I was watching Lawrence of Arabia the other day, right at the part where they attack Aqaba. I remember my wife walking in the room and asking why do I watch these old war movies. I told her look at the screen, all the extras, the effects, the animals, all of it, you will never see a scene like that filmed without the aid of CGI....ever.....there is much more to appreciating old war movies than just the subject of the movie. And I agree 1917 was awesome, the running scene, I could watch over and over and over....
@@Chrisuperfly1 haha yeah sure. Theres like the smallest amount of cgi and green screen. Everything else is practical . If you new your films which you claim to then you would know how Denis makes films.
I’m 36 now but I really would like to watch some of these older movies, some of them really sound cool and there are hundreds if not 1000s out there. I agree 100% that these days movies suck with all that woke crap.
One of the best war films I've seen came out not too long ago, Finnish movie called Tuntematon sotilas (2017). It's based on their side of the war and it's phenomenal on every level. "June, 1941: Trapped between two repressive regimes, Finland has little choice but to ally itself with Nazi Germany against its traditional foe - although it manages to remain a democracy throughout. Virtually unknown in the WW ll arena, a brutal war against Soviet occupation takes place in the Far North. As the men of a Finnish infantry unit march through the forests of Karelia to regain territory lost to Russia in the Winter War of 1939, each of them soon realizes the horror and pointlessness of war. Except for their officers, more concerned about medals and personal glory than the lives of their men. A diverse group of men, all at odds with how they see themselves, each other, and the common cause - yet they are strengthened by a growing bond of camaraderie to each other and their loved ones. After huge personal sacrifice and a prolonged trench war, the outcome is inevitable, ending with a ceasefire in September 1944."
There’s an outstanding movie that was made actually while the war was still going on in 1943 called, “So proudly we hail” Claudette Colbert stars along with Veronica lake who gave a magnificent and dark performance. I’ve always felt this movie was ahead of its time and wish that it would be remade. It’s about the nurses in Corregidor in World War II who fought bravely against the Japanese. Some of the language in the movie would be considered racist today but it was an outstanding movie never the last that wasn’t a fluff piece but it was actually a dark picture and not a propaganda piece. I’m actually surprised they made a movie like this while the war was still going on. Paulette Goddard was nominated for an Academy award for best supporting actress in the movie featured George Reeves as Claudette Colbert‘s love interest who later played superman in the 1950s. Outstanding movie and I know Anthony likes really good underrated older movies. If they remade this movie today though they would make it into a woke piece of garbage. Best movie should have been made in the 1990s when they still made accurate war movies.

They Were Expendable, Back To Bataan, Halls Of Montezuma, To Hell And Back, Flying Tigers, Flying Leathernecks, In Harm's Way, The Frogmen. Was rewatching Guns Of Navarone for the first time since I was a kid, forgot how great it was. Everyone is so inexplicably badass and mysterious in it. Tremendous cast and production, good miniatures and models too. Probably my favorite men-on-a-mission film, with Dark Of The Sun, despite it's blatant inaccuracies at times it keeps you glued to the actual impossibility of the mission. Where Eagles Dare, Kelly's Heroes (negative waves, man), Cross of Iron. Battle of the Bulge, Longest Day, Battle of Britain (amazing aerial sequences), A Bridge Too Far, Bridge at Remagen, etc. Also, Pork Chop Hill (Korea) as noted here before. Can't beat the classics. Lately, Dunkirk was decent. 1917 was incredible, of the caliber of Lost Battalion, Paths of Glory, and All Quiet.
Ant have you seen The Outpost? With Scott Eastwood? Not the best film, acting and CGI are subpar, but the action is intensely satisfying. The relentless explosions give you actual stress. The use alot of long, unedited film cuts that kind of put you in the violence.
@@damazywlodarczyk some of the acting from some characters falls short for me, and the CGI at some parts is near cringe. I also had a hard time with Orlando blooms struggle with the American accent. All that aside, I love the movie. There are very memorable scenes that drew tears, and the action scenes are so intense they make you squirm in your seat, I love those aspects.
@@Agent_Sparkle Black Hawk Down is one of my favorites. With Act of Valor I have trouble getting through the poor acting. No disrespect to the real teams members in it. The action in it was great, some parts clearly embellished.
