The Wermachtt sack a small Russian village, killing and raping then rounding everyone else up and burning them alive in a church.
What a thoroughly depressing film. The shooting of the cow was all too real.The Wermachtt sack a small Russian village, killing and raping then rounding everyone else up and burning them alive in a church.

The Battle of Waterloo from Sergey Bondarchuk's epic 1970 film Waterloo. No CGI, there are 15,000 soldiers (not extras, they were Soviet Army soldiers) on the field, plus a lot of horses too.
Just a very small part from the very long final battle. Marshal Ney's cavalry charge that failed so badly - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97dBfdNrf9A
think about how the managed to choreograph something like that.
Utterly amazing film, and historically very accurate. Charge of the Scots Greys another notable cavalry charge from the movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIDvyGifRE0Just a very small part from the very long final battle.

SPR's beach scene is always a stand out to me no matter how many times I see it, likewise the scene in Das Boot when the 'Tiefenmesser' goes off the dial. I don't think this has been mentioned yet, no blood and guts to seen but it just does it for me; speakers set to max B25 mass take off

Saving private Ryan, beach landing.
Another +1. An amazing bit of cinematography, all the more disturbing given how close it probably reflects reality. Everyone needs to sit through that scene at some point. Probably one of the most immersive bits of cinema I've sat through, and one that stays with you.wolfracesonic said:

Good call there sir
Tora! Tora! Tora! Actual stuntmen running away from actual hot flying metal as opposed to all this modern CGI nonsense. Obviously it wasn't planned and was essentially an outtake but was so spectacular they kept it in.

Probably one of the most immersive bits of cinema I've sat through, and one that stays with you.However, I'm also a huge fan of the first barracks scene in Full Metal Jacket. R Lee Emery is mesmerising as the drill sergeant in that film.

Accurate!! No no no no no.... It's Hollywood fantasy meets World Of Tanks nonsense.
Why? I remember reading about a Spitfire (maybe a Hurri) pilot attacking a tank for s
ts and giggles and scoring a ricochet hit that somehow penetrated the engine = dead tankBut that has nothing to do with why Fury is a load of rubbish.
Battle of Britain.
Lawrence Olivier playing Dowding, there is a very poignant scene (transcript below) the resignation in Olivier's voice and the way he delivers the lines gives you a real insight into how close we came or thought we were to losing the battle.
Air Chief Marshall Sir Hugh Dowding: [picks up green scrambler phone] Yes?
Minister: Ah, Dowding. Er. Look. Our people in Washington are having trouble with the American Press. It's about today's figures. German sources there are saying that our claims are wildly exaggerated.
Air Chief Marshall Sir Hugh Dowding: [listens, but says nothing]
Minister: Hello? Are you there Dowding?
Air Chief Marshall Sir Hugh Dowding: I'm here Minister.
Minister: Well I mean, can you verify the figures?
Air Chief Marshall Sir Hugh Dowding: [clears throat] I'm not very interested in propaganda. If we're right, they'll give up. If we are wrong, they'll be in London in a week.....[hangs up]
