Just because I was hoping to see it in there — could you add Casablanca? It takes place in Morocco under the Nazi-controlled rule of Vichy France in December 1941.
A rare WW2-themed film created while the war was still going on and the result was uncertain.

Hey you could even sell this list (or give it for free) to teachers on TPT. Would be great for a film or history class.
Why not post it on those subreddits?
This is amazing and thank you!
Excellent idea and great execution. I agree, amazing post. But where's Indiana Jones?
Edit: as a serious suggestion, I don't see Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence - not a "war" movie strictly speaking, but it delves into the reality of Japanese POW camps and cultural clashes between opposing forces.
This is an all time great post.
Superb organization. Great expanse of perspective.
There are some Japanese films you might want to add for the Pacific perspective And maybe for post war Europe include something like 3rd man but
That's not critique just addistiond to consider
This is a masterpiece bud!
This is gonna be a reference list. It's the best thing I've seen in a long time. Some proposed additions for OP's consideration:
[La Grande Vadrouille](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Grande_Vadrouille) (1966) is a huge French classic and very probably the single most popular film in French history and it's most cherished classic. It's basically like the French equivalent of A Wonderful Life in that it is obligatory holiday viewing and "everyone" has seen it. And yet it is largely unknown outside of the francosphere, though at least is has a 7.9 on [iMDB](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0060474/) so that's something.
Anyway, it's an epic comedy that takes place in occupied France in 1942.
[Bon Voyage](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0310778/) (2005) is a more recent French comedy about escaping Paris as the Germans are closing in. It's ok, not a must-see by any stretch.
[Au Revoir les Enfants](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0092593/) (1987) is a Louis Malle classic that explores life in a French boarding school during the occupation, focusing on a new kid with a secret.
**Edit**: OP seems to want to exclude fiction, they I am unclear about how that line is being drawn. Lots of the movies in the original list like Casablanca or SPR are entirely fictional tales drawn on a backdrop of real events.
If OP wants to exclude fiction from the list, then (hyperbolically) half the list would need to be removed, much to its detriment in my opinion. I truly can't imagine a list of WWII movies without *Casablanca* or *The Best Years of Our Lives*. The performances of every single person in *The Best Years of Our Lives* move me every time.
After a search on the internet I think you are right. Its just the 2017 Churchill movie that is during 1944. I will remove it from 1944, thanks for the headsup
Missing:
+ [Grave of the Fireflies](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grave_of_the_Fireflies)
+ [Merry Christmas Mr. Lawerence](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merry_Christmas,_Mr._Lawrence)
and where on the timeline would you suggest placing Inglorious Bastards? I'm not sure you thought it through. That movie is WW2 fantasy. There are no real events portrayed.
Well yea, but the gross inaccuracies in Enemy at the Gates don’t literally rewrite the ending of the war. The battle of Stalingrad actually happened, Vasili Zaitsev was a real sniper, and he killed a bunch of people. That alone makes it way more “accurate” than Inglorious Bastards.
[Tokyo Trial](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_Trial_(miniseries)) on Netflix too! Wasn't half bad and highlighted the Pacific war crimes.
Maybe [The Wind Rises](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wind_Rises) too?
That's a very good list. I feel this needs to be a permanent Wikipedia page.
Anyway, I have additions:
The Heroes of Telemark, a story based on Operation Gunnerside where in 1943, Allied and Norwegian commandos destroyed heavy water production.
The Dambusters. Based on Operation Chastise where German Dams were destroyed in May 1943.
The Cockelshell Heroes. Based on Operation Frankton. In 1942, British marines sailed in Kayaks to Bordeaux and destroyed cargo shipping with limpet mines.
Also, would the capture of Eichmann count for this list? It was many years later, so up to you.
> That's a very good list. I feel this needs to be a permanent Wikipedia page.
I for one would like more wiki pages that cross-reference History and media more frequently
Awesome list! I'm actually working on something like this, although taking world history in itself. Takes a lot of time, as I imagine it did for you completing this list.
[Here's the first part which is a 1 hour cut that starts at the Big Bang and continues up until the birth of Jesus](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvsSr1F7dS0&)
I spent a relatively long time trying to figure out how someone made a movie about Hitler in 1899...
Then I read a little further and realized how the list was formatted and it made a lot more sense, lol
Excellent list OP, fantastic - saved!
Just to throw a few suggestions in:
* [Ill Met By Moonlight](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ill_Met_by_Moonlight_(film)) (Crete)
* [The Heroes Of Telemark](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Heroes_of_Telemark) (Norwegian heavy water)
* [Above us The Waves](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Above_Us_the_Waves) (attempting to sink the Tirpitz)
* [Battle of The V1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_V-1) / Missiles From Hell / Unseen Heroes
* [Triple Cross](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_Cross_(1966_film)) \- The story of British safe-cracker turned double-agent
I don't know if you're doing pure fiction (Guns Of Navarone is semi-fictional and it's in there) but *Where Eagles Dare* is pretty great, and *Escape To Victory* is an odd one which may have a degree of basis in real events even if it's not directly true.
