did they really just compare a documentary to movies? lol
realtrickster _ It's a movie.
Hashtag EV but obviously it's most realistic... because is fckin real life. This is something a woman would do
realtrickster _ lol
documentaries are a genre of movie...
n3r0wolfe They're saying it was unfair to put a documentary on the list because it was going to be the most realistic either way
As a Vietnam War Vet, I thought Platoon was in many ways very realistic. The director, Oliver Stone was there in the infantry. I think it messed with his head but that's not all that unusual.
He sat down with Joe Rogan and talked in great detail about his experience. If you’re a fan, I’d highly recommend checking it out.
I’ve heard about that, isn’t there a scene where they are in the middle of combat, and a character has a full on freak out moment, but the freak out was real cos the guy was a vet and acting it out again just brought it all out?
I can’t begin to imagine what that feels like.
My dad was a Ranger in Nam and always said Platoon was very realistic
My grandpa was in Vietnam and made it a point to make me watch hamburger hill
What is your opinion about : We were soldiers
Watching Come and See is like experiencing a nightmare, and the worst part about that nightmare is that it actually happened. Truly the most authentic depiction of the horrors of war.
Yeah, that movie messed with my head big time...
I agree. The depiction of war in Come and See really nailed down the fact that War is hell. It shows how cruel the Germans were to the civilians in the soviet union. 628 villages in belarus alone got burned down in the war, alongside their inhabitants.
There are quite a few great Soviet war films. Plenty on TH-cam. Fate of a Man, The Preist, lots.
Couldn't agree more! This is one of those movies that will stay with you forever. I believe it was loosely based on the actions of the Dirlewanger Brigade in Byelorussia (Belarus).
And now your government supports Neonazis in Ukraine...
The Director of Come And See was actually a Soviet Partisan, Also the one of the SS Officers in the movie was actually a real SS Officer, and he also confirmed that everything that happened in the movie actually happened. The Director also claimed that the actor who played Fliora was close to needing to go to a Mental Asylum. the movie broke me, imo opinion Come And See is the most realistic and psychological war movie there is, and The Director stated "It doesn't even scratch the surface of the horror of war"
If the movie broke you, you must not have been put together that well. The movie was very gripping and heartbreaking but to have it break you? Wow
So a documentary, using actual real battle footage scenes, was the most realistic?
Go figure.
Who woulda thought
That isn't even a movie it's a history lesson cuz a civilian isn't going to be entertained by combat footage cuz they will shit their pants
It isn't meant for entertainment but for learning
@@Sandbirds docs are movies. Get over it.
sam wroblewski Yeah I know I just meant I don't think it should count since it is real when the others weren't.
I saw Saving Private Ryan the day it was released... yeah I’m that old... the theater was packed with Veterans of all ages; but specially WWII vets. When the movie ended there was this silence and no one, I mean NO ONE, moved. They, the vets, were in shocked and some sobbing. The lights came up and no one was moving, until they started to get up and move. That was, by far, the most emotional experience I’ve had in a movie theater.
I wonder what they thought of The Longest Day. It's a great movie, but pure Hollywood.
I mean its only 22 years old, I don't think it makes you that old lol
I'm old enough to have seen a sneak preview of Platoon in 1986 (was 17) and I also saw SPR early on and BOTH were jaw dropping. The Omaha Beach scene in Saving Private Ryan seemed brutally real, and Platoon was the first Vietnam movie where they didn't pull back and that theater was silent too. Peace Out.
I walked out shaking at the end of Pvt. Ryan. When Platoon was released my supervisor, a Vietnam combat vet, said he could only fault it for the unit patches that didn't match the AO. When my son was taken by a Baghdad firefight I no longer saw the attraction of war films.
I have battle fatigue after watching Rambo: First Blood. I also got trench foot from watching Star Wars.
“come and see” is one of the most horrific yet fantastic movies i have ever seen. it truly shows the brutality and terrifying aspects of war. it’s very moving. i definitely recommend watching it if you haven’t!
Agree. The problem with the US movies is that veterans don't tell what it was really like, or you'd hear about the atrocities so prevalent in Come and See.
Watch “Come and See” and you’ll never watch a war movie the same way again.
yep the revenge scene was the best
Another great German classic has to be Hitler's 'Downfall' superb acting.
My personal fav is "Come and See", no 4 on this list.
Its just above and beyond the rest for one very unique reason. The camera work is unique and original, dramatic use of live bombs and ammunition and actual animals actually being shot (the soviet union wasn't big on animal welfare at the time), and actors who lived so hard in their roles they struggled mentally after the shooting is part of it, but what truly sets it apart is its message.
The MC is a kid who romanticise war, to the dismay of his family who try to warn him over and over not to get recruited by the anti-German partisans. This childish romanticism gets a brutal awakening, to say the least. In the end of the movie, the MC is so traumatized he looks like an old man. He sees a picture of Hitler in the mud by the roadside, and starts shooting it, over and over. Historical clips from WW2 are played in reverse as he rechamber each round, until at last we see a picture of Hitler as a baby on his mother's lap.
At that moment, the capacity for his own cruelty dawns on the MC, and you can *SEE* it in his eyes.
*That* is why its the best war-movie ever made. And I can not see another war-movie without having that image in the back of my mind.
