good german/soviet war movies

[Koehler]

i was wondering what good war movies are out there that mainly focus on the germans or the soviets. im tired of the american forces ww2 movies

[Smitty025]

Das Boot and Downfall. Two of the best movies I have ever seen.

[Koehler]

yea downfall was an excellent movie

[DerMann]

All Quiet on the Western Front and definately Das Boot.

[Fuzzy Bunny]

Stalingrad. Dunno about rooskie ones.

Of course we're completely discounting all the great WWII German propaganda crap, like Bomber Squadron Lutzow, Kolberg and other classics. Again, dunno about rooskie ones (if you're not too fixated on WWII, Aleksandr Nevski always brings down the house.)

[Green_Vietnam]

enemy at the gates

about a rooskie sniper

[Gauntlet]

Enemy at the Gates is not a good movie! :lol:

[Bourkey]

Its a good book though. Although the movie was based off it, it had nothing to do with the movie

You'd have to read it to understand

[Admiral Donutz]

Das Boot and Der Untegang ftw. Though there are more but I generally suck at remembering titles and name.

Sorry for digging up this old thread, but the best soviet war movie hasn´t been mentioned yet:

Come and See - Idi i smotri (1985)

It´s about a boy joining the resistance in white russia in 1943.
Believe me, you won´t be able to get this movie out of your mind for a very long time !

User comment from IMDB:

Death, destruction and despair
"Come And See" is a difficult, violent and surprisingly poetic movie, compared to which even classics like "Saving Private Ryan" (Spielberg payed a homage to this movie on SPR's beginning) or "The Thin Red Line" seems just artificial. This is the real thing!

Trivia:

• Many of the uniforms seen throughout the film are originals.
• Live ammunition was used in the film - in interviews, actor Aleksei Kravchenko has described actual bullets passing some 10 centimeters above his head.
