Obviously, Schindler's list, Saving Private Ryan, Tora Tora Tora and other popular ones everyone knows about, but I've always found it good stories, fictional or based on something. My two suggestions: Boy in the striped pajamas In Darkness Any others any of us should see?
HATED that movie. I love Tarantino, but that was so factually inaccurate. There will be idiots that see this movie and think this is what actually happened. HATED HATED HATED it.
When I was but a wee little child I was raised by "The Big Red One" and "Force 10 From Navarone" (which objectively was pretty terrible but I love it). "A Bridge Too Far" is pretty freaking awesome: I love "Where Eagles Dare" And "Midway" from 1976: And I'm always drawn to the weirdness and anachronisms of Kelly's Heroes whenever its on:
I wholeheartedly disagree, I love this movie, and you did say fictional in your op. I don’t give much credence to what idiots think is faculty accurate or not so it doesn’t bother me if they believe the story.
There is a HUGE difference between a fictional movie based upon factual events, and the Traveshamockery that Quentin did. Again, idiots will watch this movie and think Hitler was killed in a movie theater...
But why should that bother you? If someone is dumb enough to believe that hitler was killed in a movie theater then I’m not wasting my time trying to persuade them differently. It’s like arguing with some one that still supports trump. People are going to believe what they believe. You can’t argue with stupid.
Obviously Inglorious Basterds is a horribly counterfactual movie. I mean, if Hitler had his head shot off in a movie theater, how in the world could this documentary be true?
Next you're going to tell me that Brad Pitt *didn't* kill the Manson Family members in the house next door to Roman Polansky's.
There's a pretty silly Russian movie called T-34 that came out recently with people drifting their T-34's around corners and jumping over broken bridges like the Dukes of Hazzard and what not. Still pretty exciting and good special effects. Good fun: Contrast that with a very disturbing and dark Soviet film from 1985 called "Come and See" that is pretty widely viewed as a masterpiece:
That was a fun movie, not sure if factual though. @Ottomaton, Come and See is a great and very ****ed up movie.
Not a movie, but the British documentary WW2 in HD/color has some really rare footage and excellent commentary -- it's on Netflix.