I can't remember who it was, but I heard the quote "'Come and See' makes every other war movie look like men playing dress-up."
@@robertlevine2827 Damn, that's a spicy way to put it 😅
The ending you described was pure genius as well as the whole movie..but I will never forget that scene along with the whole movie!
I don't know if you had the same thought as me: in this last scene, he arrives at the moment when H is a baby, and we all say to each other: could we have killed him baby to avoid all this? But it comes back to what the SS says shortly before: "all troubles arrives with kids". And I find it is genius
“top 10 most realistic war movies” -puts a documentary at number 1
It was filmed by the men on the ground, idiot...
@@RetroMMA That's his point, of course it is going to be #1 because it is reality not just realistic, since as you said it was filmed by men on the ground.
But it’s not a *movie*
@@theitalianstallion973 That's what I'm saying: it's reality filmed and undoubtedly edited to show a bias, right or wrong, that involves people who literally risked their lives -so this dick could "make a documentary" and lament the war.
What's fucked is that I saw it and it wasn't too bad, heck, it was good even. Yet his interview was telling of the angle he was trying to slip by us. Or rather, you the people, who've never been there...
I couldn't agree more mr. william. This film SHOULD NOT be number 1. It SHOULD NOT EVEN BE in the count down. it is a documentary and not a hollywood film.
I have seen all of these, and Come and See is on a totally different level. That movie forces the viewer to see the real darkness of humanity.
Come & See was horrific. However a great movie.
69 likes...by the way i prefer you to watch " Fury" and "Hacksaw Ridge" i liked band of brothers mostly... oh and "the pianist" also good one to watch
Do you want to see the darkness of humanity take a look at ,, Land Of Mine" or ,, The Killing Fields".
Thin Red Line was one of the most realistic views of war. It delved into the true feelings that people have while in combat. That it did not have the "hero worship" factor, was one of the main reasons it is not looked at favorably. We are stuck at having to believe that all war movies have to include some sort of hero for them to be acknowledged. And yes, I am a Vietnam veteran. "War does not ennoble men...it turns them into dogs." It has destroyed the soul of all the people I have known who were in war. My Grandfathers, WWI, my father and uncle, WWII and Korea (Uncle was killed in action in the battle for the Philippines in April of 1945) and myself and all my comrades I served with. None of us were ever right again. We will never save the world, or humanity with endless wars. Very sad, but true.
I agree. When I was a teenager I read 'Slaughterhouse 5' by Kurt Vonnegut at the recommendation of a veteran in my family. Thought it was a nonsensical and somewhat pointless book. After 16 years in the Army including combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan...I now remember it as being the most on-point about the nature of war as anything I have ever read or seen.
Thin Red Line is one of the least realistic war movies ever made. As a multi theater combat vet this movie is actually laughed at by actual vets, including myself. Retrospective analysis and philosophical debates dont happen on the front line, that's what you talk about 2 years after coming home, not on the line. Soldiers going awol mid campaign, in WW2? not a chance that would have happened and that soldier just getting a talking to by Sean Penn. I have no idea what you did in Vietnam, but seriously, this movie is the prime example of what DOESNT happen on the line. Those 'true feelings' are drowned out by the situation, and the thoughtfulness happens much later from the safety of the rear. This movie is an insult to what actually happens on the line, bud.
@@Heathcoatman So the philosophy is retrospective, but absolutely what is going on at the time. I watched a young sergeant and his men burn up inside an MRAP and heard him calling for help until the mic or radio melted, sure there wasn't much discussion at the time but the philosophical and psychological implications were known then and simply dealt with later. And going AWOL happened all the time, my dad did as a drafted Marine (he went to Thailand for R&R and stayed for weeks past his date) and got very little reprimand for it...because he was a private getting paid something like 90 dollars a month.
Don't mistake a movie representation and explanation of what is going on as it is not happening. The dear john, the refusal to fight, the stupid idiots dying stupid ways because they are playing with their weapons, the stupid officers, the smart ones being the wrong picks for the job. All of that is entirely too real.
My experiences were as doing route clearance during 2006-2007 Iraq and later with more specialized units in Afghanistan 2009-2010.
@@fortusvictus8297 Yeah, we'll just agree to disagree. I was in Desert Storm, Somalia and Bosnia, the last two with the 10th mountain. 3 Combat ribbons, two purple hearts, platoon sergeant, combat infantry. We all watched that movie and we were actually laughing. You go AWOL in the 10th mountain in a combat theater, you are friggin done. Leavenworth, dishonorable discharge likely, article 15 at the very least with extra duty. Terrible extra duty. Again, these philosophical discussions happen for sure, but I've never seen it in actual combat, adrenaline high, alert, philosophy nowhere close to the mind (or you're dead). Later back away from the action, that's when 'implications' start rearing their head. Never ever seen anything like that movie in actual combat. In the 10th Mountain, that movie is a comedy. Again, agree to disagree.
@@Heathcoatman You say that like you didn't know a 10th mountain guy didn't just go AWOL, but went full deserter with radio and crypto and everything and wanted to actively join the Taliban...the USA paid big bucks to get him back and let him go with a slap on the wrist.
