Least favorite fictional WW2 movie

[Statalyzer]

Pearl Harbor
South Pacific
Catch-22 (I know it's "supposed" to be a great movie, but I didn't get it. Maybe I needed some LSD).

1941

Pearl Harbor sucked and I miss you...

That movie totally sucked, but @ least it inspired one of the greatest songs in movie history.

Windtalkers is firmly based on true events, but it's by far my biggest disappointment as a WWII movie, and may be my biggest disappointment as a movie of any genre.

Worse than Pearl Harbor by far, and that's saying something.

Thin Red Line

 

[jmatt]

Pearl Harbor. I went in expecting it to be decent, and historically accurate. What I got was a chick flick and stupidity like a fighter pilot suddenly flying a B-25 as part of an elite volunteer unit, among other things..

Force 10 from Navarone. I did like the end of it though (where they blow up the dam) that part was pretty good.

 

[jmatt]

Thanks DCA, I couldn't remember the name of "The Thin Red Line". It sucked also.

 

[SuperG24]

I remember going to see "Thin Red Line". I think I made it halfway through it. Very bad.

 

[TXHorn]

Pearl Harbor hands down. Ben needs to stay behind the camera where his talent lies.

I think the Thin Red Line suffered from the fact that it came out shortly after Saving Private Ryan and was very slow paced. It's quite a contrast in styles.

Kelly's Heros incorporated a bunch of whacked '60s mentality characters into a WW II background. Totally stupid

Thin Red Line

 

[Suvarov]

I am not a big fan of most Jerry Bruckheimer produced movies and Pearl Harbor is just one reason why.

I never really like Battle of the Bulge

 

[Eating Club]

Forget the title but the one with the POWs playing soccer against the Germans sucked ***.

We've Never Been Licked

 

[crayon1973]

Look.... unless the Thin Red Line had a subplot where some random chick had been dating both Cusak and Clooney you are all smoking crack.

I gotta agree with Crayon, that although the title of the thread is fictional WW2 movies, Pearl Harbor, by virtue of making sh*t up as they went along, easily now qualifies as the worst fictional WW2 movie ever.

Although I would submit several others for your review:

U-571, although the idea of capturing a Uboat enigma machine is based on real events, that movie, even starring the Bongoe'd one, sucked royal behind. Freaking AMERICAN submariners running a German Ubat well enough to sink another Uboat with less than 24 hours familiarization and only 1 freaking guy who can read/speak german ....

Hart's War: how to turn Bruce Willis into a royal @$$hole.....

Any of the three or four Dirty Dozen sequals that came out- pure blasphemy to the original.

Enough with the negative vibes, man, Kelly's Heroes is a great movie.

 

[CottonEyedHorn]

A Man Called Sarge. Seriously, look it up.

 

[buffsoldier]

Bedknobs and Broomsticks. God I hate live action Disney movies

 

[RabidLonghorn]

Srgt York- God what a cheesy peice of fluff. Just looking for a good peice of bottom land.
Thin Red Line
Force 10 from Navarone
Victory
U571
The movie with Robert Mitchum hunting a German sub with Theodore Bikle as the U boat captain.

For the Boys

 

[KC-97HORN]

Rabid, please tell me you didnt just list Sergent York as a fictional WW2 movie???

see, this is where my history degree makes me want to stand up and stap a *****.

Sergent York was a WW ONE movie based on the Medal of Honor Winner's life- he became a national ******* hero for his attack on a German outpost that resulted in over 130 Germans surrendering to him personally. It aint fiction people.

As for the others you listed, I agree they all suck...

 

[Statalyzer]

I can't believe two people just listed The Enemy Below as a bad movie. Wow.
