Thnx for the add. I've been trying to get ahold of Die Flucht for some time, it's the only one out of your list I have not been able to obtain. Unsere Mutter Unsere Vater (Generation War) is one of the best, if not THE best, out of all WWII era films in my opinion. Either that one or Der Untergang (Downfall). Thanks again to all posters, I have found a few really good films from all the suggestions - keep them coming!

I am looking forward to the new movie Anthropoid, a film about the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich, similar to the movie Operation Daybreak, which was pretty good.

1) Decision Before Dawn.....1952-Richard Basehart, Oskar Werner
2) The Longest Day.....1962-John Wayne, Robert Mitchum, Richard Burton, Sean Connery
3) The Big Red One.....1980-Lee Marvin
4) Kelly's Heroes.....1970-Clint Eastwood, Telly Savalas, Donald Sutherland, Don Rickles
5) Eye Of The Needle.....1981-Donald Sutherland

All of the above are excellent movies in my opinion and well worth watching, although some may have been previously mentioned.