Also, guys went AWOL all of the time, especially on transit in places like Germany, Ireland, and Qatar. You just don't hear about it because it's not the thing anyone wants magnified. I know of two who were in 3rd BCT 10th alone (to be fair they just wanted away from their trash 1SG and we wouldn't take them in on our compound, we later heard they got a vehicle from on of the terps and went towards Kabul looking for some action...found some CIA guys in a Russian nightclub who ratted them out)
Yes! Come and see is unlike anything I have ever seen, it is almost traumatizing to watch, and the directors amazing ability to capture the pure surreal trauma and hell of war and using the actors in a completely unique way having them stare directly into the camera as if they are able to look into your very eyes right through the TV and pull you in in such a way that it’s as if you could of really been present with the character living the very hell they are experiencing!
My Grandfather was a WWII veteran and he said Saving Private Ryan was the most realistic war movie he’s ever seen. He actually survived the Battle of Normandy and had to wear a leg brace for the rest of his life because of it.
I could never watch that movie again. Most war films I watch once and that's enough. I saw Saving Private Ryan at the downtown Sarasota movieplex on Main Street in Sarasota.....they have an ass-kicking sound system in that theater. I felt like the bullets were whizzing by my head for real. Great movie.
Trent Reznor says SPR belongs to Johnny Cash now.
@@jenniferlarson6426 You have PTSD from a movie? lol
@@marshall7313 The movie that really gave me PTSD was, "Come and See". That was violent...one of the most violent movies I've seen. If you're going to watch it, keep a vomit bag handy....you may need it. Some bad stuff in that movie.
@@jenniferlarson6426 ahaha I was just messin around... And yeah i'v seen that movie pretty grueling.
In an international spectrum, "Das Boot", 1981, directed by Wolfgang Petersen, should definitely be on this list. A realistic, anti-heroic movie depicting the true life and fears of a German U-boot crew in WW2.
I watched this as a kid and it gave me thalassophobia and submechanophobia.
As a submarine veteran, I can vouch for Das Boot. Most submarine movies are little more than comic books set to film. Das Boot captured much of the life, culture (including the dark humour) and hardships of being underway on patrol for months on end that still hold true to a degree for today's frontline sub crews.
@@MrCrankyNYC
Spoke to an Australian Submariner.
No. He didnt fight in WWII but he said Das Boot is THE closest movie to being even remotely close to capturing what war was really like.
Just tuned in. No Das Boot? Wow. Should be very near the top.
Terrific movie!
I remember seeing Saving Private Ryan at the cinema. the opening scene was numbing to watch. You felt exhausted by it as it affected you in a way you don't get from your TV screen.
The prelude to the final battle where everyone is in position, you can hear the armour approaching & see the ground shake. the anticipation in the cinema was unlike anything I've experienced as you felt the tank was going to come through the wall at any second. I've heard armour manoeuvring at night (on Salisbury Plain) and it can be quite unnerving and they got that sound design just right.
I'm so glad I saw that film for the first time at the cinema.
To this amazing list I would add “Das Boot” for a realistic portrayal of WW2 submarine warfare, from the German perspective.
You forgot Star Wars
if you haven’t watch “Come and see” do it. It’s a very dark, moving movie, that shows the brutality of the SS and the psychological impact war has on people. Fantastic movie.
i can agree
😂
@@Bloodklot what
That movie destroyed me.
People tend to forget that the division that did those crimes in come and see was a literal ex con divison and tend to generalize the whole military as having the same brutality
"The Pacific" series was also great. My FIL fought in the Battle of Pelieu. My family and I lived in Okinawa, a lot of history there. "Hacksaw Ridge" was pretty intense too.
'The Pacific' TV mini series was brilliant - an obvious cementing of the creative relationship forged between Stephen Speilberg and Tom Hanks during the making of 'Saving Private Ryan'.
R. Lee Ermery's character in Full Metal Jacket is an all-time great movie character. Not just war movies, movies period.
The is one large problem with *Saving Private Ryan.* The German Wehrmacht trooper are completely dehumanized. The soldiers are portrayed as robots, swindlers, and back stabbers, even going as far as implying that they would kill children. When an American Soldier gets hit it is realistic. When a German soldier gets hit they flop over and die with no blood and no sound.
Not to mention the German soldiers who faces you see are all older men with short hair, even though the average German soldier during the war was around 25 and had hair the rivaled British troopers in the competition for longest hair.
But its not like you dont see the Americans do bad things. After they take the beach they move inland, and a scene has two "German soldiers" surrender, only to be shot mercilessly by Americans. It turns out, however, that the Germans said something along the lines of "Dont shoot me....Im Czech.....I didnt kill anyone." That means they were captured and forced to go into service for the Wehrmacht, not actual Germans. And of course they try to kill the German MG guy even though he surrendered, but that does tie into what you said about backstabbers and such later on.
Nik Cruz It can be argued that those scenes promote war crimes. More to the point, however is the fact that when the Czechs were shot there was no blood, and no sounds of pain. They just kind of fell over.
Right before that, when the flamethrower was turned on the bunker, not only was the sound that came out not a human scream, but it was in fact that cry of a vulture. Pretty messed up stuff.
Remember the sniper scene? Definetly a lot of blood. Theres also loads of German blood flying everywhere in the last battle. And if shooting surrendering soldiers in a movie is promoting war crimes, than the movie is also promoting you to go back in time and be a soldier during WW2, and be a part of DDay. In fact, with that logic anything that the movie shows it is promoting.
