Best movies about the Pacific War?

[bklooste]

Not sure the best western front movies are better

Bridge over the River Kwai , Tora! Tora! Tora!, and Letters from Iwo Jima stack up pretty well.

Western front you got Saving Private Ryan , Stalingrad ( German version) , Das boat, Battle of the Buldge ( mainly for the Panzer Lied) , Bridge too far ..

Though their are certainly more decent ones in the west there are a lot of real BAD pacic movies , Pearl Harbour , Final count down , most John Wayne movies etc etc .

Since Kaybayray was kind enouch to basically list all of them, I'll just bold in the ones I find extremely good. (Hopefully I don't end up doing a shame walk...)

Hmm...mostly John Wayne movies...
