World War 2 in movie form chronologically

[dinnerblaster]

I never described my list as insightful or realistic.

Please tell me what you think and if there are any suggestions, questions or thoughts concerning the list or war movies in general be free to post

You openly invited comments, suggestions, questions and thoughts. So I did.

Subjective preferences are beyond me to judge but your use of language wasn't necessary.

Jhessail was just being rude and condescending, it's normal!

The Winter War is the only (mostly) non-cringeworthy Finnish war movie ever made. Or better yet, watch the TV series version.  But unless you especially enjoy bad acting, mediocre special effects and thinly veiled patriotic pathos, the other movies on the list are absolute waste of time. Both Here, Beneath the North Star and the sequel Akseli and Elina are good movies, and again, even better TV series, but neither have that much to do with the world wars, and without some basic knowledge of the Finnish early 20th century social history, I think one would find them to be rather tedious experiences.

"Ilsa: She Wolf of the SS" what the **** man? And "The Night Porter" too? Just watch some actual porn instead.

Ilsa takes place during the last days of the nazi Reich and that's good enough with me. Besides, I kinda like the idea that the collapse of Germany is partly presented through crazy **** like "Saló" and "Ilsa".

Although it's still more historically accurate than Enemy at the Gates, the Ilsa movie isn't worth watching.

Since you have Band of Brothers in there, you should probably have The Pacific. ****s good.

To be fair, when asking for feedback regarding a second world war themed list, having someone comment who happens to know an awful lot about it is probably just what was needed?

I know an awful lot about the Second World War and I say no!

Personal insults, swearing and historical nitpicking were indeed needed if the intention was to make me feel awful for the rest of the day. The only thing she achieved was to make sure I never bring any silly personal projects to the public again.

Don't take it personally

Her disregard for the great non-racist Hergé and good films like The Dirty Dozen and Kelly's Heroes was disgusting.

He's a fellow Finn - proof can be found in the victim complex he just developed and, more to the point, his IMDB username.

You have the word filter on. The personal insult was in the other thread and you certainly deserved for writing such ridiculous hyperbole. I did no nitpicking whatsoever - if I had, I could have dismissed more than three quarters of your list. You posted in public a list of entertainment products vis-a-vis WW2 and asked for comments. I'm sorry if you thought that everyone would be amazed by your ability to click the suitable tag in IMDB and then copy paste the titles into a list and just fellate you endlessly. I thought you would appreciate a criticism of some of the things you had chosen, so you would not waste your time with them but I guess you took them personally because of what I said about you in the Star Wars thread. That was not my intention. Don't take everything personally, even if it is the usual modus operandi for us Finns.

Finnish people are like marmite.

The list's content is solely based on my personal collection for which I've never actually used imdb, but whatever you want to believe. The only merit, or "reason", for the list to exist is chronology, not factual accuracy, ideological objectivity or even dramatic quality. If some credit should be given, then its that it was a very difficult process to set them in the order in which they currently are. It has taken months as a side project to check each film for details and do additional research to get each of them placed as right as possible.

I took most of your criticism as justified, even if I didn't agree with all of it, but don't act like you didn't cross the line of unneeded hostility near the end of your post. I'm also sorry that you didn't get the intentional exaggeration meant to highlight my distaste for the character. However, I do hope that you have enjoyed using the most bitter and despiteful words on these two threads that anybody has probably ever said to me for such utterly insignificant reasons. It may seem like nothing to you and I guess that's another matter of opinion but you don't see me personally bashing you for having one.

It would be quicker and less misleading to watch "The World at War" from 1973-4.

Random fact: I have seen thath seven times without even trying.

 

[Beny]

So you accidentally watched it 7 times?

 

[Seff]

That's like a week of your life gone, accidentally.

Rukajärven tie and Raja 1918 are breddy gud too.

If you want more movies leading up to WW2, there's this Russian movie called "Admiral", which I enjoyed greatly.

EDIT. The one scene from the movie I still remember.

I think I've looked it up but clearly I haven't because I don't remember the synopsis now when I'm read it. It would indeed fit in nicely, I think I'll add it in.
