That's funny, Some days ago, someone posted a youtube link and after watching this video I toke my copy of The Longest day and watched it.

Must have seen it several times now.

One of the few war films that did a good job.

And here's too the Veterans.

I just watched "Hunt the Bismark" on Youtube a few weeks back, also a great movie

Think I need to see Tora, Tora, Tora again, while I still have WWII Naval battle fever.
Any other recomendations? (apart from the above -and Das boot for obvious reasons)

Battle of Britain. Not a navy movie at all, but one of the best airwar films ever.

Still one of the greatest '

' moments in history I'd say...

Interesting family story about that movie. In the Pointe Du Hoc scene my uncle's national guard unit was used as extras. Unfortunately the shot showing him was cut from the final film.

Must have watched it at least a dozen times especially as a kid, I pretty much quote it everyday

Check out the book the movie is based on- "So Sad to Fall in Battle" by Kumiko Kakehashi.

Excellent read.

Puts quite the human face on the "other side".