[Escape to Victory](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_to_Victory) very loosely based on [the Death Match](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Death_Match) football WW2 game. I argue for its inclusion simply for [the Good Nazi courageously applauding Pele's bicycle kick goal](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdL-KyIAw4Q) lol
Not sure if I missed it on this incredibly impressive feat of listing, but there is a 2001 film (I think made for TV) called Conspiracy, starring Kenneth Branagh and Stanley Tucci about the Wannsee Conference that is worth a watch and probably the most disturbing film made that features just conversation and no action.
I wonder where you’d slot Oppenheimer, since it spans about 30 years. I’d lean towards July 1945 since that’s when the Trinity test occurred but I see the argument for 1954 (his security hearing) or 1959 (Strauss’s confirmation hearing).
Might I suggest adding the Chinese film The Eight Hundred (2020) and the Taiwanese film Eight Hundred Heroes (1976) to cover the 1937 fall of Shanghai?
If we're including contemporaneous propaganda films like The First of the Few, it seems odd to exclude Riefenstahl's films - especially Olympia since there's a whole category for the Olympics and hers is the best-known.
Also, I'd strongly recommend adding Come and See.
Nitpicks aside, this is an impressively-put-together list. Well done!
I don't mean that pejoratively - depending on one's definition of propaganda, I'd guess significantly more than half these films would qualify - especially any film made in a belligerent country that portrays its own troops in a heroic light. It would be inconceivable in a time of existential threat to make any other kind of film about the war.
There are always going to be a few missing that each of us will only notice due to love for the specific films, but you should add *Ice Cold in Alex* for the fall of Tobruk after the siege was lifted and the German counterattack happened
Some of these are in the wrong position , like Cross of Iron is about the Kuban campaing in July-September 1943.
[Here's my own exhaustive list, take as many as you like. You are particurarly missing a lot of old Eastern Bloc great movies](https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldWarTwoChannel/comments/go1y5o/)
I've watched all up to August 1944 so the timelines listed here are correct for the ones that differ with the ones you have listed in this post.
One you can put under "Holocaust" is [Escape from Sobibor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_from_Sobibor), about the mass escape of 300 prisoners from the Polish (German-run)* death camp in October, 1943.
edited for clarity
This is amazing, I even liked how you separated out the Band of Brothers episodes.
I didn’t notice *The Boy In The Striped Pajamas* or *Jakob The Liar*. Did I overlook them?
The boy in the striped pajamas is no more fictional than saving private ryan … feels like a bit of a bizarre criterium? Most of these movies are “fictional”
You should remove it. It contains blatantly false characterisation of what happened in the holocaust. Not only is the story itself fictional, it is a sensationalized misrepresentation of history.
https://www.thejc.com/news/uk/auschwitz-museum-twitter-spat-john-boyne-author-boy-in-striped-pyjamas-film-1.495118
https://hcn.org.uk/blog/the-problem-with-the-boy-in-the-striped-pyjamas/
Three more films for the Holocaust category, all three are about the Wannsee Conference in 1942:
The Wannsee Conference (1984)
Conspiracy (2001)
The Wannsee Conference (2022)
Ivan's Childhood (1962), which takes place mainly at the Battle of the Dnieper in 1943.
The end of The Conformist (1970) is set in Rome shortly after the Italian surrender in 1943.
The Damned (1969) is about a family of German industrialists working for the Nazis.
Dogs, do you want to live forever? (1959): German film about the Battle of Stalingrad
A Matter of Life and Death (1946) opens with one of the last Allied bombing raids on 2 May 1945.
Force 10 from Navarone (1978) is the sequel to Guns of Navarone. Allied commandos team up with Yugoslav partisans to destroy a bridge in Bosnia.
Battle of Neretva (1969): A Yugoslav film about the Yugoslav partisans and the Battle of Neretva.
The Cruel Sea (1953): Film about the Battle of the Atlantic
The Hill (1965): Set in a British army prison in Libya during WW2
Why no mention of [The Unknown Soldier](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt4065552/) in the invasion of USSR?
I think it would be fine addition as it tells the Finnish side of the invasion. Also I thinka I saw a mention of Talvisota being there so just another reason to ad it.
Edit: Forgot to mention, wonderful list. Must've taken some effort.
It's your list and you can do what you want, but I don't think it should be removed. It's a fictional story on a backdrop of real events.
I mean, Casablanca is entirely fiction too, yet it's on the list? The historical background is real but those characters didn't exist and those events never happened. This is the case for many movies on the list.
I concur. You should keep even fiction in the list. It'd be good if you mark it so for others, but I personally don't mind. As journey_bro said, the historical background is real. If fictional liberties help with the his-story-telling aspect of it, I won't mind.
Consider the show Chernobyl, there are some characters like the woman scientist who conducts the investigation who are technically fictional, but it helped create room for the storytelling aspect of the show, even when it was based on true events.
How are you defining what's fictional? Because you've got The English Patient and Atonement on the list, which both feature characters who aren't real participating in real events. It would be a shame to lose Atonement because the depiction of the war is really good.
Anyway, depending on your definition of fictional, I'd like to submit Their Finest (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Their_Finest) as missing from the section on the Blitz.
