Out here, where I live in China, some 'western films' are available, copied no doubt.
The other day , I chanced upon 'As Far As My Feet Will Carry Me'
Not really a war movie but I think it merits mention as it is based upon a true and quite moving story.
Clemens Forell, a German soldier during WW II, is sentenced to a labour camp in far east Siberia and the film is the story of his escape and the adventure of his long long journey home to his family.

The Downfall or (Der Untergang)

In April of 1945, Germany stands at the brink of defeat with the Russian Army closing in from the east and the Allied Expeditionary Force attacking from the west. In Berlin, capital of the Third Reich, Adolf Hitler proclaims that Germany will still achieve victory and orders his Generals and advisers to fight to the last man. "Downfall" explores these final days of the Reich, where senior German leaders (such as Himmler and Goring) began defecting from their beloved Fuhrer, in an effort to save their own lives, while still others (Joseph Goebbels) pledge to die with Hitler. Hitler, himself, degenerates into a paranoid shell of a man, full of optimism one moment and suicidal depression the next. When the end finally does comes, and Hitler lies dead by his own hand, what is left of his military must find a way to end the killing that is the Battle of Berlin, and lay down their arms in surrender
Swiss born actor Bruno Ganz does an exceptional job of playing Hitler.

Watched Ice Cold in Alex last night on DVD, one of my favourites.
Maybe tonight it'll be Dambusters or the Colditz Story.

I've seen them all dozens of times but could watch them a dozen more times again

I watched "The Pianist" last weekend, isntead of doing my homework. My mother's fault for turning it on and getting me interested. It was very good, though. I liked the claustrophobic focus on the just one man. I think I may like it better than "Schindler's List", which I saw for the first time only a few months ago. "The Pianist" is so straight forward in its direction, and I do like that. "Schindler" looks almost too beautiful sometimes. The direction is amazing, but it can distract me, as a movie buff, more.

Oh hell, they're both pretty amazing movies.

I am dying to see that movie, and somehow haven't yet! It was on TV recently, and I was excited and ready to dvr it, but alas, there was a reason it was on AMC (isn't that American Movie Classics?), it was dubbed! The dubbing looked better than it might be, but I still just turned it off. I can't take any live action movie seriously that has been dubbed. Nothing wrong with subtitles, they just mean you have to keep your eyes on the screen!

That's right, blame your mom. She's only sacrificed everything for you the past 20 years, slaving over a hot stove, powdering you butt after a diaper change, bandaging your scrapped knee, making sure you got to karate practice, getting you that job at Hooters...oops, you didn't want them to know about that, did you?

I only blame her for cultivating my history nerdness further! She's the one who rented "The Great Escape" when I was 15, and now she distracts me with "The Pianist". Clearly, she's got to start renting horrible romantic comedies, like a proper mother... She's leading me astray.
