...and favorite WWII Movies?

[martx-5]

The Caine Mutiny

Ok, I'm not a history expert, but I'm pretty sure that wasn't set in WWII :wink:

Sure it was. The Caine Mutiny. You're thinking of 'Mutiny on the Bounty'.

Memphis Bell

Not WWII, but cold war - Strategic Air Command with Jimmy Stewart.

Basil, what's going on here... The Memphis Belle was a B-17 WWII Bomber.

BTW, there are some really great flicks being mentioned here, and when any of them come on TV I will most likely watch it. But, if I really had to pick a favorite, the vote would have to go to <span style="font-style: italic">Das Boot.</span> It really doesn't seem to matter whether you watch it in German or English. Once you've seen it in English, watching in German makes it so much more real and authentic...if that's even possible. What a movie.

You're right, I was thinking of "Mutiny on the Bounty" my bad...

Interesting tidbit on there about the Director of the Caine Mutiny and his "affiliations"

I know - I listed two movies....Strategic Air Command is the one I'm saying isn't WWII era - it's early cold war era (post WWII).
