To Das Boot I would add Der Untergang (Downfall) absolutely superb. Now that the Germans feel able to make films about WW2 they make very good ones.
It's too bad that this is limited to WW2 movies, so I can't include the movie that p!ssed me off almost as bad as Pearl Harbor. (Hint: ALL the Fokker Dr-1's are red)
I'm not too big on any of the 1960's "Fantasy" war movies, but the ones that supposedly were about real battles, but went on a strange tangent, (The Battle of the Bulge), are deserving of scorn.
I agree that "U-571" was insulting to the men that did the real job.
On a side note, "Band of Brothers" was written from memories of the men that lived it.

What's your problem with "Saving Private Ryan"? Its about Americans in batlle in Normandy. So what if the Brits and Canadians were not shown? Make your own freaking movie and exclude the Americans if you think you need balance.
BTW; have you heard of the U505? Captured by the USN and on display in Chicago.

When the director was asked about that, he said he wanted to keep the DR.1s all red so people could tell who the bad guys were...It's too bad that this is limited to WW2 movies, so I can't include the movie that p!ssed me off almost as bad as Pearl Harbor. (Hint: ALL the Fokker Dr-1's are red)
