Most of these movies listed are just all time greats. There are a few thought that I cant stand like that damn Behind Enemy Lines and by the way if anyone says Pearl Harbour I am going to beat you up through my computer screen in Mexico!
 
In all seriousness though, I thought that the actual attack sequences in Pearl Harbor were extremely well done. The CGI looked almost flawless, and it all looked very realistic. Even the part with USS Oklahoma capsizing. I thought it captured what the horror of that day must have been like as well as a movie can capture such a thing. It left me with the feeling of "I'm sure as hell glad I wasn't there!". Not many movies manage to pull it off with such realism. I kinda liked the parts with the Japanese planning the attack too.

But then of course the rest of the movie was...not so realistic.
 
I hated the story line. It was not about Pearl Harbor but rather a chick flick. Same thing with Titanic. That movie was not actually about the Titatic. The whole iceberg stuff was just a backdrop for Leo porking whatever he damn name was again.
 
The problem is that the story line is what brings in the tickets to pay for the movie so we can watch the planes (and sometimes other things).

One I just saw 'Fighter Squadron' depicting P-47s in the early part of the escorting fron oct '43 to June '44. I thought the story line was more representitive of the P-38 missions as they concentrated on the long range escorting before the P-47s could go the distance. The flying sequences are great esp if you like the P-47s.

It still has its share of chick flick too.

... True!

I'm a WWII person. >>; Though I loved the book All Quiet on the Western Front, I haven't seen the movie. =( The book was excellent though.

1. The Longest Day
2. Battle of Britain
3. Saving Private Ryan
4. Band of Brothers
5. The Pianist (Don't know if that would count, but I thought it was well done. )

I still want to see that movie about Marseille. He's been my main Luftwaffe interest lately. =| Has anyone seen it and can tell me if it's good?
 
It is just my opinion of that photo. He kind of looks well lets say very masculine. Just my opinion and it was not meant to offend anyone. Not all of his photos look like that and he was a great pilot.
