Good movies (not sub-related):
Tora! Tora! Tora! (outstanding history, great movie as well)
Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo (slows down in the middle, as it's one man's true story) but great carrier and flight scenes)
Wake Island (made during the war, propoganda, but informative and good)
Midway (way too much romance and fiction, but gives a good overview of the battle, and some good aircraft shots)
Flags Of Our Fathers (mostly about the aftermath, but still good battle scenes)
Letters From Iwo Jima (great movie about the Japanese side, and marks Clint Eastwood's entry into the Great Directors Of All Time category)
The Great Raid (little-known recent film, tells the true story of a prisoner-of-war-camp liberation)
Help me out here, guys. Movies that tell the story of the Pacific war.
