- DirectorStanley KramerStarsSpencer TracyBurt LancasterRichard WidmarkIn 1948, an American court in occupied Germany tries four Nazis judged for war crimes.It is based on a trial of German judges by an American tribunal in 1948.
It happens to be the most perfect drama on war I have ever seen. The movie is very deep and sensitive. Watching it is a delight to the tenderness of the human being living inside each one of us. - DirectorJon AvnetStarsLeelee SobieskiHank AzariaDavid SchwimmerJews rise up in the Warsaw Ghetto against the Nazis in 1943.This movie is about the Jewish resistance in the Warsaw ghetto between 1943 and 1945. This is a well-shot movie and goes a long way in depicting the settings of the Warsaw ghetto very realistically. I find this movie to be a very realistic depiction of a very dark time.

However, Hitler wants the city destroyed if it looks like the Allies will take it.This movie summarizes the events leading upto the liberation of Paris by the American army on 26 August, 1945. The movie has been dramatized but the essentials of the incident are well depicted.
- StarsJoseph BottomsTovah FeldshuhRosemary HarrisThe saga of a Jewish family's struggle to survive the horror of Nazi Germany's systematic marginalization and extermination of their community.It is not a movie. It is a mini TV series. I have seen it and I find it to be worth watching series. It depicts the personal lives of a family broken apart due to the tumultuous Holocaust. It depicts the changes in the personal and social character of the people of those times and documents them very very well...

There is not much of a great movie therein, but surely the movie reflects the sweats perspired by the crew. - DirectorAlfonso BresciaStarsGuy MadisonPeter Lee LawrenceErika BlancThe movie is set during World War II in the days just prior to the D-Day invasion. A special parachute unit is sent to destroy a German flame thrower installation on Omaha Beach.A fictional story based on D-Day in Normandy
- DirectorMikheil ChiaureliStarsMikheil GelovaniBoris AndreyevVladimir SavelevA years-long struggle of the Soviet people against the German war machine is shown from the point of view of Stalin and from the point of view of an ordinary soldier and his beloved girl.Perhaps one of the most biased movies ever made. I absolutely do not like this movie. If I have the chance to correct myself, I would readily change my perception to hatred towards this movie.
The movie is largely Pro-Soviet and strongly Anti-German. Hitler and Germans have been depicted as idiots (which they were not !!!) and the Soviets have been highly publicized and decorated (not worth it !!!). I watched this movie ( about 3 hours long) with the single thought in my mind, that how come the director was not ashamed at this extent of bias. - DirectorJean-Jacques AnnaudStarsJude LawEd HarrisJoseph FiennesA Russian and a German sniper play a game of cat-and-mouse during the Battle of Stalingrad.Set in Stalingrad, the movie is centered around the true tale of Vasilli , the legendary Russian sniper of World War II , when he met a worthy adversary in the form of an expert German sniper.
- DirectorStephen TrombleyThis movie outlines the nuremberg trials. Through this movie, the realities of the Nazi regime are highlighted from a humane perspective rooted in rationality. Overall, it is worth watching at least once...

This movie is a good example of the realistic settings of naval warfare coupled with personal feelings.
