Guns of Navaronne

this

the film goes so quickly from, i wonder what will happen to, why is this film so depressing

and uniquely shows the german perspective.

typically films about the "great patriotic war" made by russians are total drivel that over hype the actions of the russian side and make them seem like perfect human beings who did nothing wrong.

Tobruk (aka desert war) is also pretty kino, at least the 2 first acts in the desert.

Even Plebs know about Dont Look Now

The Greatest Story Never Told

>>Northern African Theatre
>???
some of Valkyrie

It was still apologist rubbish. "Durr hurr I'm not a Nazi Otto I was just following orders"

>Balkan Theatre

The Yugos have you covered there. Battle of Neretva and Battle of Sutjeska are kino.

not really, it shows good and bad german and russians.

disregarding a film because it shows some germans not being abhorrent monsters as "apologist rubbish" is trash.

But it wasn't apologist, it still showed the bad side of nazis.

Sounds great, I'm going to give it a watch.

The biggest tragedy in history was probably when Sergio Leone died before he could make his Leningrad movie. That would have been so fucking awesome.

hate to break it to you but in germany, and especially the german army
not all germans were nazis, it was a political preference and not every german actually followed it
hitler never visited bremen and other cities because they had very little national socialist support.
germans actually saw some fellow germans and then the others as hardcore nazis, most of them typically went into the SS.

only issue is he made great shlock, and he would have inserted robert de niro because they need an american character or else it wouldnt sell.

The script would've been written by a Russian, though, and half of the budget would have been paid by a Russian production company.

i wasnt aware of that, well thats not too bad, if they made it hopefully rhey would have made robert de niros character fit well as a journalist. just hopefully it wouldnt be filled with shlock, just lots of kino battle scenes and issues the siege caused

Also, have you read his description of how he imagined the opening scene? The description alone is better cinema than anything that came out in the last few decades. I'm 100% certain that if he made it, it would be considered the greatest movie of all time by pretty much everyone.

Generation War

Neretva is great


Also, add The Keep for fantasy theater. It's so bad but I love it

>"During the siege, the U.S. cameraman has a love affair with a young resident of Leningrad. At the time, Stalin punished with ten years in prison every Soviet citizen convicted of having an affair with a westerner. But the girl does not care because she has no hope of surviving the siege. In the end, the cameraman dies on the day of the liberation of the city, when he is filming the surrender of the Germans. And the girl is aware of his death by chance seeing a movie newsreel: the camera sees it explode under a shell … "
