What is the last WW2 Film or Series you saw?

Twelve O'Clock High

 

The Pacific.

 

Anzacs the Series (Paul Hogan) after I got it out of the box to scan. Couldn't just put it away again.

 

Just saw Das Boot again for the third time. Very realistic, simply superb!

 

Kelley's Heroes again.

 

Sink the Bismarck

 

Just bought a Band of Brothers boxed DVD set & re-watched the Carentan and Holland episodes.

Actually better than I remembered first time 'round......

 

Currently watching The Pacific.

 

Am watching Colditz!

 

The Great Escape
The Pianist

 

The original Inglorious Bastards.

 

The Big Red One - The Reconstruction.

The writer and Director Samuel Fuller was a WW2 Vet of the US Army 1st Div.

Lee Marvin ex USMC veteran

 

The Great Escape and The Dambusters once again. They are as always great entertainment!

 

Tha Band of Brothers, The Pacific, Bridge Too Far

 

A Dutch film called 'Oorlogswinter'

 

A Bridge to Far and Battle of Britain, one has to while away the time whilst suffering the Flu

 

'Twelve O'Clock High'-a brilliant character study with almost no conventional 'action' but gripping throughout; one of my top five war films. Clips are still used in leadership seminars, notably Gregory Peck's first address to his demoralised bomber crews. There's a similar and according to some people even better film called 'Command Decision' starring Clark Gable which I'm afraid to say that I've never seen.

Watched the last four discs of Band of Brothers last night and hear of Dick Winters death today.

 

Coincidentally I seem to remember that there is a sequence in the 'B of B' series where Winters gives a very similar speech to the 'think of yourselves as already dead' address delivered by Gregory Peck in 'Twelve O'Clock High'. It's the 'Carentan' episode when he speaks to the shellshocked Albert Blithe (who apparently didn't die in 1948 as it claims in the series). That bit of the speech doesn't appear in the 'B of B' book so I wonder if it was a deliberate tribute by the scriptwriters? Incidentally, the wikipedia entry for B of B, which I glanced at when making this post, already records Winters' death.
