Inglorious Basterds for me.

Love Christopher Waltz in it, some incredibly tense scenes, class dialogue and it was one of my picks

banie01 · 20-09-2019 1:17pm

I'm going to have to vote for Inglorious Bastards!

The humour, the viciousness and the story all tie together so well.

Tora, Tora, Tora could have been great!
Should have been the US Battle of Britain but so much of it particularly flight sequences were let down by lack of ambition IMO.

Inglorious

Inglorious Basterds, One ive my suggestions so I'm going for that.

scotchy · 20-09-2019 1:18pm

Tora Tora Tora.

Liked Basterds, but some of the made up "facts" made for a strange film if you're into your WW2 stuff.

Necro · 20-09-2019 1:19pm

4-1 to the Basterds so far.

Hoboo I need a reason for your vote to stick

Remouad · 20-09-2019 1:20pm

Tora! Tora! Tora!
Japanese perspective was filmed by a Japanese crew
American perspective was filmed by an American one

Very historically accurate.

Mehaffey1 · 20-09-2019 1:21pm

Inglorious Bastards here.
Funny, gruesome and nicely fictional.

Cienciano · 20-09-2019 1:21pm

Christopher Waltz's performance gives it Inglorious for me.

Zaph · 20-09-2019 1:22pm

Tora! Tora! Tora! The best movie about Pearl Harbor, epic stuff.

Necro · 20-09-2019 1:22pm

Inglorious Basterds take it 5-2

Necro · 20-09-2019 1:24pm

Seen neither so out of this one.

banie01 · 20-09-2019 1:27pm

Das Boot!

Incredible film, Prochnow gave a tour de force performance and its one of the 1st films that humanised the Germans IMO.
The fear and claustrophobia of the depth charge scenes were incredible

Electric Nitwit · 20-09-2019 1:28pm

Has to be das Boot

Dr Strangelove really isn't that good, at the very least it's dated badly for me

Hoboo · 20-09-2019 1:28pm

Haven't seen them so no vote here.

Remouad · 20-09-2019 1:29pm

Das boot
Claustrophobic thriller.
Makes you see the crew as people instead of Nazis.

Best watched in the original german.

20-09-2019 1:29pm

Dr Strangelove is a classic. Gets my vote

scotchy · 20-09-2019 1:29pm

Another tough call, but its Das Boot for me.

Always enjoy WW2 films from a German perspective. but this was a Class Film, And the TV series even better. tried watching the recent remake but it didn't compare to the original.
