How can you call a movie about Waterloo that doesn't have single Prussian soldier in it a great movie! :mad: Waterloo the movie is a typical Anglicised version of history that completely neglects the largest army in the field (Prussian!) during the 100 day campaign. Garbage! Phoowee!

    Hmm......I distinctly recall seeing Blucher unhorsed at Ligny in this movie and towards end there are several hundred Prussians depicted (how could you miss Steigers extreme over-acting at news that Prussians have arrived !!)

    As always other movies I like (historical ropeyness not withstanding) which are not already mentioned are

    Hell Is For Heroes

    Bridge At Remagen

    Kellys Heroes

    Longest Day

    Patton

    Young Lions

    Of course Cross Of Iron is still the best but then I may be tad biased smile.gif

    Cheers</font>

    Braveheart is a good movie but it is way too historically inaccurate. In the first battle of Stirling Bridge, where is the bridge? And during 1270 or so it said that the scots were fighting the english, but they werent until King Alexander died. I just don't like it... I thought Band of Brothers was alright.

    Yeah, I was gonna give Braveheart 5 stars for visual (battles) quality lowered to 3 stars for historical correctness (or lack of) but then I thought about Mel Gibson in a kilt (boy is he cute!) and moved it back up to 5 stars! :D

    I can't believe no one mentioned 'The Winter War'. It is a excellent film made in Finnland, availible through Belle and Blade. The T-26's and wave attacks are fairly well represented, as is the life of a Finnish soldier being subjected to endless barrages, A must see!! Also not WW2 but 'Waterloo' with Rod Stieger as Napoleon was the greatest war film ever!
