War Movies You Would Like To See Made

[SharpsDressedMan]

I'll go with a less campy, gritty, realistic remake of "the Dirty Dozen". Something really believable with a slight rewrite, with well scripted characters, and realistic weapons and gunfights. Maybe have more things go wrong (like real life operations do), and have the Germans be a bit more cunning and dangerous (like they were). Now THAT would be a war movie! Maybe shoot it with less known actors so that there is no dues paid for big names or egos.

I Can't remember the title for the life of me but there is a good movie about the war in Iraq. It was very realistic and honestly i loved it, still searching for the title though. Jarhead was fairly accurate too, set in the gulf war but still good. I would like to see a movie realistically depict Simo Hoyha's actions in the winter war, as well as a realistic Korean war movie.

I'd like to see, "The 2nd American Civil War"...

There was a book by a guy named Robert J. Lamphere "The Secret War"

Honduras and Nicaragua iirc

the book spoke of an American mans experiences helping fight a guerrilla war in central america. I believe it was fiction but it was a great read.

Something on the Bay Of Pigs debacle would interest me.

 

[Devilfrog]

a movie about the exploits of Carlos Hathcock

+1 That would be a good movie!

I would like to see an accurate movie about the Marine battle at Fallujah. I have seen the Military channel special on it along with the special on the Marine Sniper and think that a really great movie could be made about it.

resistance in WWII.

"Defiance" with Daniel Craig and Liev Schreiber.

I'll go with a less campy, gritty, realistic remake of "the Dirty Dozen".

A movie of the sequel, which was set in French Indo-China just before the end of the war. The book was really good.

the real story of US Philliphino gurrellas

Some time back I found the real book "American Gurrella in thePphilipines"

the movie sucked

Wish they would actually make a movie from the book which IIRC
was written by Ramesy

 

[BLACKHAWKNJ]

As long as movies are historically accurate I am happy. I have always considered The Longest Day as the model for a war movie- about 90% historically
accurate with only minimal hoking up, portraying real people, places and actions.

 

[F-Body Demon]

Al Nasiriyah

I would like to see an accurate movie about the Marine battle at Fallujah.

The Marines were not the only ones to fight in Fallujah. I don't know who else did, but I can guarantee you that elements of 3rd BDE 1ID fought there too. Just sayin.

This isn't really all that on-topic for THR.