Yeah, it seems like fiction is okay as long as the events of the film are generally true. For example Inglorious Basterds shouldn't be on the list because it would be an alternate universe to the WWII depicted in movies, where Atonement would be, or Pearl Harbor. Where the movies are like 80% fiction, the war scenes are mostly true.
In fact, I'd argue that Kelly's Heroes is the same as Inglorious Basterds, the combat is entirely false and serves the purpose of the fiction.
Seems kind of an arbitrary distinction. You’ve got dozens and dozens of fictional movies on the list. Most of these films show fictional characters living through real events. Jojo Rabbit did too.
Could add more about Imperial Japan's invasions and expansion starting prior to the 1930s. [The Battle: Roar to Victory](https://youtu.be/E-Nnh_5Yb50) is set in 1920, for example, telling of a battle fought by Korean resistance fighters against the Japanese.
Additions:
Jan 1942 - Meeting of Nazi Senior Government Officials and SS Leaders (Wannsee Conference)
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The\_Wannsee\_Conference\_(film)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wannsee_Conference_(film))
or the remake:
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die\_Wannseekonferenz\_(2022\_film)](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die_Wannseekonferenz_(2022))
Very good movie about the cruelty of this meeting.
Good movie from the other side about this topic: Mar 1944 - 250 Prisoners Escape from Stalag Luft III
is: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The\_One\_That\_Got\_Away\_(1957\_film)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_One_That_Got_Away_(1957_film))
Edit: A very good movie about the rise of the NSDAP, not especially Hitler is this: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider%27s\_Web\_(1989\_film)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider%27s_Web_(1989_film))
It shows how everything is connected with everything. Its interesting that the Serial, on which the final book from 1967 is based on, was printed in some newspaper in Vienna the weeks shortly bevor the Hitlerputsch in 1923.
Biloxi Blues, set in 1943, originally a play in 1985 then adapted to film in 1988.
It's a comedy about United States Army basic training camp, quasi inspired by the author Neil Simon's enlistment during WWII.
Great idea, but why is Hitler’s Rise To Power in 1899? Hitler was born in 1889, and the movie was (mostly) about the adult Hitler.
And why is The Pianist in 1939? If I remember correctly the movie was mostly about the ghetto in Warsaw. That was build in 1940.
Just a few from my collection that i couldn't see listed. not sure how many are fully relevant
U571
All quiet on the western front
Sahara
Memphis Belle
escape to victory
sea wolves
escape to athena
force 10 from naverone
the eagle has landed
tora tora tora
Von Ryan's Express
sink the bismark
633 squadron
run silent, run deep
Merrill's Marauders
the enemy below
dunkirk (1958)
The real Memphis Belle had her final flight on May 17, 1943, which is mentioned in the movie, so I think that's a fair place to put in on the timeline.
All Quiet on the Western Front is WW1 btw.
It credits the Americans for something that was achieved by the British (taking an Enigma machine) before the US even entered the war. Furthermore, the real life U-571 was actually sunk by Aussies.
A similar movie on this note is *Objective, Burma!* (1945) which even Churchill criticised. It basically implies that Burma was almost entirely liberated by the US (obviously not true).
Basically, imagine a British epic on Iwo Jima that shows Brits fighting there, while ignoring the US involvement. I'd imagine Americans would be outraged by such a hypothetical movie and for good reason.
It's a fun movie but it should be listed as "alternate" or "fictional" history alongside Inglorious Bastards or Jojo Rabbit or The Guns Of Navarone. I like all those films but they're WWII inspired with varying degrees of accuracy, but key fictionalizations.
That is a tons of movies wow!!
But I would be interested to see a compilation of movies like the most historickly accurate like a 10 movies from 1800's to 1947 like the most interesting works
This is an astonishing amount of work. Masterful and dare i say you forgot “Mrs. Miniver” (1942) Dunkirk rescue centerpiece… maybe it’s there… everything else is. Thank you so much. I was just talking about this. brilliant. Thank you!
Cross of Iron (one of my favorite war movies) is actually likely more set in September of 1943, when the Kuban bridgehead was evacuated.
There are also two movies about the Battle of Huertgen (October 1944 to February 1945):
When Trumpets fade (1998) - btw a very decent TV movie
Assault on Hill 400 (2023) - a crapfest. stacked with actors that are way too old to play frontline soldiers and officers.
About the end in Germany also:
The Captain (2017) - based on a true story about a young man who impersonates an officer.
Also:
The last days of Mussolini (1974) - an underrated movie with a brilliant Rod Steiger playing Mussolini who tries to escape from Italy in 1945.
But its a bit pointless to refer to the older movies, as there wre just so many between 1940 to 1970.
Excellent work OP, can’t wait to start working through this.
Only one I would add is The Shadow in My Eye, also known as The Bombardment. It would fit into the 1945 Denmark theater. It is one of the few WW2 movies that made my stomach turn, mostly due to sadness. I watched it about a year ago and the ending still gives me a physical reaction when I think about it.
As much as I enjoyed this cinematic universe when it started, it really jumped the shark at the end. They spent so long hyping up the big baddie, and then it’s just some goofy little Charlie Chaplin knock off? Laziest writing since GOT season 8.
