What are some good movies about WWII?

Asked by Berserker (33548points) March 29th, 2011

There’s Schindler’s List of course, saw that long ago. I also like The Pianist. Roman Polanski, the director, says he wanted to reflect in the movie as much as he could on what it was really like for someone being persecuted in WWII. (which he went through himself) He avoided Hollywood. It’s a great movie, but pretty disturbing, too. Inglorious Bastards was good too, but I think I’d have to re watch it again to fully understand everything. Was kinda tipsy at the time of viewing though. I also saw Downfall, which was pretty good, and Mein Kampf, (technically not about WWII, but it couldn’t be any more related) which I liked a little less. I don’t get all that hypnotism stuff…
So those are the all the ones I know about. Do you guys know about any other ones you could suggest? Maybe lesser known ones. This isn’t typically my genre, so I only know the ones everyone knows about. Help?
