I didn't really think you would be inconsiderate (I rather like your posts) but the thing is people from that country might misunderstand it and get upset, even if its correct.. that's actually the only thing I wanted to point out with all of this.
Yeah, I have seen it. Do not be fooled by trailer. It is Korean, so it is movie about martial arts. Beginning is interesting, but later it all degrades into your-typical-karate, although most scenes begin with bayonet charge (not that there is reason for that, they are NOT short on ammo, or anything. They are just THAT BADASS). It is mainly about Korean War.ORIGINAL: Chickenboy
Anyone see Front Line (a Korean made movie that debuted in 2010)?

And... speaking of WWII, does anyone seen this latest movie, about NAZI INVASION FROM DARK SIDE OF THE MOON, yet? I think it is some scandinavian production.

How about 'Hell in the Pacific'?.
Not really anything to do with the Naval side, but Lee Marvin & Toshirô Mifune's performances are absolutely brilliant, the ideas, the fears, the hatreds, the conflict, & comradeship 'in extremis', are captured brilliantly in microcosm in this film.
i will miss them.

You are of course referring to 1941, the classic documentary of early-war civil defense along the US West Coast [;)] (hard to believe it was a Steven Speilberg film- those were the early days!). Every time I shart shifting around elements of the 40th Div in-game near LA, i think of that movie!

I loved the parts with Slim Pickens.....and the Jap sailor "Horrryywoooood!"

I don't know how you could say that, Pirates of the Caribbean is clearly the best naval warfare movie and it's American made. [:D]

I just watched "Das Boot" again, which in my opinion is simply the best movie about naval warfare (nevermind it's only about subs). It's a shame that the english dubbing is in no way up to the german original though.
Are there any movies like it out there? (without the overdone heroism crap, action scenes that no one really needed except the box office, ... you get my point)
Btw when did the Americans forget how to make really A-class movies? I mean just look at it there is "the longest day", "Tora! Tora! Tora!" and the likes of the old days and then theres stuff like the movie which in this forum I'm not allowed to name (which is a good thing. It doesn't deserve a name)

Der Untergang and Stalingrad is as LoBaron says perhaps two of the best war movies ever made. Along with Das Boot that is.
If you move away from WW2 there are some very good war movies about the Vietnam war. I know little about this war besides reading "We were soldiers once" so that might be why I enjoy the movies. That movie sucked though. Come to think of it almost everything with Mel Gibson does... But Platoon, Full Metal Jacket, Hamburger Hill and Apocalypse now are excellent. Especially Apocalypse Now!
Btw, Anyone seen Galipoli? Been trying to get my hands on that but never found it. Ordered it from Amazon once but they cancelled it. Is it worth trying to find?

regarding your signature: Viribus Unitis - Croatian WW1 Battleship? The nationality you gave the ship seems... creative.
(The ship was handed over to the Yugoslavian State on the 31st October 1918, was renamed to Jugoslavija and one day later sunk by Italians [8|] ).

Not sure if it was mentioned already in this thread, but Sam Peckinpah's 'Cross of Iron' was another decent WWII movie. Not enough good movies about the eastern front unfortunately, other than Stalingrad.
