This had all the elements & could have been great but for the fact it was shot like a TV movie. I'd have been pissed if I was an investor. But yeah, deserves a mention here.
although not films, more mini series, Band of Brothers, Pacific and Generation Kill are well worth the investment in time.
Above Us the Waves 1955 British war film directed by Ralph Thomas, about human torpedo and midget submarine attacks on the German battleship Tirpitz
Lots of great films mentioned! For me tho Das Boot takes some beating...... Also worth a watch is "They Were Expendible" starring Robert Montgomery and John Wayne, good film about the American PT boats in the Pacific.
Liking pretty much everything that has been listed but couldn't see that We Were Soldiers was mentioned. A very gripping and tense film, plus I watched a documentary about it recently.
