Just curious. Any opinions of how this 'Resistance' film stacks up with others?
Of course, Melville's film I think is certainly up there with the best. But arguably can it perhaps be THE best? Thanks ahead for your input.
The only film I can think that comes close is "Pan's Labyrinth".
sharePan's Labyrinth was not about the French Resistance; it took place in Spain after the Spanish Civil War (though I suppose the remaining Republican loyalists were similar to the French Resistance fighters).
See here for a list of movies etc. that deal with the Resistance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Resistance#Legacy
I know. But the OP wrote:

...plus it features the best animated skeleton army this side of Jason and the Argonauts. Still, I prefer the seriousness of the first instalment, without this whole chainsaw-arm nonsense.
Missed Lino Ventura's cameo in this: was he one of the deadites?
