Not a movie but just bad

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Encounter

Theme of guilt--silly and redicilious -the NeSI were not Spys at Pearl Harbor

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Quality_of_Mercy
The Japanese military In World War II-The Rape of nanking; The Bataan Death march; the Hell ships, the Palawan Massacres, the Burma railway...you did not surrender to THEM!

Just maronically dopey
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalag_17

Hiding in Water in the middle of winter...how about hypothermia? and frozen body tissue? and the fact that you have someone in paranoid World War II Germany who has no German ID Papers; fit and not in uniform.LAStly in real life the Commandnat or the Gestapo would give the POWS A choice tell where the Escaped POW went or be shot...or even worse to a slave camp! At the least ten POWS Would be killed in retalation for killing the German spy. Under no circumstances would the POWS Have just be allowed to sleep like they do at the end! It has all the marks of a WORLD WAR II Propaganda HOME FRONT Movie that was would have fitten in quite well in 1942-1945.... :roll:

It was a Comedy written by 2 Ex POW's not a documentary, :roll:

And Sorry to burst your bubble but men did escape in real life and the POW camp commandants didnt shoot others to find out where they went.

The Thin Red line

unrealistic begining of how the Bid red One got its insignia--from a dead german--but never happened this waY!
also Sherman tanks disguised as German tanks.....

Big Red One, not thin red line, Actually If one actually watches the movie Marvins character mentions taking the red cloth so as to make the Insignia not that he designed it, As to the tanks kind of hard to find running Panzers in the 1970's (and they were Israeli SHermans (Ishermans) M51).

The Longest Day
Spoiled...wife of French resisitance leader didnt blow up bridge....a german did put his boots on backwards BUT WAS NOT SHOT by a wounded RAF Pilot....RAF Pilot Campbell did not exist..at least not in book...Col. Priller flew FW-190 not Me 109 and flew east to west not west to east.....The Rangers did destoyed Germant Artillery guns...about a mile from Point do hoc....

Priller in the movie flew a ME-108 Taifun

"THe House on 95th Street"..

The House on 92nd Street

Prewar movie Enemy Agent 1940
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0032443/

Plot Seems familiar to two certain Hitchcock movies?

[PF]

1942 "A Yank on the Burma Road"...ghastly...the Japanese have World War I German and English machine Guns!
1965 "36 Hours" preposterous theme -even for a movie! Should belong to 1945 Homefront movies! :roll:

[JustinYT]

Jar Head 2 couldnt stand that movie

[LineDoggie]

1942 "A Yank on the Burma Road"...ghastly...the Japanese have World War I German and English machine Guns!
1965 "36 Hours" preposterous theme -even for a movie! Should belong to 1945 Homefront movies! :roll:

The Japanese did use the Vickers , Lewis, & Brenguns captured in Burma, Malaya, Hong Kong, Singapore and their Imperial Navy type 92 Machinegun was the .303 Lewis gun built on Surplus BSA tooling sold to Japan.

the standard 7.7 machinegun of the japanese fighter plane was a Aircraft Vickers

Although I'm really a big Eastwood fan "Where Eagles dare" is surely among the worst war movies ever. It has all the ingredients of a WWII action movie filmed in the sixties: Numerous anachronisms, bulletproof and trigger-happy allied super heroes with inappropriate haircuts, wooden nazis as eager cannon fodder and a rather stupid story. And then there was this Bell 47 helicopter landing at castle Wolfenstein... :roll:

Every single James Bond movie has more realism.

War movies where Germans speak in English. Its not realistic and it kills the film.

[Stabsfeldwebel]

2006, The Last Drop.

Quite simply what the English would call balderdash and piffle. It could have been a bit of a ripping yarn but sadly it is not. A great combination of Germanic stereotypes and inaccuracies.

1980, The Big Red One

I just don't care for the film. If I was being truthful I just don't get it.

1965, The Battle of The Bulge

I am pretty sure this has been covered somewhere else. No need for me to add to the criticism.

2009, Army of Crime

The poster for this film was pretty cool. That is what first attracted me to it, alas I find it long, melodramatic and somewhat boring.

Just a little sample.

[B Hellqvist]

Stalingrad (2013). The third best Stalingrad movie since 1993! OK, there's only been three...

Absolutely dreadful. Poor script, unengaging characters, slow motion in every effing battle scene (Peckinpah, come back!), forgettable score... Considering the budget and effort, very poor bang for the buck (or ruble). The few bright points were the sets and uniforms. 3/10.

[Acts 2/38]

None of the above listed movies holds a patch to "White Ghost", staring William Katt.