And to the czechs, no there wouldnt be any blood or screams of agony. They were instantly killed with one clean shot, and the scene was over before any blood could start to ooze out of the corpse.The DDay scene depicts MG's spraying over anything they can hit, along with explosions and such, which wouldnt always cause clean kills, and of course is gonna lead to a lot of screaming and a lot of blood. Though the vulture part is weird, ill have to check it out.
And do remember how the Americans are our protagonists, you're watching their story. Its going to show you their agony prominently, as you are following them. It is not dehumanizing anybody by following a story of a single squad rather than the story of the battles in France in 1944.
Nik Cruz I think you are missing the point. Specifically the D-Day scene in particular was made to show the horrors of war. Yet only the Americans bleed. Not only that, but that only Americans scream, only Americans cry, only Americans feel pain.
I also think you don't quite understand how bullets and the cardiovascular system works either. Blood does not 'ooze' out of bullet wounds, it pours out. If a shot is powerful enough to kill, it is powerful enough to spray blood.
Even Rambo films feature the cookie cutter Communist bad guys with sprays of blood and screams. If a fluffy, explosion ridden Action film can at least show the bad guys screaming in pain, why can't *Saving Private Ryan?* I mean, Rambo's bad guys are considered even more evil in context of the movie after all.
The Sniper Scene was the only exception to German soldiers not being made of cardboard, but do you remember what else was going on in that scene? The Scharfschützen shoots and kills a wounded American, and it is also implied to be shooting Civilians, even children.
You dont seem to remember the sniper scene very well. He doesnt shoot an injured, american, he doesnt even aim for the young civilian girl or the soldier carrying her, he aims for the soldier the most out in the open. If anything it makes him seem more human, because many people have incorrectly assumed he was showing the soldier mercy because he didnt shoot him again once he was down.
And "If a shot is powerful enough to kill, it is powerful enough to spray blood" is incorrect. it depends on the bullet, what the soldier is wearing, and a bit more. For example, if you watch one of the videos of the Russian ambassador being killed on video recently, there is no blood spray even though the killed fired close to a full magazine in him. Since the ambassador was wearing a suit, and the gun's bullet was quite small, there was no spray. And remember blood spray is depicted as coming out the back. In the scene in SPR with the two Czech men, you are looking from the front. All you see are two smoking holes in their chest.
And you forget that this movie is in the American perspective. Its not going to show you the emotional turmoil the German soldiers are facing because of their losses, its not going to show you their perspective as they watch their friends die, because its not about them. It follows the American's story, so it will follow the obstacles they have to face.
"Come and See" is incredible
Come and See should be #1. German and SS soldiers that were actually there said after seeing Come and See that the movie is 100% to a T exactly spot on.
It is an extremely good film yes
I searched that movie and all i was able to find was some movie eith a russian kid speaking demonic and the entire film was just nonsense, random cuts to thinfs that dont even create a story, i was confused asf
@@gr8theszn425 th-cam.com/video/NJYOg4ORc1w/w-d-xo.html here you go... Not that hard to find, even with subtitles. Also, it completely makes sense. Its based on a real story and incidents. A bit of it may seem surreal, but that was the point - to feel what the depicted teenager would feel
@@gr8theszn425 no
I really like how you cut straight to the point and made a good short video
Wonderful comments. Was very surprised that Dad Boot wasn't #1. Absolutely amazed it wasn't even on the list!
No Hollywood movie can come even close to "Come and See"
Schindler list is easily better + Apocalypse now also
Star Wars was pretty realistic.

"Come and See" is not just the best "war movie" of all time, but one of the best films you will ever see - period.
And one no one of any level of compassion can sit through more than a few times in their life
@@bman6065 - Absolutely. I've managed to watch it twice, the second time with my wife as she had never seen it, and I don't know that either of us could manage it again. It shows Hollywood war movies for the pathetic and crude propaganda that they are. No one who watches "Come and See" walks away thinking of "glory," or "heroes," or imagines war to be anything other than the barbarity that it is.
I don't want to see any movie that "you will remember for your life". LOL. No Thanks. Hand me the remote, looking for {Netflix}.

@@rflatman1043
I'll check that out.. Thanks for the heads-up
“Come and see” is too good for this list.
If you haven’t watched “Come And See” yet trust me you need to watch it, you won’t be disappointed. I hate hyping up movies like that but I truly believe that this is the only movie i ever watched that deserves all the hype i love everything about it it’s truly a masterpiece and the translation part is very easy since they don’t really talk that much in the movie. It’s truly a piece of art the camera work, the way they told the story, the scenery, the acting, the message, the editing. ITS SUCH A GOOD MOVIE.
I can only watch it in little bits
Das Boot, submarine warfare.
+ 1. Marvelous picture, director's cut. Hahahah, Hollywood and patriotic shit. Not so many flags... Add American sniper, dog at war, horse at war (definitely, if they are from US or at least Britain)
Yes!
Number 1
I was dating a German woman in the US and we went to the movie when it opened in 1981. She said the American audience, including me, missed a bunch of background anti-war monologues buy the U-96 crew in the US screening. Great movie, awesome woman. And after all these years I still remember her name.
I'd forgotten about that one. I saw the English and German versions. Absolutely awesome movie. Along with Act of Valor ANDROID A Bridge Too Far.
