I still like "The Longest Day". It was better than a lot of Hollywood movies.

LOL!
I like this one from BG Norm Cota on Omaha Beach: "I don't have to tell you the story. You all know it. Only two kinds of people are gonna stay on this beach: those that are already dead and those that are gonna die! Now get off your butts! You guys are the Fighting 29th!"
From what I've read, the movie version is pretty close to the truth, with Cota personally organizing and pushing those guys off the beach.
