Saving Private Ryan, Steven Spielberg, 1998, Nuff said!
July 17th, 2009 at 6:55 am
The most action packed World War II film ever made in my opinion is “The Bridge on the River Kwai”. The release date was 10/02/1957 and the director was David Lean.
July 17th, 2009 at 8:23 am
My husband could watch this type of film all day long – as a matter of fact, he does!! His favorite was \"Tora, Tora, Tora\" – Mine is \"Bridge on the River Kwai\" – The music is what sets that one apart for me – 1957 (The year I graduated High School)
July 17th, 2009 at 8:24 am
The Black Book, directed by Paul Verhoeven and released in 2006!
July 17th, 2009 at 9:15 am
My choice would be The Longest Day. Not only was the subject, D-Day probably the most important event in the war and the action scenes were so powerful but the cast, John Wayne, Sean Connery, Richard Burton, Henry Fonda, and Peter Lawford, is enough to blow the mind of even the most experienced movie affectionado in any genre.
July 17th, 2009 at 10:07 am
Asked hubby and he said: Saving Private Ryan, directed by Steven Speilberg in 1998!
Thanks

Tora Tora Tora, direced by :Kinji Fukasaku, Richard Fleischer, Toshio Masuda 1970. My grandfather served in WWII as a fighter pilot, the stories he tells about it are incredible. I have watched WWII movies with him and it is surreal because he lived it.