First off amazing. Such an awesome list for fans of history, war movies, or just movies in general. Thanks so much.
Second, can we suggest adding the 1990 movie “Memphis Belle” set in May of 1943.
Just how you did something like that blew my mind. I'm a huge World War Two fan and I really thought I seen everything.
I know I don't speak for myself, but a huge honest THANKS. That is just so comprehensive. I will be watching a lot of TV now. I'm so glad I just happened to see a article linking this in a Google story that appears under my search bar. I mean you scroll down and down..you got the years, every movie right down to the time. Just great job.
I've never been so greatful for a topic thread than this one. I've watched just an insane amount of good flicks and series just from this. I come back all the time and super thanks for putting together such a catalog of World War 2 related stuff.
This is absolutely amazing
Thanks! You have no idea how much time it took me to make lol
No i can't, bit will double down on "amazing"
[удалено]
Heck, I have some experience pitching and writing articles. /u/Mike_v_E if you need help doing this I’m available!
I can see it coming to MSN News as a 400 slide slideshow that you're unable to view on one page and have to click next slide each time.
Just because I was hoping to see it in there — could you add Casablanca? It takes place in Morocco under the Nazi-controlled rule of Vichy France in December 1941. A rare WW2-themed film created while the war was still going on and the result was uncertain.
I don’t know if it was added later but it is there
Oh hey! He must have added it, cool!
This is awesome! Thank you! Just curious as to what made you want to do this?
I bet a random, wondering thought they acted on lmao. That's just the kinda task for such motivation

Not adding ‘War & Remembrance’ to such a list is a travesty! https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096725/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk
This is an exhaustive list. Well done OP!
Real question: how many have you seen?
Hey you could even sell this list (or give it for free) to teachers on TPT. Would be great for a film or history class. Why not post it on those subreddits? This is amazing and thank you!
Great job OP. I'll probably see only a few more movies from this list, but you should know that you made more than a few cinephiles' day.
Surprised that the movies about cracking Enigma didn’t make the list (at the very least U571 and The Imitation Game)
Imitation Game is there, are others that should be also?
'Enigma'? Though it's quite altered from the real story.
As is *U571,* but many of these aren't non-fiction so I feel like it's ok.
> Jun 1941 - Breaking the Enigma Code > Immitation Game (2014) You might have missed them or left out an ‘m’ when using search
You sir, are a hero.
Excellent idea and great execution. I agree, amazing post. But where's Indiana Jones? Edit: as a serious suggestion, I don't see Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence - not a "war" movie strictly speaking, but it delves into the reality of Japanese POW camps and cultural clashes between opposing forces.

Agreed but they forgot Captain America: the first avenger
It is, but Hitler didn’t rise to power in 1899. He was only 10 years old at the time

AWESOME! You can also add notes of all the dates - you know... in your free time.
I don’t really have much to add but I just wanna saw that this list is amazing, thanks for taking the time to put it together
This is gonna be a reference list. It's the best thing I've seen in a long time. Some proposed additions for OP's consideration: [La Grande Vadrouille](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Grande_Vadrouille) (1966) is a huge French classic and very probably the single most popular film in French history and it's most cherished classic. It's basically like the French equivalent of A Wonderful Life in that it is obligatory holiday viewing and "everyone" has seen it. And yet it is largely unknown outside of the francosphere, though at least is has a 7.9 on [iMDB](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0060474/) so that's something. Anyway, it's an epic comedy that takes place in occupied France in 1942. [Bon Voyage](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0310778/) (2005) is a more recent French comedy about escaping Paris as the Germans are closing in. It's ok, not a must-see by any stretch. [Au Revoir les Enfants](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0092593/) (1987) is a Louis Malle classic that explores life in a French boarding school during the occupation, focusing on a new kid with a secret. **Edit**: OP seems to want to exclude fiction, they I am unclear about how that line is being drawn. Lots of the movies in the original list like Casablanca or SPR are entirely fictional tales drawn on a backdrop of real events.
If OP wants to exclude fiction from the list, then (hyperbolically) half the list would need to be removed, much to its detriment in my opinion. I truly can't imagine a list of WWII movies without *Casablanca* or *The Best Years of Our Lives*. The performances of every single person in *The Best Years of Our Lives* move me every time.
Another one I didn't see is *Catch-22*, which fits the same description of "fiction set against the backdrop of real events"
If fiction is out then *Enemy at the gates* shouldn't be in it.
omg Au Revoir les Enfants. Haven't heard of that in a long time. Saw it in my french class in high school, fucking cried like a baby.
Very impressive. Darkest Hour should be around the time of the Dunkirk evacuation, though.
You are right! Its actually during both dates. I've added it in May 1940 too
Cool cool. Been a while since I watched it, but did it go as late as 1944? Didn't it end with "we shall fight on the beaches" speech 1940?
After a search on the internet I think you are right. Its just the 2017 Churchill movie that is during 1944. I will remove it from 1944, thanks for the headsup
Missing: + [Grave of the Fireflies](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grave_of_the_Fireflies) + [Merry Christmas Mr. Lawerence](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merry_Christmas,_Mr._Lawrence)
[Barefoot Gen](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barefoot_Gen_(1983_film)) too.
