For me it’s hard to pick the best. I love Saving Private Ryan, Band of brothers, Masters of the Air and Dunkirk.

If I had to pick it would be Saving Private Ryan cos I just love it, it has so many incredible scenes and such realistic characters.

    There was a movie I found a while ago called The Train made in the 60s. It’s about (you guessed it!) a train. It has a full load of stolen French artwork headed for Nazi Germany to be sold.

    Aside from the immense cultural value the money could also be used to fund a whole division’s worth of equipment so the French Resistance is tasked with stopping it, ideally without blowing it up. They also have to mark the car roofs to keep allied strafing runs from destroying them.

    I had never heard of it but it was surprisingly awesome. There is tense sabotage, full on practical effects air raids and train derailments, railroad repair shown with real equipment etc. Not the best ever imo but I enjoyed it

      ‘Le Train’ is a wonderful film. With Burt Lancaster and Jeanne Moreau. Set in ‘44 when the Germans were retreating. I’ve seen it a few times. Well worth a watch.
