Well, i try something different. I'll put some "no good" movies in my taste.
Valkyrie (2008), starring Tom Cruise and Bill Nighy.
I think it is boring. And if you want to learn about the stuff, better watch documentaries. The only good thing is because the Germans speak the correct language. In here, you can see a glimpse about how Count von Stauffenberg get his injuries in North Africa until the demise of "Valkyrie". However, you won't see his brilliant early days in Ostfront.
Pearl Harbor (2001), starring Ben Affleck, Josh Hartnett, Kate Beckinsale and Alec Baldwin.
It is not about war really, however it has some interesting scenes about the opening of Pacific theater. It is two movies in one that Michael Bay apparently want to make. The first is the drama, the second is the historical "semi-jingoism". Put it together, the drama get bigger proportion and more elaboration (okay we get it), and the later perhaps have some that "2001 event" effect fast-forwarded. War and love sure does make a sexy theme, but this just isn't that good. Watch it to see some cool actions and special effects in Battle of Britain, Attack on Pearl Harbor, and Doolittle raid.
This month, MGM channel is going to run War Movies (particularly WW2) to commemorate 60 years of the start of WW2 (the Poland invasion version). Some of the titles are: Tobruk (any info?), Guns of Navarone (starred by favorite actor, Gregory Peck... though it is fictional), and so on.
Also requesting an info about this particular war movie:
I don't know the title, but it is certainly depicted in the open wide dessert, an American tank and a group of people is stranded in the middle of nowhere, attacked by Bf-109 in a comedic scene where the team has to switch covering position side-to-side waiting the Bf-109 to turn around and strafe without any effect on the tank again and again until it ran out of ammo, shot down by the tank's AA MG.
Could be this movie