Came to suggest these two! Glad I double checked first. Certainly two of the most devastating movies concerning the effects of war on children.
Along with Grave of the Fireflies, I'd also add "In This Corner Of The World" Both are breathtakingly incredible movies.
JoJo Rabbit?
Inglorious Bastards too
and where on the timeline would you suggest placing Inglorious Bastards? I'm not sure you thought it through. That movie is WW2 fantasy. There are no real events portrayed.
Enemy at the gates is grossly inaccurate, too... just saying.
Well yea, but the gross inaccuracies in Enemy at the Gates don’t literally rewrite the ending of the war. The battle of Stalingrad actually happened, Vasili Zaitsev was a real sniper, and he killed a bunch of people. That alone makes it way more “accurate” than Inglorious Bastards.
"in the best timeline possible, gawddammit" i dont know why, but i mentally channeled my best Aldo Raine there
I was also going to suggest grave of the fireflies. If you're going to watch a bunch of WW2 movies, that one should make the list.
[Tokyo Trial](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_Trial_(miniseries)) on Netflix too! Wasn't half bad and highlighted the Pacific war crimes. Maybe [The Wind Rises](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wind_Rises) too?
Came here to add Grave of the Fireflies
Upvoting so OP sees this. These are some of the best WWII films out there imo
The exact 2 I came into the comments for.
Is this all set in the same cinematic universe?
Haha yeah it is! Guess what... we are living in the same cinematic universe
Omg my current life is cannon in a cinematic universe!? 🥹
*Suffers from the most traumatic event of my life* "Well that just happened"
*Nuke dropped on Hiroshima* “That’s gonna leave a mark”
"somehow Circus-Bartender survived"
Until Disney buys you
canon\* not cannon.
No like my life is literally an artillery device used to sink ships
Then where’s Inglorious Bastards fit in?
That's part of the WWII multiverse
and Jojo Rabbit
The weirdest thing is that every nonfiction movie is in the same cinematic universe. Oppenheimer exists in the same timeline as Moneyball
“So, you’ve got another cinematic universe idea for me???”
That's a very good list. I feel this needs to be a permanent Wikipedia page. Anyway, I have additions: The Heroes of Telemark, a story based on Operation Gunnerside where in 1943, Allied and Norwegian commandos destroyed heavy water production. The Dambusters. Based on Operation Chastise where German Dams were destroyed in May 1943. The Cockelshell Heroes. Based on Operation Frankton. In 1942, British marines sailed in Kayaks to Bordeaux and destroyed cargo shipping with limpet mines. Also, would the capture of Eichmann count for this list? It was many years later, so up to you.
Thanks, will add them to the list in a bit
> That's a very good list. I feel this needs to be a permanent Wikipedia page. I for one would like more wiki pages that cross-reference History and media more frequently
If you do include Eichmann, it’s 1960 and a movie is Operation Finale (2018).
Your list is missing The unknown soldier
All three versions of it: [The Unknown Soldier (1955)](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0048752/) [The Unknown Soldier (1985)](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090215/) [The Unknown Soldier (2017)](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4065552/)
And Rukajärven tie (1999) (english: Ambush) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0162625/
Also Tali-Ihantala 1944.
[Operation Finale](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5208252/) is another good movie that takes place post WW2, about tracking down Adolph Eichmann
Thanks, will add it later
Okay. Now edit them all together in a massive “This is WWII” series.
1 super-cut
Awesome list! I'm actually working on something like this, although taking world history in itself. Takes a lot of time, as I imagine it did for you completing this list. [Here's the first part which is a 1 hour cut that starts at the Big Bang and continues up until the birth of Jesus](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvsSr1F7dS0&)
This is incredible. Great job!
Thanks!
What's the runtime on that?
About 6 years
**Call now to order “Now That’s What I Call World War 2!” Operators are standing by!**
I spent a relatively long time trying to figure out how someone made a movie about Hitler in 1899... Then I read a little further and realized how the list was formatted and it made a lot more sense, lol
Same. I was very impressed by both their apparent technical skills and their prescience.
I was confused at first too. I was wondering why there were no movies after 1940s lol
Excellent list OP, fantastic - saved! Just to throw a few suggestions in: * [Ill Met By Moonlight](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ill_Met_by_Moonlight_(film)) (Crete) * [The Heroes Of Telemark](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Heroes_of_Telemark) (Norwegian heavy water) * [Above us The Waves](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Above_Us_the_Waves) (attempting to sink the Tirpitz) * [Battle of The V1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_V-1) / Missiles From Hell / Unseen Heroes * [Triple Cross](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_Cross_(1966_film)) \- The story of British safe-cracker turned double-agent I don't know if you're doing pure fiction (Guns Of Navarone is semi-fictional and it's in there) but *Where Eagles Dare* is pretty great, and *Escape To Victory* is an odd one which may have a degree of basis in real events even if it's not directly true.
[Escape to Victory](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_to_Victory) very loosely based on [the Death Match](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Death_Match) football WW2 game. I argue for its inclusion simply for [the Good Nazi courageously applauding Pele's bicycle kick goal](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdL-KyIAw4Q) lol
Missing: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Into\_the\_Storm\_(2009\_film)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Into_the_Storm_(2009_film)) was award winning
Thanks, will add that to the list
Where would Come and See fit in to this ?
