However, that being said, I agree that many of the films mentioned here were obviously quite good. Nevertheless, I do have a couple of very specific favorites, one of which, I think, would be very little known to military film aficionados. My personal favorite since I'd seen it is The Great Raid, about the rescue of some 100-300 American POWs of the Japanese from their POW camp at Cabanatuan in the Philippines soon after the landing at Luzon. The film, I'd read, was actually disliked by sevl prominent critcs who found it far too accurate to their personal tastes, to the point of actually being boring, other than some extremely slight and, of course, totally fictional Hollywoodization. Given those limitations, however, it must surely rank as one of the most strictly accurate ww2 films ever made, with the actual film of the real survivors and the leaders of the rescue being surely one of the very best and strictly accurate ww2 film renditions of all time. Next mist accurate I've ever seen, and, in fact, quite surprisingly, was the Unbroken film about Capt Louis zamperini done by Angelina Jolie, who was obviously, while amazingly good at letting his story tell itself, also was nevertheless extremely fortunate in having a subject with as highly detailed and well recounted a story as his. Next, watch Prisoners of the Sun, with Bryan brown, Russell crowe in an early performance for him, tesu Watanabe, and, interestingly, George takei ("sulu") in a quite serious role for a change, in which he was actually quite good. The film is a reasonably accurate retelling of the tan toey POW camp the Japanese Navy ran on the island of ambon in, I believe, Indonesia, or near it, for Australian and Dutch POWs and allied aircrew personnel. The following discusses the war crime trials that actually took place on ambon after the Japanese defeat there, and while admittedly perhaps not entirely and strcitly accurate, does actually use the real name of vice ADM Takahashi the Japanese commander. Bryan brown and Russell crowe as well as tetsu Watanabe were all extremely good, and I'd read that the quite understated performance Russell crowe gave actually propelled him considerably to other roles, so I do think it extremely well worth watching. I'm doing this on a tablet that can be quite querelsome so I'm going to send this now and try to add more shortly to avoid losing what I've typed here, hope other find it of interest, of course.Response by Capt Daniel Goodman made Apr 29 at 2016 2:24 AM2016-04-29T02:24:22-04:002016-04-29T02:24:22-04:00Capt Daniel Goodman1487598<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>To continue: I actually found The Thin Red Line based on the 2nd of the James Jones trilogy of novels, the first being From Here to Eternity (which little known had a cameo by George Reeves alongside Burt Lancaster, George Reeves, of course, having played the Superman character on TV in the 50s, and who was also in a little known cameo in gone with the wind, which I actually was an PD am not partial to, but is worth noting from the standpoint of cine!atographic history). The third novel very little known, was Whistle, which I don't think was ever filmed. When The Thin Red Line was first shown, it was very highly oscar nominated, yet won nothing , as I thought the acting extremely good with quite taut performances. I recall reading that the reason saving private Ryan won as many ocsars as it did was because of the opening sequence, which if course, giving the film it's due, was obviously famous. However, while obviously famously accurate, many comparisons between the two films pointed out that the Thin Red Line lost due to the very strong histrionic sentiment and sepia tinted footage techniques used, especially in the scene involving gen Marshall and the Lincoln letter to Mrs bixby. As I understand the actual history, nine of that ever actually occurred. actually wish the film. Had told the true story, for which a very good documentary was actually made that I'd seen, on the history of the niland family of tonawanda NY, that being as I understand the principle incident other than the famous story of the fuve Sullivan brothers lost in the sinking of the USS Juneau and in the aftermath, the documentary recounted from a descendant as well as in the dpnarration, that not all five were lost opin the sinking, that, in fact, though equally tragic, of course, two were lost after while awaiting rescue on the open sea, an example of how hollywoodization alters history and the resulting perspective many viewers derive from watching films, instead of actually reading history per se that's all I trying to say. I'll try to send more shortly , many thanks.Response by Capt Daniel Goodman made Apr 29 at 2016 2:39 AM2016-04-29T02:39:42-04:002016-04-29T02:39:42-04:00Capt Daniel Goodman1487602<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The Thin Red Line as I'd said had some very good performances as I'd said, another interesting Nick nolte film on ww2, he was of course in the Thin Red Line, was farewell to the king, with Nigel havers. Then too, empire of the sun done with Christian Bale based on the autobiography of the boy Christian Bale depicted, while I don't think liked much by critics at the time, I actually found quite good, especially when read alongside the actual book, to compare the two. Cinematographically, however, my all time favorite military movie which I don't know how many here know of, is the 4 hr 1927 silent classic Napoleon , rereleased by Francis food Coppola with the musical score done bynhuis father Carmine Coppola, and which starred Abel gance the director in a supporting role, who was I believe still alive when the film was rereleased. I was very fortunate to see the film dpat it's rereleased with the musical score done by a live symphony orchestra, which, I can very definitely tell all of you, was positively mind boggling. If you've never seen the film, it was to have been the first of a series of biographical films on Napoleon. However, the film technique, which predated wide screen techniques, used three cameras at angles to one another on a single tripod, then fused all three views together in what must surely rank as one of the most incredible early cinematographic feats of the early 20th century. Also, the special effects used, especially during the end sequence, while the Marseilles was playing, along with the makeup techniques used on Albert dieudonne who played Napoleon from the French revolution through the terror on through the battle of Toulon and up to the start of the invasion of Italy, has to be seen to literally be believed. No science fiction film or Cecil b demille epic can match it, I think, especially given that it was done decades before many other ostensibly greater epics were released.Response by Capt Daniel Goodman made Apr 29 at 2016 2:53 AM2016-04-29T02:53:53-04:002016-04-29T02:53:53-04:00Capt Daniel Goodman1487605<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I hope all I listed here was of at least some interest. Im obviously quite fond of good historical military film, though I rather tend to the view that real history, in depictions that purport to be real, should just quite simply be told exactly as incidents occur, with zero hollywoodization, and, also, absolutely zero prarphrasing. I'd of course be most eager for any further discspussion and or feedback by all means, many thanks.Response by Capt Daniel Goodman made Apr 29 at 2016 2:58 AM2016-04-29T02:58:45-04:002016-04-29T02:58:45-04:00SGT David A.

Ones that come to mind are Patton, The Longest Day, Tora Tora Tora, Pearl Harbor, We Were Soldiers, Saving Private Ryan, Inglorious Bastards (original and remake), Balck Hawk Down, American Sniper, and, of course, the HBO series Band of Brothers and The Pacific. Also, "historical" movies like Braveheart and the Patriot are super, as well.Response by COL Jean (John) F.