'Das Boot' should be on this list.
Definitely, was expecting it in the top 5. Very well done. (I am a submariner myself)
Absolutely !!
Yes, though I believe that the movie that was released to the theaters was superior to the DVD I bought.
directors cut all the way
Absolutely agree that Das Boot should have been on this list.
To me Das Boot is one of the most realistic war movies and is probably my number 1 favorite. The claustrophobia, the sonar pings, rivet pops, and depth charge booms really add to the atmosphere.
My senior drill sergeant was at outpost restrepo. Sergeant first class Buno was his name, he even showed us this documentary at the very end of AIT, he was a great man and I'll never forget him.
Yeah yeah, shut up. You're probably just a child who wants attention. If you're gonna claim to be a soldier, at least show some fucking proof.
You forgot Letters from Iwo Jima and Flags of Our Fathers.
Yup, resonates that there are two sides to every story. Its not as clear cut as good vs evil
Good choices! Letters from Iwo Jima definitely deserves attention. All the old war movies showed the Japanese as anonymous bad guys whereas Letters gives us individuals we can care about; we get to see the battle from their point of view, and the action is gruesome and convincing.
sean m I loved flags of our fathers. Hacksaw ridge anyone?
Definitely!
sean m and D-Day or good morgigen Vietnam or the last 10 days of Hitler witch or the battle of verdun are duel in the atlankik Made with good Research and effort While saving privat James Ryan ist just crap bised the Start
My great uncle was in Vietnam and according to my mom, he said the only vietnam war movie he cared for was Platoon because he felt it was the most accurate.
Team Barnes for life!
0 fucks given
I like Platoon. But there's one issue I always asked myself whenever I watch the movie: Do soldiers abuse and hate each other that much, or was it just a Vietnam thing? In Band of Brothers, and say, Restrepo....it seems the longer a group of people fight together and the deeper they faced mutual sufferings, they bonded, understand and respected each other more... which is quite realistic. There will be personal differences... sure... but... OK... I think Platoon is more like a Morality Tale set in a war-time scenario, a philosophical battle between good and evil in every one of us. That's my take on the movie.
It is realistic and depicts the same split personality of the US nation we now see between the Trumpers and the Liberals. Both demonize the other, both overdo the differences between them. This film is both realistic and timeless as for the reason you mentioned. In WW II this split was best represented by Generals Bradley (the liberal) and Patton the Rightwinger who preferred the Nazis to the Soviets and like MacArthur (another right winger who wanted to be POTUS and nuke the biggest 50 Chinese cities) war mad and proudly racist (although MAc liked to see himself as the 'Great White father' to his Philippine 'children'.
Some of the scenes in Platoon was accurate but it had so much Bullshit in it that it was ruined! Anytime a movie shows Vietnam Combat Soldiers as Murderers, Rapist, Drug Attics ect....... You should know its Bullshit! There were instances but not enough to tarnish all Vietnam Combat Soldiers! Believe me, There was those who fought with Honor who did not do any of that Bullshit that was portrayed! And the REAL COMBAT SOLDIERS OF VIETNAM did not have a Hooch or Bunker to come back to and get high after their days work! LMAO
I was skeptical to see what movies were on this list. This dude started off with the hurt locker being ass. You’ve gained my respect and a like!
The great movie Letters from Iwo Jima, a 2006 American film, produced and directed by Clint Eastwood, cannot fail to be mentioned, which shows with great realism the harsh reality that Japanese soldiers experienced in their struggle to defend Japanese soil against the imminent invasion. Allied in 1944 in WWII.
I prefer movies that show both sides, were the Japanese the bad guys historically.. yes. Where the soldiers fighting bad people? Not the vast majority of them, most of them were conscripts or fighting for the same reason every other soldier was fighting on all sides. Most just wanted to go home, have a family and live in peace, they themselves were not evil and their stories deserve to be heard as everyones does. The whole faceless evil enemy trope is over played, no side is "Good or justified" in a war, every side does evil things from war crimes to crimes against humanity.
@@TwoPlusTwoEqualsFive32 Were the Japanese the "bad guys?" The West were colonizing all of Asia, and forced trade with Japan and land. After WW1 they then backhandedly stripped Japan of its Navy while they expanded power to take more of Asia. Then they blocked oil and minerals to Japan. The Japanese also did declare war, and FDR knew where they were 2 weeks before the attack.
'Come and see' is just Superior
Yes. I'm sure that everyone who has seen it will agree the movie itself is in a class of its own.
I was scared to death watching ‘ Das Boot ‘, fantastic war film.
Girlfriend's dad who was an officer on an American sub in WWII said it was very realistic. He said, on our boat, we didn't have to run forward to dive, but we had all the food stored all over the place, just like in the movie.
Yes, where you actually end up rooting for the Germans.
@@BradBrassman In the end we're all humans doing what we're told.
@@BradBrassman Rooting for SAILORS. They are a different bunch of guys with a hell of lot of respect and affection for their counterparts on the other side.
The scene in the 3.5 hour Directors Cut of Das Boot that is so tense to me was the 30 minute depth charge...WOW!!!