I really wish we could get something as quality as generation kill but during one of the battles for Faluja or Ramadi. It’s a shame Hollywood won’t make good modern war movies anymore.
There’s a great movie called “Die Brücker” told from the perspective of a group of 17 year old German soldiers left to defend the only entrance in to the town from the allies.
@INXS Music Me too. It wasn’t just the sympathy it was my suspension of disbelief. Would anyone in a war do that? It almost made me angry cos they’d got me so invested.
I’m still waiting for them to make a definitive Afghanistan, or Iraq movie but it might take another 5 years for things to settle down. I just hope it won’t be woke. Jar head wasn’t bad.
I've read a bunch of comments that bring up a lot of good movies but has anyone ever seen "the longest Day" it is a bit cheesy at times but a great flick one of my favorites. No need for it to be remade really but still a great movie starring a lot of famous people from the time. Without googling it I think it was from 61 or 62.
_Battleground_ (1949) is really amazing for the authenticity given the time it was made: US soldiers shown trying to trade sex for food, US soldiers being cowardly or being negative about the war cause.
What is a great war movie from the last few years is Greyhound with Tom Hanks. It's not for everybody, it really concentrates on naval action with some love side story shoehorned into it (but now much).
Best WWII movies: Stalingrad 1993, come and see, beach red, thin red line, downfall, men behind the sun, cross of iron, bridge at Remagen, a long days dying, attack force z, and attack 1954. Best Vietnam movie: platoon, 84 Charlie mopic, hamburger Hill, a rumour of war, casualties of war, odd angry shot, siege at firebase Gloria, iron triangle, boys in Company C, go tell the Spartans, rescue Dawn, Little dieter needs to fly.
What puts me off Stalingrad 1993 is how the characters are too conscious that they are "bad guys". There is one scene there where they are listening to Hitler's speech in the radio and some of them are reacting like they are disgusted by it. Really in 1941?! And how they poke fun that their belts have "Gott mit uns" (God With Us) inscribed on it because once again they are the "bad guys". Got mit uns predates Nazi Germany anyone in the military would have been familiar with this already but these are just some of the things that put me off that movie.
I like Cross of Iron, and these Russian WW2 movie Zvezda and The Brest Fortress. The supernatural WW2 Belyy Tigr about a German ghost tank was fascinating too.
@@jerry12314 I don’t think they mock the Nazi government when they’re talking about God is with us on the belt buckle they say it later on in the movie after Hermann Göring has written off the six army in Russia all for dead, when they were still thousands and thousands of them alive. And that was reality and the bitterness of the German wermacht soldiers there. But compared to the woke movies today that’s an amazing movie and captures infantry battles better than any I’ve ever seen. But definitely check out a long days dying, beach red, attack, and the others I listed for great reality infantry battles
I love the way older movies are shot. There arent jump cuts every 8 seconds, they dont pound you over the head with exposition, and yes...they arent "woke"
I disagree, they had childish video game like battle scenes, and the first half was a soppy soap opera, the Boot Camp was a rip off of full metal jacket. Mel Gibson‘s lost it
Cmon Ant a lil spoiler alert would've been nice I haven't got around to seeing "When Worlds Collide" yet dammitt now I'm not going in with a clean slate
A Bridge Too Far I think is my favorite WW2 movie based in W.European Front. The new Midway was not bad at all and the cgi did not bother me because the story was well put together. Greyhound was terrible.
Definitive work on the Indianapolis for anyone interested: Abandon Ship!: The Saga of the U.S.S. Indianapolis, the Navy's Greatest Sea Disaster --yeah, can't believe they let Nick fuck that one up!
Not at all, you’re forgetting cross of iron, Beach Red, attack 1954, Stalingrad 1993, men behind the sun, attack force Z, a long days dying, and Das boot
I watched 20 minutes and turned it off. I am a big war movie fan but that was probably one of the worst things I've ever seen. Honestly a disservice to those who fought and died in such great service for this country.
Mario Van Peebles is the black Nic Cage. Coasts off of family recognition, stinks up virtually every movie he's in, and has a dopey face that makes people groan when they see it on a poster, "ACTING!". Except Cage can act.
i havent heard about that one but thats a thing with modern war epics in russia. Visually they may be good, like ant pointed out about the new Stalingrad. but the story usually sucks. If its about war it will surely have a love story that overshadows the war, it will historically inaccurate in many things, and it will probably pour shit on Soviet history. I feel its a pattern. Btw Fedor Bindarchuk is a fairly popular director in russia, but he started out as a clipmaker and it shows. many tend to not take his films seiously. Now his father was the GOAT as a director.
