Great quote. Thank you

"Boot" is pronounced "Boat"

Left out: 1) Kelly's Heroes-a lot of American war equipment was abandoned in Europe after WW2. The Czechoslovakian Army still had American tanks, trucks and carts in service in the late 1960's (loaned to the film production company), when the movie was shot. 2) Tora Tora Tora-A number of collectors had American fighters, bombers and other planes that were loaned to the film production company for the movie. As for Japanese planes, American T-6 trainers were modified to Japanese dive bombers and torpedo bombers. Replica Zero fighters were built for the movie. These "Japanese" planes make the airshow circuit every year.

"...knocked it out of the park... or sea... or something." I believe the expression he was looking for was, "...blew it out of the water."

If looking to do a similar one down the road, a young looking Audie Murphy played himself in the movie To Hell and Back based on Audie Murphy’s book of the same title based on his experiences in WW2. Almost hard to believe he was even younger than he currently was when the actual events happened.

Another great movie detail is in the 1930’s “All Quiet on the Western Front”, as nearly all the extras in the battlescenes and trenches were actually WW1 veterans.

holy cow! I knew about killroy but I did miss the detail on Greyhound! kudos !

Love your content 😊😊😊

Fave scene is the broken arrow in we were soldiers. The napalm billowing up in the theater screen was pure shock and awe

Favourite battle scene has to be Waterloo from 1970. I'm not even a history buff for Napoleon but the scale the details they had to perform for the final scene is mindblowing.

It’s pronounced “more-ANN”. Believe me, I know.

I know it's cliche, but how can you not choose Spielberg's depiction of the D-Day invasion in "Saving Private Ryan" as the best battle scene on film of all time. Considering that the movie was made in the 90's, and the amount of detail the production crew used to depict said invasion, it is nothing short of an astounding feat that is going to be quite hard to outdo (without CGI). Thankfully it was made before CGI became commonplace and it was made by a director and production team with cash to spend.

I always liked & respected the Trench Battle scene in the original All’s Quiet on the Western Front. It was released in 1930. They knew so many had fought in the Great War so they had to be accurate. I taught High School History for decades. When I taught WWI I always used that battle scene when I taught about trench warfare

7:49 that’s Richard Tyson not the guy you’re talking about.

in Grayhound the cartoon is Chad ( A British meme) and the Wording is American meme. Chad first appered with the phrase Wot No....

The Australians were the first to use it during the First World War, it was Foo was here.

In The King's Man, during the night knife fight in no man's land, one German soldier has a 3 sided blade. Which after WWI were banned by the Geneva Convention because it's difficult to treat wounds from them.

I loved the Tiger scene in Fury.

The battle scenes in Danger Close: The Battle of Long Tan.

I saw 5 of 10 movies. I actually watched mostly the WWII movies and the WWI movies on this list.

Opening D-day scene of Saving Private Ryan.

Master and Commander

3:15 Fun (well not exactly fun) Fact. The inventor of the machine gun created his device thinking it would make war impossible. He sold this weapon to both sides thinking he would end war as taking ground protected by machine guns would not be possible without producing horrific casualties. Sadly our hero underestimated world leaders willingness to produce horrific casualties., and so we got WWI. World leaders have little concern for war casualties because they so rarely become casualties of war. But it does happen from time to time. A certain Russian leader learned this in 1917, and another Russian leader will be learning this again soon.

fury did not get a lot of its tank warfare completely right.

"They got the Rose and Crown"

In Full Metal Jacket, the scene with Joker, Rafterman and the marine indiscriminately gunning down villagers from a helicopter was based on a real experience co-writer Michael Herr went through while he was in Vietnam. The dialogue is nearly verbatim of what was actually said during the exchange and was originally from Herr's book Dispatches.

The Kilroy drawings were a ripoff of the Australian Foo was here that the Australians used during the First World War.

the tiger scene is thrash

I've been meaning for quite a while to drop a line about "All Quiet". It's horrible for a number of reasons historical accuracy among them. I mean think about what ur saying for a moment In what way is a hammer going to remove mud? I don't wanna be a deuch but does this make sense to you? After this the German army did not re use dead men's uniforms and my personnel favorite coffins sprinkled with quick lime. U put the stuff on a corpse to speed decomposition and keep vermon away how does it do this when it's not touching flesh? And if ur gunna make Paul a machine gunner he has todo it throughout the film, it was a specialty. The replacements all dead of gas is b.s All of the combatants replaced units not individuals. It is just such a horrible film u could do a vid on how bad it is

With a swift history book search, you'll be proven wrong so fast. Also, the point of the film is to be harrowing, even if that means specific historical accuracies need to be dismissed. Not to mention, the film primarily takes place in the war's final days. In other words, the German military was at its lowest and most desperate. It's an anti-war film, sweetheart. The point is to evoke emotion and thought, not to test the viewers.

Read the book, more realistic and not gay

Das Boot is actually pronounced ... dahs boat.

10:00 the tiger tank did not act like it might would have in real live. It would have destroyed the leading tank first. It got the biggest canon and was the biggest danger. Also, it would have blocked the others from going in the direction they were heading at. Also, it would not have left it's position to charge at the shermans. Why should a commander do that? It means making you a better target and makes aming for your crew more difficult. The other Shermans would not been able to punch through the front armour of the tiger and if they got to close, all the tiger had to do was reverse out of there to keep them on distance. Fury is one of the most overrated war movies I have ever seen and it's embrace of war crimes as acts of valor is just disgusting.

The scene from fury is shit....why would the tiger try to charge when he is in a better hidden position?

Nothing about American sniper is accurate what so ever 😅

Sorry but your stress on the last letter of every sentence is really annoying.

the SMLE- short magazine lee enfield in WW1 was NOT a '10 round gun' it was a rifle that could carry 10 rounds. a 'gun' is a piece of artillery. the film makers may have been accurate but you sure are not.

Gun. noun 1. a weapon incorporating a metal tube from which bullets, shells, or other missiles are propelled by explosive force, typically making a characteristic loud, sharp noise. no need to be so rude.

This is one of the worst line reads I’ve ever head. Jesus.