No movie can top Come and See, its truly based on real events and truly horrific to the core
This is a good representation of war movies to date. I was in the Marine Corps from 1996 - 2000. I haven’t seen Restrepo but I completely agree with Generation Kill being where it is. Although I never saw combat, it completely captures the spirit of the Corps. I showed it to my wife while we were still dating and pointed out every single accuracy in it, both good and not so good. Another couple of movies that deserve to be there are Saving Pvt Ryan and Full Metal Jacket. My unit went to see S.P.R. when it hit the theaters and it was so raw and completely what the Marine Corps trains to do that I was white knuckling the hand rails of the chair I was sitting in. There were liberties taken in the movie but it is a very accurate movie along with F.M.J. In the Boot Camp scene it is about the most accurate movie out there. The DI actually was a DI and drew from what was in his head. Another person said Platoon belonged in this list. I believe that as well. The movie Wind Talkers is another one that accurately represents the history of the Marine Corps in WWII. I became a member of the descendant unit of JASCO (Joint Assault Signal Co). I was assigned to 1st ANGLICO (Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Co). It has the same mission. The movie again is accurate. Of course there were liberties taken, it’s a Hollywood movie but almost everything about it is accurate. There are others and I could go on but this is a good representation for the general public to get a feel for the military. Great job!
My dad was a first day lander on Tarawa, 2nd Marines......he told me many of the war movies he watched were not even close to the mayhem, chaos and carnage of a real battle.....he said the landing in “ Saving Private Ryan “ was well done and realistic though and brought back many disturbing memories.....we cannot thank these brave men enough......
@Walrus: Did your father happen to see the two Clint Eastwood films about Iwo Jima - "Flags of Our Fathers" and "Letters from Iwo Jima"? They were both superb films, IMHO, but there's no better authority on that than someone who was there - meaning someone who did what your father did.
My uncle was also at Tarawa with the 2nd Marines. The Normandy landing scenes disturbed him so much that he had to leave the theater.
I thought that Pacific was realistic and like Band of Brothers depicted real soldiers who fought in the battles
@@billhiner7505 The Pacific was criticised by a USMC WW2 veteran by the name of Sterling Mace who actually served in the same rifle company as Eugene Sledge at Peleliu and Okinawa, as a rifleman no less (not a mortarman or machine gunner who go in after riflemen). He said he found the Peleliu landing exaggerated. Japanese resistance wasn't that fierce and the beach wasn't littered with bodies, as depicted. Also said the scene of Sledge crawling on the beach was dumb.
Interestingly, he admitted he didn't like the real life Snafu, he thought he was a piece of shit, but has never said why.
His biggest gripe with The Pacific is he felt Pacific Theatre veterans weren't well consulted during its production, and there were still many alive when it was in production in the late 00s, unlike Band of Brothers - which had the active involvement of the Easy Company veterans who were alive at the time.
I like The Pacific for what it's worth, but you know, while some parts are exaggerated, they omitted or changed interesting parts of Leckie's and Sledge's stories to go for cliche war movie crap. Leckie didn't fall in love with an Aussie girl, he drank and slept around in Melbourne and got up to all kinds of hi jinx, that bit of the book is more interesting than the Pacific episode. Crocodiles also ate the bodies of the dead in Guadalcanal, a grizzly detail that wasn't shown. As for Sledge, that Okniwan woman didn't die peacefully in his arms (or whatever that scene was), she was murdered by a Marine as I remember.
@@mariag2563 Thank you for your comment. I will have to confess that I am ignorant of the real conditions that they faced and I got taken up with the imagined scenes.
Missing Das Boot: not every battle is on land.
Totally agree
Yup
You got that right!
True. Also missing Star Wars as some battles also occurs in space.
what about red tails? arent they off a real story?
should definitely have ‘We were soldiers’ in the top ten… when i watched it the first time I thought it was a typical Hollywood exaggeration, but I just finished the book by the commanding officer who was leading the battle, then re-watched the movie and I am impressed with the level of detail.. and shocked thinking that all of it actually happened… Another great war movie ‘Hamburger hill’
I love your channel keep up the great stuff!!!
Das Boot was one of the best and most realistic.
You are absolutely correct.
I completely agree. This list seemed rather biased towards the infantryman's experience, overlooking many other combat veterans.
Saw that movie some weeks ago... What I found strange is that you don't see one single swastika the whole movie. Strange hum?...
@@ricardini9560 - They have the flag on the U-boat partially tangled so you can't see the Swastika on it. I'm sure that was deliberate because I believe the swastika is banned in Germany.
@@Marcfj Yes, I noticed that too. Didn't thought of the ban. Thanks for the clarification!
My father fought in World War Two and was in on the invasion at Normandy. He went in on the second day. I took him to see Saving private Ryan. He said that someone making that film had to have been there.
I remember seeing Come and See when I was a child. I didn't know the title, or where to find more info as it was years before I had internet etc! As soon as I was able to I found it. It's just stunning, It really played on my mind for a long time.
“Restrepo” isn’t realistic, it’s REAL. It’s a documentary, and therefore should not be on the list of Top 10 Most Realistic War Movies. I would place “Come and See” in its place for most realistic war movie, as it’s based on the screenwriters WWII experience.
Here are some other movies that belong on the list or deserve Honorable Mentions: “Platoon”, “We Were Soldiers”, “Das Boot”, “All Quiet on the Western Front”, “Letters from Iwo Jima”, and “The Thin Red Line”.