It's about an "undead" German Tiger and crack t34 crew of 3(?), Their tank commander being a reborn supernatural 2nd Lt. That can communicate with the tank God. Yeah the plot is wacky as hell but they used all real tanks as they have pretty good access to those over there. If you can suspend the goofy plot it's worth watching if you're into that stuff. T34 came out a few years ago and I think it's a lot better than White Tiger. The plot is much more plausible and the love story is there but kept to a minimum. Russians seem to be pretty good at tank movies. There was a miniseries I watched on Netflix a few years ago about the house that was defended by a platoon in Stalingrad. I think it was loosely based on Vasily Grossman too. Called Life and Fate or something like that, it was really really good. It was Russian made and didn't sugar-coat how jacked up being in the Russian Army was, dealing with political influence and commisars
Soldier of Orange is really good. It's about these Dutch kids and how World War II affects their lives. Rutger Hauer is the one who joins the Resistance. Oh, and Russian Ark did the one shot trick first. Another good movie.
They filmed some of the parts in South Africa in my home town of Upington. Two of my brothers were extras in some of the scenes. Funny thing is that white extras were US soldiers and brown extras were all Iraqi's.
Someone needs to get Ant to watch "Generation War". Which is different from "Generation Kill". Gen War is about ze Germans. Damn good it is. Especially if you don't fancy them as... the "bad guys"...
I love movies from the silent era to the 70s. I loved "When Worlds Collide". They let a guy get on the ship but not his wife so he gives up his seat. My wife would be out of luck. Lol.
Subbed is always the way to go for foreign films. I've heard great things about a Soviet film from the 80s called "Come and See" supposedly very brutal showing of the Russian front of WW2.
Russian War films rock so do German and some of the best are south Korean about the Korean invasion and other great War storys.Other then which some are dubbed but just great acting and production.
I wouldn't wish for such a thing these days. It would just be an opportunity to make Quint black, gay, or trans. Or to reveal a fabricated gay relationship between Quint and a shipmate. If Quint is white and straight, they'll write in something like he raped a shark and caused the whole incident. Anything to weaken the legacy of a classic character. I put nothing past current-day Hollywood.
I thought I was the only one that knew about that lol it’s such a great movie. Also check out beach red, attack 1954, a long days dying, men behind the sun, and come and see
Enemy At The Gates is my father's favorite war film as he was a survivor. He was born in Woroshilovgrad (now Luhansk) Ukraine, which is technically a Russian border town. When the Nazis invaded, burned the town and rounded up all the people to put on trains, he, his mother, his aunt and her husband were eventually transported to Braunschweig, Germany.
I think English accents are more believable to us because it’s harder to read overacting. To us, all accents other than ours already sound like overacting but we know they aren’t. But it’s easy to see that Nick Cage is a total fake because I know what it would sound like if I pretended I was a good actor. I went to a Chaldean mass once (Afghan and Iraqi Christians) and they do the whole thing in their language and even part of it in Aramaic. It was amazing for the simple reason that I couldn’t understand what they were saying.
I think Ant missed that scene where a black guy was fighting a while guy. As if there was any black people on the Indianapolis. Not trying to be racist but blacks were not on any ships during WWII. Would not have allowed it.
That Indianapolis movie looks terrible, the worst part of all these war movies is the number of people. The movie looks like 30 people as opposed to 1000

His dialog in Jaws was amazing. His dialog with Paul Newman in The Sting during the card game is also equally as amazing.
If they remade The Bridge on the River Kwai, I’m just gonna give up on movies. One of the best war/WWII movies all time.

Did Ant say - they weren’t fighting in Europe ?
Subbed is always the way to go for foreign films. I've heard great things about a Soviet film from the 80s called "Come and See" supposedly very brutal showing of the Russian front of WW2.
I wanna see the boat movie
Greyhound was good. Filmed on a real ship, no politics, just action with a focus on detail.
