Anyone comparing a Quentin Tarantino crap film with quality War Films like This film, or The Bridge on the River Kwai, or any number of other good war films....

Should be shot.

Oh I get that Tarantino has his fan base....

But his "style" if you call it that, has no business in serious war films of any quality.

I joined the Navy to see the world, only to discover the world is 2/3 water!

His war movies are basicly the only ones he makes that I simply will not watch. I enjoy the director's style, but a war movie should be more serious and less about style. His remind me of some of the silly war movies from the 50s-80s period such as the Dirty Dozen etc.

- Stalingrad
- Enemy at the gates (even though the movie sucks, it has a nice atmosphere and I really like the cinematography. And it has the always awesome Bob Hoskins in it)
- The longest day

I'm just on my way up to Clavius.

My favourite War films are

-Downfall (Battle of Berlin and inside Hitler's Bunker).
-The Bunker (same story as Downfall, but made in English during the 70s and takes place entirely in the Bunker).
-We Were Soldiers (First Vietnam War film stated to be acurate by Veterans)
-Dunkirk (1958 film. black and white film largely focused squad lost from it's unit whilst retreating).
-The 9th Company (Soviet's in Afganistan in the 80s).
-1944 (The Finnish film not the other with the same name). Shows the Finns using any captured materials alongside some German ones to fend of the Soviet advances.
-Tora Tora Tora (Pearl Harbour attack)
-Letters from Iwo Jima (US invasion of the island from the Japanese perspective).
-Cross of Iron (Eastern Front WW2).
-Battle of Britain.

The Cruel Sea

One movie I'd recommend is the Norwegian The 12th man. It's a true story happening in WWII Norway you won't forget.
And another true story is about Francisco Boix and his life in a concentration camp, The photographer of Mauthausen. Both movies are on Netflix.

Like Das Boot, none of these two movies are in English.