I would also like to add “Paths of Glory” as I believe Kubrick has made the only truly anti-war film ever. Watch it and despair.
"Come and see" is a horror film filling in as a war movie .
It is the best of both ...shocking .
Hard to believe it is 35 years old
yeah, the scene where he runs past the dead bodies is without doubt one of the most harrowing images in a movie I have ever seen................its a masterpiece
I honestly thought it was a more recent film because of how modern it looks and the fact that I wasn't aware of its existence until the beginning of this year. It seems to have gained a huge cult following since about 2-3 years ago, but before that I have a hard time finding anyone who talked about it.
Phil Michaels same, I’ve just watch it for the first time today and the visuals are amazing
It is accurate....and about 600 Belarus villages were destroyed THE SAME WAY by German army, army wich is so loved and adored by British historians..btw , Wermaht did it all over Eastern Europe, Greece etc...it was their MO
I have it in my drive. These comments is what I need to watch it.
"Come and See" by far the best
Watched for the first time a couple weeks ago. Wondered what was going on for a while but it all came together in the end. Spectacular film that will have you thinking for weeks after you watch
@@andrewrichards9607 where can i watch it tho?
@@kayzay4852 th-cam.com/video/UkkJZweYaLI/w-d-xo.html
It's in Russian of course, but there are English subtitles.
That movie hit me hard man.
@Robert Bowles i hate that u exist
Glad to see "Come and See" won. It ranks high on my favorite movies of all time, so I wasn't surprised it came in first of war movies.
2:34 this ending scene brought tears to my eyes, when i watched it for the first time. The sound track stills gives me chills
"Come and see" - this masterpiece should be top of the list. Name comes from "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" of New Testament of the Bible, the Book of Revelation. In Russian translation there are words "idi i smotri - come and see" in English version its just "Come". Most people who saw this film say they too scared to watch it again, that's how trauma-realistic it is. It is not about combat action, battles, heroes etc. It's not about army day to day life, waiting, training etc. It shows inhuman horror of Nazi crimes on Eastern front in WW2. Fear, hunger, mental collapse of ordinary village people. CAMERA WORK, VISUAL AUTHENTICITY and especially SOUND - you just become part of that "surreal" horror atmosphere and begin to comprehend how it was in reality back then. But just about, in reality it was way worse according to survivors and the authors.
Fun fact: Soviet Russia commited the triple of crimes commited by Nazis just in 44-47. Nazi crimes are nothing compared to the horrors caused by Russia. The USA also commits the same amount of crimes in their wars, but hey,lets focus on Nazi germany right?
it's USSR propaganda
@@Bloemendaal10 The Soviet Union committed crimes, yes, but no where close to Germany. The Germans killed over 15 million Soviet civilians (Russians, Belarusians, Ukrainians), not to mention 6 million Jews in the rest of Europe and over 9 million Poles. How many civilians did Germany lose? Up to 3 million civilians. Your argument is invalid.
@@unit9blakh640 Ever hear the Holodomor?
@@Bankable2790 Yes... ever hear about Khatyn?
Cannot understand why Das Boot or Downfall did not make the list
Because they are German movies and people don't watch German movies showing them as good people.
Das boot is the most realistic movie out there.
How about “Apocalypse Now”
Colin Kirkpatrick it’s pretty obvious this list isn’t based on naval warfare dude.
@@whoisjoelsmith the video title is "Top 10 Most Realistic War Movies According to Military Veterans"
Das Boot is a very accurate war movie. The title does not delineate which type of warfare
Surya prakash
But Stalingrad was on the list as well
Cross of Iron and the Big Red One should have had some recognition too. Can’t believe you left out the original Das Boot miniseries as well.
Come and See...a must watch!!! Phenomenal!
It's "Realistic War Movies"
Not "Real War Movies"
Yutaro Watanabe realistic means like it's real idiot
Pythagorean Theorem are you stupid?
@pythagorean Theorem...by 'realistic' he meant 'as close to the actual warfare experience that real veterans lived on the battlefield',not dramatizing,exaggerating, over-writing real historical events,etc...so i guess you`re right here :D
ain't no body gonna carry camera all day when war happen , unless WWIII because everything happen society will bring camera
Platoon. #1
I'm so happy that they included 'Come And See'.
They're all good on the list.. but Come And See is something special.
Nothing compares to the sheer horror of 'Idi i smotri' - the surrealism, is the horror of war...
Have you seen Ivan's Childhood?
J....no, i just watched the trailer..looks interesting...Good call
Same here. After watching it, I felt miserable all day, which I think is certainly one of the films goals. Powerful stuff.
after a tour in Iraq I was blown away by the choices in the cereal aisle. that was captured in the Hurt Locker very well.
I've heard "Come and see" described as deeply terrifying.
I'll have to see it.
DUH Restrepo, it was a documentary about actual combat...
On 2Wheels and one of my favorites. thank those souls.
Come and See is the darkest movie I have ever seen, by faaar. My father told me to watch it so I did. I don't want to see it again. But everybody should see it. You will remember it forever.
It's definitely one that you can only watch once. It was so realistic that I swear I smelled and sensed everything.
Try The Road. Not a war movie but intensely dark.
it's USSR propaganda
Victor you know I just watched it few minutes ago based on your advice, you fucked my day
@@pkl-n5g How short sighted and close minded you should be, to define a movie like "Come and see" simple "USSR propaganda"! Maybe you never saw a propaganda movie. Or perhaps are you a nazi or a war lover?
