A very common genre but it also very dissimilar from each other. I'm counting movies so tv-series like Band of Brothers and others are not in. A very personal selection and i have, i am sure, forgotten some in my haste. So, in no specific order:
1. Where Eagles Dare (1968, Richard Burton, Clint Eastwood)
2. The Great Escape (1963, R. Attenborough, S. McQueen, C. Bronson)
3. The Dirty Dozen (1967, Lee Marvin, C. Bronson, T. Savalas, J. Brown)
4. Inglorious besterds (2009,Tarantino, B.Pitt, Diane Kruger, C. Waltz)
5. Stalag 17 (1953, W. Holden, O. Preminger, R. Strauss, D. Taylor)
6. Schindlers List (1993, L. Neeson, B. Kingsley, R. Fiennes)
7. The Bridge On The River Kwai (1957, A. Guinness, W. Holden)
8. The Big Red One (1980, Wardrama Samuel Fuller, Lee Marvin)
9. Sophie Scholl - The Final Days ( 2005, great german war drama, Julia Jentsch)
10. The Longest Day (1962, H. Fonda, R. Ryan, J. Wayne, P. Lawford)
There have been o so many more but i tried to go for some different kinds of movies too. 6,8 and 9 are essentially wardramas, 2,5 and 7 are POW-movies. 1,3 and 4 are movies about daring missions during the war and 10 is an epic D-Day movie.
