WWII Movies

Some of you asked about WWII movies (or WWII era). I put a couple collages together of recommendations. Some are more SERIOUS and HISTORICALLY based than others. I actually have not watched all of these. So, I'm not an expert, nor do I take responsibility for anything depicted in these films.

First, I would personally recommend these two fantastic HBO series:


Band of Brothers follows an airborne unit throughout their experiences in WWII (this is the series you saw a clip from in which the American soldiers discovered/liberated a concentration camp).

It is AMAZING.

The Pacific is very well done too (also made by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, Band of Brothers and Saving Private Ryan; they are currently working on a third series http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/hbo-developing-third-wwii-miniseries-413632 ).

Below you will find a couple more collages of WWII era films. I personally love Saving Private Ryan and Schindler's List. Both are difficult to watch, especially Schindler's List. Both are graphic.

Disclaimer: Before watching any films, you should get your parents' permission. Many are rated R. I am not responsible for any of you choosing to watch films against your parents' wishes.
