Saving Private Ryan goes pretty hard once they're off the beach.
blarghly@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 39d
Same vein as Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers feels to me like the defining WW2 peice of cinema. But its less about killing nazis (which is kind of incidental) and more about bros loving bros.
boaratio@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 39d
I rewatch band of brothers at least once a year. It's so good. My only gripe with it is the David Schwimmer should drill sergeant arch.
MonkeMischief@lemmy.today · 2 pts · 39d
Even as a grown man that show gets me so freaking emotional. Even from the interviews in the very beginning. The opening sequence is beautiful as well.
Siethron@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 39d
Also, while they do kill some Nazis, especially once they get to the camps, most of the Germans they kill are not Nazis, but conscripted late teen/early 20 kids.
5wim@infosec.pub · 1 pts · 38d
Conscripts are Nazis
TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 38d
Band of Brothers is even better than Saving Private Ryan because a dramatised real life experience is better than a fictionalised story at the backdrop of a real event. I think Band of Brothers improved upon on where Saving Private Ryan lacked.
GalacticGrapefruit@lemmy.world · 24 pts · 39d
I'm shocked that no one has mentioned the Rocketeer.
It's a cult movie about an out-of-work pilot and his mechanic who find a jetpack. They want to use it to try and fly more airshows and get out of debt. But the mob wants it back because they stole it for a Hollywood movie star, who's secretly a Nazi spy. And the FBI wants it because they want it back to keep it out of the hands of the Nazis. Meanwhile, the dude is just trying his best to survive, and accidentally ends up being a superhero.
It's such a great movie, if you liked Indiana Jones, you'll like the Rocketeer.

Eddy Valentine casually uttering one of the hardest lines in the movie.

Once you're done with the movies, might I recommend you look into a video game where you get to shoot some Nazis yourself?
The "Wolfenstein" video game series might be a good starting point

Any wolfenstein game in particular you recommend I start at? I play a bit of one forever ago

The New Order is a reboot that doesn’t rely on any other knowledge. Old Colossus is a direct sequel to that.
scoobford@piefed.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 37d
Definitely start with The New Order. If it doesn't run well for you (it is a bit jank) play The New Colossus.
TNO, TNC, and The Old Blood (TOB?) Make up the modern rebooted trilogy. They are sublime even if there's some technical jank until you make it to TNC. If you want more after that, try Return to Castle Wolfenstein. It is very old but very tightly designed.
JigglySackles@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 39d
The other person mentioned the two main new games but I loved Old Blood as well. If you prefer more classical games or styles, Return to Castle Wolfenstein is a great one too.

Oh man! That attack on the fixed artillery and the battle with the Tiger rank as some of the best WWII movie batles.
boaratio@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 39d
I got so obsessed with Fury that I had to look up what Shia LeBouf says when he fires the cannon. I initially thought he said "and the way" but it turns out he says "on the way" and it's because historically the cannon moves the tank so much that it could injure the other soldiers. Fucking great movie. Turns out if you're a white dude in your 40s you get obsessed with WW2 movies.
IWW4@lemmy.zip · 4 pts · 39d
So when I was in the Army I was assigned to the First Armored Division in Germany.
So I spent a lot of time around tankers. “On the way” is a used all the time in tanks.
TC = Tank Commander (Brad Pitt) GNR = Gunner (John Bernthal) LDR = Loader (Shia Leboef)
Here is an example:
boaratio@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 39d
I've worked a lot with the army as a contractor, but never with an armored division. I mainly worked with airborne divisions. Thanks for adding clarity.

Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca · 6 pts · 39d
Here are some of my favorites. I'm an older guy so the films may be a bit dated.
The Longest Day - the quintessential D-Day movie starring everyone that was anyone.
The Devil's Brigade - a film that, in this era of tension between Canada and the USA, shows how we used to stand, fight, and die with each other.
Sink The Bismarck - thrilling sea story about the hunt for the famous Kriegsmarine battleship by the Royal Navy. Only issue is that it characterizes the German Admiral, Gunter Lutjens, as a fervent Nazi. He was actually one of the few officers that didn't give Hitler the Nazi salute.
Enemy at the Gates - about Vasili Zaitsev, one of the Soviet Union's top snipers who participated in the battle of Stalingrad. While the romance plot is one hundred percent tacked on unnecessarily, it truly captures the brutality and ruin of urban combat. Also has Ron Pearlman, so goddamn brilliance right there.

That one is a Must Watch! Saw it once, back when it came out and still think of it now and then.
In an even lighter vein, To Be Or Not To Be (1942) is a hilarious anti Nazi movie. I forget how many Nazis die in it, but at least 1. There is also a splendid Mel Brooks remake of it, though I prefer the original.

Do not read anything about the movie before watching it so that you won't get any clues about the twists and turns. Unless you know quite a bit of WWII history then you could kinda see where the twist would go. But the twists themselves have their own twist!
