Same here.
“BOB” is one of the best, with the most well-developed storylines and characters. “SPR” was good, but it was sort of a stereotype (NY accents, token jew, etc.)

However, I think the American-centric take tends to short-change our views on the subject.

“Das Boot”, anyone? Amazing movie.
Or how about the more recent, “Stalingrad”.

Great films from other countries that were fighting WWII for a few years more than the US.

Different takes, different action.

“Yesterday’s Enemy”: a good “hidden” British WWII film about action in Burma. While it goes into the anti war mode, it was gritty and had good actors from what I recall. Been awhile since I have seen it, tho’...

Or how about the more recent, “Stalingrad”.

Or "Enemy at the Gates" - the first thirty minutes of that movie is even more gut-wrenching than the opening of Private Ryan - where the poor conscripts are stuck between the machine guns of the Nazis and the machine guns of their commanders.

I thought Gallipoli with Mel Gibson was a pretty good pic.

Or how about the more recent, “Stalingrad”.

Makes a great German-language double feature with Der Untergang.

I think Enemy at the Gates is a great movie.

The Director's Cut is phenomenal.

I watched them both. Stalingrad was exceptional. It reminded me a bit of Cross of Iron w/James Coburn. Enemy at the Gates was also excellent.

Yes, but if we hadn't gotten into it, WWII might still be going on.
