Worst ww2 movie

[Walkwolf]

One called: 'Five for Hell' is crap. It looks like some grade school kids
could have produced it. Most of the action scenes are repeated
several times throughout the movie........

I'm going to vote for 'The Thin Red Line'. I fell asleep when I went to the cinema to watch it and tried watching it once more since, same result. I just can't get into it.
Another poor film is the 1965 'The Battle of the Bulge' very poor research, props, tanks, location(Spain???????), weather(see previous), the list goes on! That one could benefit from a Hanks/Spielberg re-make.

'The Dirty Dozen' and 'Casualties of War' both great entertaining films IMO.

What do you think about "Saving Private Ryan"?

[Adrian]

I always thought "Pearl Harbour" was the Madame in "Moulin Rouge" !

HaHa! Very good!

I've watched it many many times. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Saving Private Ryan is one of the best films ever made !

I so agree with you on The Battle Of The Bulge..horrendous film, the German tanks were a joke, amongst many other things, including a mis-cast Robert Shaw!

I suppose you have to make a distinction between Z grade productions with no budgets and those films with actors, resources etc that should be able to be a decent show.

PS-'Battle of the Bulge' must be the only film ever where the Shermans weren't even Shermans-played by Chaffee light tanks!

You dont't think it was a bit too overly saturated with US/allied patriotism? I actually think Hanks does better work in comedies, plus the whole plot is kinda cheesy.... why would they want to sacrifice all those good soldiers to rescue Ryan (on top of it all played by Matt Damon) ?

On the whole I think SPR failed... I guess it scores points as far as cinematography and attention to most details goes, but for me? when I receive it on BD? I actually regretted having ordered it at all.... I'd much rather have an "unbiased" documentary providing a genuine allied or axis perspective than this Hollywood thing, it just didn't sit well with me at all.
