There's a few lists, this one seemed to be a little less Hollywood oriented ;-)

A list of great war movies that has escape to victory in it was enough to make me stop looking.

...Or "The Keep". In my humble opinion, a horror fantasy romp that happens to be set in WW2 doesn't qualify as a WW2 film as such. There are some other odd choices in that list, as well. (But then, war makes strange bedfellows, they say.)

A somewhat random selection-'Triumph of the Will' isn't a WW2 film for the pretty obvious reason it was made in 1935...looking forward to 'The Small Back Room' coming on the TV here in half an hour-a great film on boffins and bomb disposal.

A subjective list, obviously, but being chosen by Tarantino did not generate confidence. A cartoon in the top 10? Oh, so tres chic.
" Escape to Victory" and " The Keep"? Pure dreck, along with a number of others on this list.
No "Twelve O'clock High"? Absurd. Well, at least no "Midway", or "Battle of the Bulge".
Nevertheless, I can agree with less than half of those films listed.
