..and young....the real story of the young men who were raised by the aforementioned patriots who stepped up to the plate (whether voluntarily or drafted) to serve....they came from a different dynamic than our grandfathers but were still willling to give their all. Their sacrifice began the transition of virtually all of our enemies from a direct line engagement strategy. That took character and intestinal fortitude regardless of their flower power generation.

The horse soldiers hasn't been mentioned until now. It may not be on Netflix yet though. Good movie.

Hacksaw ridge is great.

We were soldiers.

Beast's of no nation is a bit tough to watch, but it will make you stop and think about how well we have it here in the good old USA, and also about the condition of humanity as a whole.

Enemy at the Gates

Starring Jude Law and Rachel Weisz (Hottie!)

It's about the German siege at Stalingrad and the sub story of the most successful Russian sniper in history. Great movie with a good story line and good to see some Mosin-Nagants killing Germans.

Operation Pacific, Crash Dive, the fighting Seebee's, Destination Tokyo, or if you want to laugh check out Operation Petticoat...

I don't usually like a war movie made after 1979 but I have to say Hacksaw Ridge is a great movie, before ya'll jump on me Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers are two of my favorites...

And not very factual. Watch "To End All Wars." The Japanese brutality is sickening.

Aside from the usual Suspects that have already been mentioned... Platoon, FMJ, Lone Survivor and American Sniper, etc..... Always have loved the John Wayne movies.. The Green Berets and Sands of Iwo Jima. I think The Guns of Navarone, Lawrence of Arabia and Where Eagles Dare probably deserve a mention.

There are some great movies that have come out on Iraq and Afghanistan that are more of a documentary type format but I have found them to be very entertaining without all the Hollywood unrealistic made up action. As I remember they don't really have that much of a narrator talking over the whole show like something you would watch on regular TV. They were as good as anything mentioned above that is Hollywood Fake in my book.

Check out these three movies/documentary: The Hornets Nest, Restrepo and Korengal

The Longest Day is a must see as far as old WW2 movies.

The Lighthorsemen is a good WWI movie about Australian Cavalry fighting the Germans and the Turks in what is now modern day Israel.

Great suggestions.


Another good WWII movie is Defiance. True story of group of Jews escaping Nazi persecution and joining up with Russian resistance fighters to stay hidden and attack Nazi patrols.

I can't believe no one has mentioned Hamburger Hill... And Gettysburg is a pretty good movie.


Yeah, well, I always heard there were three kinds of suns in Kansas: sunshine, sunflowers, and sons-of-bitches.

Inglourious Basterds is a good one if you haven't seen it.

Fury except for the language. The biggest dissapointment was dunkirk.

Watch the German language Das Boot with subtitles. Better than the Americanized version.

By the way if anyone liked Das Boot you need to find the book "The Admiral's Wolfpack" it is a factual account of the German U-Boats from WWI through WWII and parts of it are absolutely riveting. I found it the first time at beach vacation rental "borrow a book and leave a book" libraries at the condos where we were staying and I blew through the thing while sitting on the beach in just a few days. I couldn't put it down. Loaned the paperback to someone and never got it back, but then years later found the hardcover in a thrift store and it's been in my library ever since.

That was better than I expected. We stumbled upon that while surfing the movies on Amazon Prime.
