Enemy at the Gates was a good movie about the snipers in Stalingrad.

Who is going to see a movie about Nazis versus Communists?
There’s no rooting interest.
Stalingrad: An IMAX 3D Experience
There are some good movies from Europe and Asia. I have the 7 hour version of War and Peace, both the cut for TV KULTUR version and the better Russian Cinema Council widescreen version. I first saw it on TV back in 1971. Great movie that makes the Henry Fonda version look like Cliff’s Notes.
Also have WATERLOO Rod Stieger and Christopher Plummer) with battle scenes directed by Bondarchuk.
9TH Company directed by son of Bondarchuk.
Also COME AND SEE, a very brutal film (Just ignore the comment section by Sean Penn).
Also have a German version of STALINGRAD.
And ATTACK ON LENINGRAD.
A few others I have recently acquired are..
Stosstrupp 1917
Westfront 1918
Mountain in Flames.
And many more.
Goof: If you have the Russian version of War and Peace, look close at the battle of Bordino. You will see a few troops in the background with bolt action rifles.
What pisses me off are the infiltrator cold war relic type of trolls who have hit forums making Russians look bad.
Its a different Russia now a days.
Russia has....been there..done that. They dumped socialism
Americans are not acting hard enough to refuse socialism AND Islamic invasion.
Russians are earning respect, America has lost it.
I loved the Sochii games, all I saw for two weeks was complaints and whiners on many forums. Russians did dam good, all around, period. They did not cheat, nor did they whine.
‘7 hours masterpiece “War and Peace”.’
Yeah, I didn’t see the movie, but I did go and see the off-Broadway production of, ‘War, What Is It Good For?’.
Cornelius Ryan wrote 3 WW2 books. The one about Berlin describe some of the brutality.