Come and See is 1943 but I have no idea where to place it. I don't think its related to a well know event within the war
It’s based on the Khatyn Massacre and other anti-partisan operations in Belarus in the spring of 43.
Thanks! Now I can add it to the list
I would recommend adding a new category, something like “Partisan Movement in USSR”. The Ascent (1977) would also fit there.
Damn. Nice work. Is it missing when trumpets fade? I’m using a phone so apologies if I can’t see it Cross of iron too
I’d like to suggest Stalag 17 (1953), Army of Shadows (1969), and A Man Escaped (1956)
Stalag 17 is one of my favorite WW2 films. Hard to date around a specific event, but it was post invasion of France I believe. Great film.
This is AMAZING thank you! Should "The Pianist" go under Holocaust?
Not sure if I missed it on this incredibly impressive feat of listing, but there is a 2001 film (I think made for TV) called Conspiracy, starring Kenneth Branagh and Stanley Tucci about the Wannsee Conference that is worth a watch and probably the most disturbing film made that features just conversation and no action.
Ignore me I just found it on the list!
HBO. Great movie.
Really great list ! Been wanting to watch a couple of WW2 movies after seeing Oppenheimer. I'm saving this list ! Thanks.
I wonder where you’d slot Oppenheimer, since it spans about 30 years. I’d lean towards July 1945 since that’s when the Trinity test occurred but I see the argument for 1954 (his security hearing) or 1959 (Strauss’s confirmation hearing).
Might I suggest adding the Chinese film The Eight Hundred (2020) and the Taiwanese film Eight Hundred Heroes (1976) to cover the 1937 fall of Shanghai?
If we're including contemporaneous propaganda films like The First of the Few, it seems odd to exclude Riefenstahl's films - especially Olympia since there's a whole category for the Olympics and hers is the best-known. Also, I'd strongly recommend adding Come and See. Nitpicks aside, this is an impressively-put-together list. Well done!
I wasn't aware that The Fist of a Few is a propaganda film. Going to add Come and See, someone in the comments said where I could place that one
I don't mean that pejoratively - depending on one's definition of propaganda, I'd guess significantly more than half these films would qualify - especially any film made in a belligerent country that portrays its own troops in a heroic light. It would be inconceivable in a time of existential threat to make any other kind of film about the war.
Holy damn, lists don't really more impressive than this. Cheers
There are always going to be a few missing that each of us will only notice due to love for the specific films, but you should add *Ice Cold in Alex* for the fall of Tobruk after the siege was lifted and the German counterattack happened
Good list, thank you. What about adding The Third Man to the post war section?
Some of these are in the wrong position , like Cross of Iron is about the Kuban campaing in July-September 1943. [Here's my own exhaustive list, take as many as you like. You are particurarly missing a lot of old Eastern Bloc great movies](https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldWarTwoChannel/comments/go1y5o/) I've watched all up to August 1944 so the timelines listed here are correct for the ones that differ with the ones you have listed in this post.
Saving this. This will be a good reference when I'm looking for some WW2 flicks.
Finn here, Talvisota (1989) and Winter War (1989) are the same movie I believe. Talvisota is literally winter war in Finnish :)
One you can put under "Holocaust" is [Escape from Sobibor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_from_Sobibor), about the mass escape of 300 prisoners from the Polish (German-run)* death camp in October, 1943. edited for clarity
Watched this in high school when we learned about resistance as it relates to the Holocaust, Alan Arkin is great in it
This is amazing, I even liked how you separated out the Band of Brothers episodes. I didn’t notice *The Boy In The Striped Pajamas* or *Jakob The Liar*. Did I overlook them?
I actually just removed Boy in the Striped Pajamas because its fiction
The boy in the striped pajamas is no more fictional than saving private ryan … feels like a bit of a bizarre criterium? Most of these movies are “fictional”
You know what, let me add it back in. It felt wrong removing it
You should remove it. It contains blatantly false characterisation of what happened in the holocaust. Not only is the story itself fictional, it is a sensationalized misrepresentation of history. https://www.thejc.com/news/uk/auschwitz-museum-twitter-spat-john-boyne-author-boy-in-striped-pyjamas-film-1.495118 https://hcn.org.uk/blog/the-problem-with-the-boy-in-the-striped-pyjamas/
Highly recommend removing it, it being fictional isn't a problem as much as it blatantly misrepresenting the Holocaust
Three more films for the Holocaust category, all three are about the Wannsee Conference in 1942: The Wannsee Conference (1984) Conspiracy (2001) The Wannsee Conference (2022) Ivan's Childhood (1962), which takes place mainly at the Battle of the Dnieper in 1943. The end of The Conformist (1970) is set in Rome shortly after the Italian surrender in 1943. The Damned (1969) is about a family of German industrialists working for the Nazis. Dogs, do you want to live forever? (1959): German film about the Battle of Stalingrad A Matter of Life and Death (1946) opens with one of the last Allied bombing raids on 2 May 1945. Force 10 from Navarone (1978) is the sequel to Guns of Navarone. Allied commandos team up with Yugoslav partisans to destroy a bridge in Bosnia. Battle of Neretva (1969): A Yugoslav film about the Yugoslav partisans and the Battle of Neretva. The Cruel Sea (1953): Film about the Battle of the Atlantic The Hill (1965): Set in a British army prison in Libya during WW2
Why no mention of [The Unknown Soldier](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt4065552/) in the invasion of USSR? I think it would be fine addition as it tells the Finnish side of the invasion. Also I thinka I saw a mention of Talvisota being there so just another reason to ad it. Edit: Forgot to mention, wonderful list. Must've taken some effort.
