Patton, Midway, The Longest Day for movies. For documentaries "Victory at Sea" is the absolute best. There was also a documentary titled "The Battle of the Bulge", not to be confused with the movie of the same title. These are all historically based IMO.

"Some" other Hollywood movies, while entertaining, are not exactly accurate. Not gonna name titles 'cause you might enjoy them anyway. Just sayin'.

I saw an Aussie-made movie called "The Highest Honor" that is worth a look too if you can find it, although I would rate it "R" for one particular scene.

There was an obscure title made in 1969 that included Yul Bryner called "The Battle of Neretva" that showed on cable a few years ago that I thought was interesting too.

Anything made during the war that starred John Wayne is good, particularly "The Sands of Iwo Jima" and "The Flying Tigers".

Hey... someone could start a WWII movie ping list...

What was that mini-series that starred Meryl Streep and James Woods? Was it “Holocaust”? That was good, too.
