Private Ryan was sublime. The most graphic portrayal of the D Day landings I've ever seen on film (outside of actual documentaries of course).
Albert what you make of Band of Brothers and Pacific? I thoughtvthey where some of the best television series I've ever seen.
Schindler's List, The Boy in Striped Pyjamas, Das Boot, The cruel sea, Gallipoli, All Quiet on the Western Front, Escape from Sobibor, The Pianist Just a few that I will never tire of watching.
I love War films and they were great series. The best thing about those two was the realism of the cinematography. At times it was gruesome.