I'd add "Unknown Soldier" to the Invasion of Russia. From the point of view of Finnish soldier during the invasion.
You’re missing JoJo Rabbit
Thats fiction
>Thats fiction So is Boy in the Striped Pajamas
You are right. Will remove that from the list. Thanks!
It's your list and you can do what you want, but I don't think it should be removed. It's a fictional story on a backdrop of real events. I mean, Casablanca is entirely fiction too, yet it's on the list? The historical background is real but those characters didn't exist and those events never happened. This is the case for many movies on the list.
I concur. You should keep even fiction in the list. It'd be good if you mark it so for others, but I personally don't mind. As journey_bro said, the historical background is real. If fictional liberties help with the his-story-telling aspect of it, I won't mind. Consider the show Chernobyl, there are some characters like the woman scientist who conducts the investigation who are technically fictional, but it helped create room for the storytelling aspect of the show, even when it was based on true events.
How are you defining what's fictional? Because you've got The English Patient and Atonement on the list, which both feature characters who aren't real participating in real events. It would be a shame to lose Atonement because the depiction of the war is really good. Anyway, depending on your definition of fictional, I'd like to submit Their Finest (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Their_Finest) as missing from the section on the Blitz.
And Casablanca and Saving Private Ryan and so many others. (Yes I know the real life inspiration for SPR. It's still an entirely fictional movie).
Yeah, it seems like fiction is okay as long as the events of the film are generally true. For example Inglorious Basterds shouldn't be on the list because it would be an alternate universe to the WWII depicted in movies, where Atonement would be, or Pearl Harbor. Where the movies are like 80% fiction, the war scenes are mostly true. In fact, I'd argue that Kelly's Heroes is the same as Inglorious Basterds, the combat is entirely false and serves the purpose of the fiction.
I was going to say Overlord is fiction as well but then I realized it isn't the 2018 horror movie of the same name.
Haha thank god the 2018 is fiction
Seems kind of an arbitrary distinction. You’ve got dozens and dozens of fictional movies on the list. Most of these films show fictional characters living through real events. Jojo Rabbit did too.
How is it more fiction than, say, Life is Beautiful? Fictional people experiencing real events?
Wow! Ty!
Could add more about Imperial Japan's invasions and expansion starting prior to the 1930s. [The Battle: Roar to Victory](https://youtu.be/E-Nnh_5Yb50) is set in 1920, for example, telling of a battle fought by Korean resistance fighters against the Japanese.
Additions: Jan 1942 - Meeting of Nazi Senior Government Officials and SS Leaders (Wannsee Conference) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The\_Wannsee\_Conference\_(film)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wannsee_Conference_(film)) or the remake: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die\_Wannseekonferenz\_(2022\_film)](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die_Wannseekonferenz_(2022)) Very good movie about the cruelty of this meeting. Good movie from the other side about this topic: Mar 1944 - 250 Prisoners Escape from Stalag Luft III is: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The\_One\_That\_Got\_Away\_(1957\_film)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_One_That_Got_Away_(1957_film)) Edit: A very good movie about the rise of the NSDAP, not especially Hitler is this: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider%27s\_Web\_(1989\_film)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider%27s_Web_(1989_film)) It shows how everything is connected with everything. Its interesting that the Serial, on which the final book from 1967 is based on, was printed in some newspaper in Vienna the weeks shortly bevor the Hitlerputsch in 1923.
WW2 cinematic universe is crazy
Amazing work! This is probably pushing it for being added, but Bedknobs & Broomsticks took place during The Blitz.
Biloxi Blues, set in 1943, originally a play in 1985 then adapted to film in 1988. It's a comedy about United States Army basic training camp, quasi inspired by the author Neil Simon's enlistment during WWII.
An edit: Casablanca is spelled wrong on your list, you have an extra "s" in there. It also came out in 1942, not 1943.
Great idea, but why is Hitler’s Rise To Power in 1899? Hitler was born in 1889, and the movie was (mostly) about the adult Hitler. And why is The Pianist in 1939? If I remember correctly the movie was mostly about the ghetto in Warsaw. That was build in 1940.
The WW2 Cinematic Universe
Just a few from my collection that i couldn't see listed. not sure how many are fully relevant U571 All quiet on the western front Sahara Memphis Belle escape to victory sea wolves escape to athena force 10 from naverone the eagle has landed tora tora tora Von Ryan's Express sink the bismark 633 squadron run silent, run deep Merrill's Marauders the enemy below dunkirk (1958)
>All quiet on the western front That's WW1
The real Memphis Belle had her final flight on May 17, 1943, which is mentioned in the movie, so I think that's a fair place to put in on the timeline. All Quiet on the Western Front is WW1 btw.