How else could u shoot a trench warfare WW1 movie most effectively. Tight spaces, etc. Seen submarine movies with 20x cut aways
Same way they shot paths of glory
Gallipoli ending battle sequence was good
The old movies are better anyway. The new movies are a waste of time
I think it came out right before everything fell to shit with Hollywood but I really like Fury with Brad Pitt, Shia LaBeouf, and Jon Bernthal.
You should check out the Chinese produced WW2 fighter plane movie with Bruce Willis - total laugh
Russian War films rock so do German and some of the best are south Korean about the Korean invasion and other great War storys.Other then which some are dubbed but just great acting and production.
You can't make a movie about the Indianapolis without a young Quint as the main character. It's the only prequel that wouldn't make me vomit
I wouldn't wish for such a thing these days. It would just be an opportunity to make Quint black, gay, or trans. Or to reveal a fabricated gay relationship between Quint and a shipmate. If Quint is white and straight, they'll write in something like he raped a shark and caused the whole incident. Anything to weaken the legacy of a classic character. I put nothing past current-day Hollywood.
Stalingrad is awesome in 3D.
The siege of jadotville ,best war movie in last couple of years and a true story
I think the russians own the record for actors in 1 shot in a war movie. Like 25k actors on a field for the battle of poltava
Respect. You know good war films.
You can root for the Nazi's or the commies, sounds like a fun movie.
Lmao 🤣
There was no “freedom” option in that one ☝️
Nic cage doesn't belong in war movies hahahahha
matter afact in any movie?! lmao
If you want a proper German version of WW2 I recommend you to watch Unsere Mütter, unsere Väter. You are welcome.
Thank you for your service
i recommend "land of mine"
Midway had the worst obvious greenscreen it ruined it for me.
I think Archie Bunker's description of England as a certain type of country explains why they are all such great actors.
Can’t stand Saving Private Ryan, Fury, or Hacksaw Ridge. Some of the best, most realistic WW2 battle scenes, are in Band of Brothers and The Pacific.
That Nick Cage abomination about the Indianapolis has friggin great whites when it should be tiger sharks lol. That's so dumb.
I was excited about the cowboy bebop live action on Netflix before I saw the cast
Ant is dead on about Quint’s speach
The German Stalingrad (1993) is way better.
I thought I was the only one that knew about that lol it’s such a great movie. Also check out beach red, attack 1954, a long days dying, men behind the sun, and come and see
@@Stephen-lt1tp Got the 4k Criterion Blu Ray of "Come and See" as soon as it was released!
How does anthony drink a beer. It must be so warm by the end
He's just drinking it like a soda, you alcoholic.
1917 and hacksaw ridge were good
All you had to say was "Nick Cage is in it", aaaannd I'm out. Ha ha
Love you anthony.
Enemy At The Gates is my father's favorite war film as he was a survivor. He was born in Woroshilovgrad (now Luhansk) Ukraine, which is technically a Russian border town. When the Nazis invaded, burned the town and rounded up all the people to put on trains, he, his mother, his aunt and her husband were eventually transported to Braunschweig, Germany.
oh gaawwwwwwddd
Really dumb, extremely inaccurate movie. You must be pretty uneducated
You have to watch some of the current Korean War films,….absolutely incredible, and incredibly disturbing,…way better than Stalingrad.
Any movie suggestions?
Only 50yrs I've had
Ok I liked Midway. I know the cgi is game like but still. Its all action.
I think that's a science fiction movie.
I think English accents are more believable to us because it’s harder to read overacting.
To us, all accents other than ours already sound like overacting but we know they aren’t.
But it’s easy to see that Nick Cage is a total fake because I know what it would sound like if I pretended I was a good actor.
I went to a Chaldean mass once (Afghan and Iraqi Christians) and they do the whole thing in their language and even part of it in Aramaic. It was amazing for the simple reason that I couldn’t understand what they were saying.
You can tell the Russian movies by the kickass real tanks and other vehicles. South Korea has a few good war flicks out.
ugh I saw that Indianapolis movie
I think Ant missed that scene where a black guy was fighting a while guy. As if there was any black people on the Indianapolis. Not trying to be racist but blacks were not on any ships during WWII. Would not have allowed it.
1917 was excellent and the last movie I saw in a theater pre COVID
The German made Stalingrad is so much fucking better
That Indianapolis movie looks terrible, the worst part of all these war movies is the number of people. The movie looks like 30 people as opposed to 1000
