My favorite movie is Casablanca, which is centered around WWII but isn't exactly a "war" movie.

Enough said....OG movie....
How in the F would that look like today?
Sitting in class or work....seeing parachutes landing quickly outside your place. That chit would be intense and trying to look at who they're. What do you do if you see another country uniform or nationality by the dozens? Really just think about that.

Ha!! Lots of truth….probably the easiest way to transfer large amounts of tax payer money….then when we discover the receipts years later we find $10,000 payments for ten 5lb bags of screwdrivers.

Longest Day might have set the record for most "A-List" actors in one movie. It's a good one I have not seen in a while, have to watch it again soon.

"Gone With the Wind" is incredible, but does it qualify as a war movie?
If so, it's definitely in the best 3.

A really good war movie that most haven't seen is called Come and See. It is about the German invasion of Belarus in WWII. It is in Russian so you have to read subtitles but it really gives an idea how the killing squads of the Einsatzgruppen operated and the horror they wrought upon the land.