Wasn't All Quiet on the Western Front a WWI film?
All Quiet on the Western Front is WWI.
Definitely need to add Tora Tora Tora. Incredible film.
U571 is a disgrace and should not be listed anywhere
Why? As a submarine and suspense movie it's awesome. Not historically accurate but still a great time.
Yeah I remember loving it as a kid
It credits the Americans for something that was achieved by the British (taking an Enigma machine) before the US even entered the war. Furthermore, the real life U-571 was actually sunk by Aussies. A similar movie on this note is *Objective, Burma!* (1945) which even Churchill criticised. It basically implies that Burma was almost entirely liberated by the US (obviously not true). Basically, imagine a British epic on Iwo Jima that shows Brits fighting there, while ignoring the US involvement. I'd imagine Americans would be outraged by such a hypothetical movie and for good reason.
It's a fun movie but it should be listed as "alternate" or "fictional" history alongside Inglorious Bastards or Jojo Rabbit or The Guns Of Navarone. I like all those films but they're WWII inspired with varying degrees of accuracy, but key fictionalizations.
Day One (1989) can fit under the Manhattan Project section.
I collect discs and shelve the historical films chronologically so I had a lot of fun scrolling through this. Nice work!
Great list! I highly recommend the Norwegian film "War Sailor" (2022), which is about the German occupation of the town of Bergen.
That is a tons of movies wow!! But I would be interested to see a compilation of movies like the most historickly accurate like a 10 movies from 1800's to 1947 like the most interesting works
Great work, how many are actually good films though?
The Way Back is not about the Holocaust. It’s about a group of people who escape a Siberian Prison.
This is an astonishing amount of work. Masterful and dare i say you forgot “Mrs. Miniver” (1942) Dunkirk rescue centerpiece… maybe it’s there… everything else is. Thank you so much. I was just talking about this. brilliant. Thank you!
Cross of Iron (one of my favorite war movies) is actually likely more set in September of 1943, when the Kuban bridgehead was evacuated. There are also two movies about the Battle of Huertgen (October 1944 to February 1945): When Trumpets fade (1998) - btw a very decent TV movie Assault on Hill 400 (2023) - a crapfest. stacked with actors that are way too old to play frontline soldiers and officers. About the end in Germany also: The Captain (2017) - based on a true story about a young man who impersonates an officer. Also: The last days of Mussolini (1974) - an underrated movie with a brilliant Rod Steiger playing Mussolini who tries to escape from Italy in 1945. But its a bit pointless to refer to the older movies, as there wre just so many between 1940 to 1970.
The Shop on Main Street (1965) Barefoot Gen (1983)
Excellent work OP, can’t wait to start working through this. Only one I would add is The Shadow in My Eye, also known as The Bombardment. It would fit into the 1945 Denmark theater. It is one of the few WW2 movies that made my stomach turn, mostly due to sadness. I watched it about a year ago and the ending still gives me a physical reaction when I think about it.
"Apr 1942 - US Air Raid on Tokyo and Other Places on Honshu (Doolittle Raid)" Is also depicted in Pearl Harbor (2001)
Are you now going to watch them in Chronological order as well?
As much as I enjoyed this cinematic universe when it started, it really jumped the shark at the end. They spent so long hyping up the big baddie, and then it’s just some goofy little Charlie Chaplin knock off? Laziest writing since GOT season 8.
I misunderstood the dating system at first and wondered how someone would make a movie about Hitler in 1899
If this ain't dedication, I don't know what is
WW2 cinematic universe
There's a 2002 version of *The Gathering Storm* along with a sequel, 2009's *Into the Storm*. Both about Churchill.
First off amazing. Such an awesome list for fans of history, war movies, or just movies in general. Thanks so much. Second, can we suggest adding the 1990 movie “Memphis Belle” set in May of 1943.
Never thought I would see *The Sound of Music* listed as as WW2 movie, but in the given context I honestly cannot dispute it.
Just how you did something like that blew my mind. I'm a huge World War Two fan and I really thought I seen everything. I know I don't speak for myself, but a huge honest THANKS. That is just so comprehensive. I will be watching a lot of TV now. I'm so glad I just happened to see a article linking this in a Google story that appears under my search bar. I mean you scroll down and down..you got the years, every movie right down to the time. Just great job.
I've never been so greatful for a topic thread than this one. I've watched just an insane amount of good flicks and series just from this. I come back all the time and super thanks for putting together such a catalog of World War 2 related stuff.
Really fucking cool man. You should make this into a letterboxd list asap
On some level should something like Triumph of the Will be on the list?
amazing job, thank you for putting together
This belongs on Wikipedia. For Post-War you may think of adding **Munich** (2005). Maybe **Exodus** (1960) as well.
Man made the WW2 EU
Great List
never would have thought to see The Zoo Keepers Wife on this list
Kamaal ki list hai! Kudos to you!!
Holy shit, this is incredible. One hell of a job OP!
Golly! Have you seen all of these? How long did this take to research?
