“Is Paris Burning?” is another good one.

I’ve seen five of those. Patton is more to my taste in movies.

“Wołyn” makes Come and See seem like a comedy.

Well, at least the author spared us Henry Fonda's Battle of the Bulge. My late Dad used to invite apoplexy by watching that little perennial groaner.

Robert Shaw played the German commander in BATTLE OF THE BULGE...It was an OK movie...Not great...

I thought I would read a list of movies, all of which I had seen. I am amazed that I havent seen a lot of these.

I guess I got some watchin’ to do.

I’m not a film buff, but I never heard of seven of the ten. I expected to see “The Longest Day,” “Tora! Tora! Tora!,” “The Dirty Dozen,” and a couple of others. Maybe the author’s focus was different than mine.

Absolutely.

Given the tone of the article and some of the comments, I'll bet he is a leftie.

My father fought on Guam and Okinawa with the Sixth Marine Division, so he wasn’t involved in the Iwo Jima campaign, but I once watched the John Wayne movie with him and he thought it was realistic.

I know, but they did an exceptional job of ending on an upbeat note, making even the failed escapes important for the war effort.

THE GREAT ESCAPE did have a scene where Germans executed recaptured prisoners...

None of those is loved as much as "The Great Escape" or "The Longest Day."

And no Andrzej Waja? No Kanal?

I mentioned “Katyń”

Another good Polish movie, “Westerplatte”.
