Saving Private Ryan. A masterpiece in directing, cinematography, screenplay and acting. I've watched it more than twenty times.

Лучший не советский фильм о 2 Мировой войне, по моему мнению. После этого фильма я много прочитала о дне Д и войне на западном фронте, про восточный знала с детства.

It's just a Hollywood film, with the exception of the first 20 minutes.

"Braveheart isn't the most historically accurate film of all time" is the understatement of the year!

The Thin Red Line is amazing.

I would add Memphis Bell from 1990 i like that movie ,in my mind Stalingrad is one of best ww2 movie of all time (not the new Russian version)

Despite throwing in every conceivable mishap a B-17 crew was err to in the entire war--"Memphis Belle" is a really good film. Definitely worth an honorable mention.

I cannot believe saving private Ryan is over 20 years old

I appreciate that this channel is not anglocentric and acknowledges so many excellent movies from all over the world that might otherwise be overlooked.

The Thin Red Line, Schindler's List, Dances With Wolves, Gettysburg and Saving Private Ryan are amazing war movies that live up to this day.

you have to be an American

I lived on Guadalcanal for 6 months back in 2003/04 when deployed with the "Regional Assistance Mission Solomon Islands". We lived on "Henderson Field" a short distance from the main battle fields made famous In "The Pacific" mini series. One day I happened to be watching "The thin Red Line" in our tent lines which had an unobstructed view of Bloody Ridge and the heavily bombed and shelled airstrip, now the "Honiara International Airport". I mentioned this to a mate sitting beside me who answered, "be thankful we only have to put up with the rain and rats, and not the Japanese as well"!

Havent seen all the films you've listed and when thinking on it I feel like there are some amazing films I am forgetting. But that might be the 90s restriction. 1. Beau Travail 9/10 2. The Act of Killing 9/10 3. Schindlers List 9/10 4. Three Kings 8/10 5. The Thin Red Line 8/10 6. Saving Private Ryan 8/10 7. La Vita e Bella 7/10 8. Dances With Wolves 7/10 9. Last of the Mohicans 7/10 10. Seven Years in Tibet 7/10

Man I hope Talvisota is on your next list. That movie is so good depicting the struggles of the Winter War.

My top 3 in this case are: 1. Saving Private Ryan (1998) 2. Schindler's List (1993) 3. Stalingrad (1993)

Great list, I have to go see Underground now!~

I think Schoendoerffer's Dien Bien Phu (1992) and Bertrand Tavernier's Capitaine Conan (1996) deserve your attention. I sincerely think one of them, if not both, deserve a spot on your list.

Man dien bien phu is surely a beautiful war movie the movie is crafted very nicely sad this movie is very underrated

I'm really surprised you didn't include PRETTY VILLAGE PRETTY FLAME. It's an amazing film set in the Yugoslavian war.

I always liked Gettysburg a lot.

Last of the Mohicans stands out more in my mind as a love story and adventure movie. The war was more of a backdrop.

Putting Bravehearth in any list is beyond stupid

Aw man, I kinda hoped to see Purgatory on this list! But then again, it's in Russian and I can't find it anywhere with English subs apart from one scene. But it's still a great (but really gruesome/disturbing) movie!

I studied in Italy when Saving Private Ryan came out. I will never forget sitting on that theater and hearing people SOBBING.

Saving private Ryan was the first war movie to really make me cry and I was speechless for a week in January 2024. The movie comes everywhere with me and I get good looks from people when they see me walking with the movie in my hand and I appreciated that everyone was telling me they loved it too

I think you forgot "The Fall of Otrar". Maybe one of the historically precise description movie about how the Genghis Khan war machine works.

Watch Gettysburg, Life Is Beautiful and Straight Story. Anything else can be skipped.

Braveheart was filmed in Ireland

You forgot the "Dien Bien Phu" (1992)

pretty village pretty flame is a very powerful war movie made in Yugoslavia during the bosnian war, and it was such a tough movie to watch, that only 20 years after it was made, it began to be shown outside of Serbia as it was called "propaganda" but in reality, it was an anti-war film, and could only begin playing under the description and classification of a "comedy" movie, but it was anything but a comedy movie. This movie was made during the war itself, so filming it was very dangerous. This movie is on the level, even possibly higher then Saving private Ryan. It had some of the most famous actors from Yugoslavia. Here is the description of the film. " Milan (Dragan Bjelogric), a Serb, and Halil (Nikola Pejakovic), a Muslim, grew up as best friends in an idyllic rural village, where they often passed an unused tunnel that they thought contained a monster. But when, years later, war comes, they find themselves on opposing sides of a horrific, inhumane conflict. Milan's troop ends up trapped in a newly built tunnel, surrounded by enemy soldiers. One by one they recount their experiences, and one by one they're wounded or killed. "

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll be sure to check it out.

Saving Private Ryan was brilliant for the battle scenes. The Omaha Beach landing was worth price of admission on its own. The middle of the film was somewhat standard even cliched however. Script could have been from a war era propaganda film.

I find saving private Ryan more intense after my nightmares and my united 93 nightmares decide to combine with the movie. I can tell United 93 loves me so much to do that but wow, they were so intense, thank god Normandy was saved by the passengers of United 93 since they were the first to know that me and Ryan were together so they revolted in time after knowing it. They wanted us to be safe from Normandy’s devastating destruction and we could have been part of the destruction if it wasn’t for United 93. It breaks me that the passengers could have survived

While quite entertaining in contemporary presentation, Schindler's List is quite likely the most INACCURATE WWII movie on this list, in terms of historical fidelity. In appreciable contrast, Saving Private Ryan was the educational polar opposite in these terms. It also focuses a bit on US military doctrine, reflecting the dynamics of the AUS, Army of the United States (enlistees, conscripts and reservists) and the ever-standing USA, United States Army (Noncoms, officers, general officers and the Joints Chief). This structure is rarely captured in a meaningful way. This movie is where it actually was visible. There were some VERY BIG differences in the elements of our military in those days. They were likely glossed over for the sake of simplicity, but the GIs who were present and those who were there, lived their lives within this framework, and the lived-out their service lives with these ever-present boundaries in mind. That's what makes them so historically important.

Schindlers List and Before The Rain are not winners!? There is no Pretty Village, Pretty Flame!?

1990: Dances With Wolves 1991: Terminator 2: Judgment Day 1992: The Last Of The Mohicans 1993: Schindler's List 1994: Forrest Gump 1995: Braveheart 1996: Independence Day 1997: Air Force One 1998: Saving Private Ryan 1999: Three Kings

I hate the thin red line... the battle scenes are ass, the deep philosophical thought bubbles put me to sleep, and it's WAY longer than it has any right to be... the only thing i like about the film is the cinematography, it is a visually BEAUTIFUL film.

Yes and no. The first half of the film is magnificent. The second half falls into the category of a common Hollywood troupe--i.e. it's special mission time fellas. A captain (who normally commands a company) is given a squad and told to go out into the vastness of Normandy, and find a private in the 101st Airborne. They don't even take a radio! And then there is the 'Tank Buster P-51', a line which always makes my blood boil. The whole 'saving private Ryan' scenario is way too contrived and forced.
