these new ww2 movies that came out last year are kinda wack, defiance was ok, valkyrie was ok, miracle at st. anna was ehhh kinda boring. inglourious basterds wasnt as good as i expected it to be.
saving private ryan, the great raid, downfall (der untergang), the counterfeiters (die fälscher), black book (zwartboek) and max manus are my favorites. didnt like schindlers list. saints and soldiers is aight. enemy at the gates is good. U-571 is good. the boy in the striped pyjamas is shitty. the grey zone is boring. the thin red line is very boring. only the brave is also boring. harts war is aight. flags of our fathers is aight. letters from iwo jima is kinda boring. age of heroes is aight. captain corellis mandolin is boring. the round up (la rafle) is boring. flame & citron (flammen & citronen) is aight.
some of the movies that came out like in the 60's and 70's are cool, heres all of em that ive watched.