So, coming from a retired U.S.Army Infantryman, ex-police officer, ex-firefighter/EMT, ex-Government security contractor, and film production graduate;
The nuanced portrayal of intimate interactions amongst the members of a small-nit PLATOON (1986) - is, absolutely, beyond reproach.
I venture to say that with all of the advancements, that the next 200 years will bring, futuristic combatants will still be echoing our exact sentiments... 🪖 🎖️
Idi I smotri (Come and See) is one of the best ww2 eastern front movies ive watched. It captures the horrors of WW2 and the Eastern Front so well.
How did you not include Platoon? As a Vietnam Veteran, that movie reminded me of my time there.
Thank you for your service Sir. I am a Malaysian and I cannot thank you for the good life we have here. You and your buddies sacrifices saved us. Thank you very much on behalf of 30 million malaysians

Very kind of you to thank him!!!! The Vietnam Vets were treated terribly by their own country. I’m sure he appreciates your thanks.
@@damianketcham that is the least i can do. They fought a horrible war. Booby traps, enemies who hide within civilians...no world war 2 clarity etc. They endured so much and i feel blessed to hv a good life now. I hv to thank all WW2, Korean and Viernam vets

Well, you’re a wonderful person to do so and you have my utmost respect.
Thank you from the US!!!
@@damianketcham pleasure is all mine. be well n healthy
What about Das Boot? And what is the time limit on "pop culture"? 20 years?
Glad to see I wasn't the only one thinking that.
Justin --- Great point. One night someone posted the WHOLE FOUR HOURS of DAS BOOT and I happened upon it while surfing on TH-cam.com. I would not go to see a 4 hour movie but it's fine at home -- I watch in 2 hour nightly segments. Check it out th-cam.com/video/KqpmAdtn6d4/w-d-xo.html
It is NOT "pop culture" and hopefully, those war movies can teach us a lesson! Those of us who were safely at home and who went to bed at night without fear in our hearts, know the story of those awful wars is timeless! We, who were NOT exposed to war directly, need to know what it was about BESIDES just reading about it in history books. What you see with your eyes, hear with your ears, the sounds of war NEVER lose their impact on you if you think about those who were truly fighting and dying in those wars, in order to keep our country free, is never "pop" material!
Most of the personnel who fought in WWII are either dead or in their 90's now, and we cannot forget ANY of our soldiers who fought in that war or the subsequent ones.
There were journalists, medics and others who were at those wars besides those who fought them. That is how we are able to see what happened, and hear their stories.
From a submariners perspective it is the BEST movie of its kind. If you've never been in the "boats" then you can not understand. It is a whole life/culture of its own.
@@MJLeger-yj1ww My thoughts as well. I have PTSD but not from war. I want to learn about what our men and women went through, because for many of them the war never ended.
The Thin Red Line is phenomenal as well. Watched it not long after coming back from my tour, and literally ducked rounds during one of the scenes where they were hunkered as the rounds came straight at the camera.
Resterpo is one of my fav watches of what our boys had to go through to survive!! And that is coming from a vet of Desert Shield and Desert Storm. Their time downrange was way more intense and longer than my time. Bless them and hope they(and all the rest) are doing well!!!
Das Boot should be in this list..
Fantastic movie, but I doubt they asked submariners to help make their list.
why?
If they asked submariners then you'd have ended up with Down Periscope 🙂
Operation Petticoat 😏
I saw saving private ryan in the theatre when it first came out. the opening scene when the landing crafts were being decimated by machine gun fire silenced the viewers who were used to a life time of watered down hollywood BS. the shock on every face in the room was epic.
The raw helplessness of watching US soldiers getting mowed down hit everyone in the theaters who have never seen anything like that. Veterans who were there all shared about how it was just like being back there again... For better or worse.
was a silly charge, they should have used riot shields until they found better cover, or launched a massive smoke screen to cover the approach to the beach head.
Ken Havens please be a joke
mikeyjock now imagine what would have been going though the mind of the real ones who were there
Riot shields? Against mortars, artilery, machine guns that were able to shoot down aircraft? Where did you come from, Ken Havens? Counter Strike? If you made shield big enough to cover whole body and thick enough to stop MG 42 fire, nobody would be able to lift it.
I love the upbeat music over combat
Having been born in '48, I came of age during the Vietnam War era, and knew dozens of men(and a few women) that served there, in the various services. All who had seen the film, said *The Boys in Company C* was the most realistic Vietnam War film they had ever seen!
It would’ve been interesting to see a black-and-white movie such as All Quiet on the Western Front on the list.
Westfront 1918 is little known, but quite similar to AQOTWF
The original that is. The American remake with Ernest Borgnine you can forget.
The 1930 version is superb
very good that one
Try to find ,, DIE BRÜCKE"! Directed by Bernhard Wicki!
" All Quiet on the Western Front " & "Das Boot" is one of the Best War movies ever.
BATTLEGROUND (1949)
Don't forget
"Paths of Glory!"
The Sand Pebbles.
Tai Guk Gi is way overlooked.
Nice list. So many not on it. Not sure I could pick just 10
I learn the other day that my grandpa was in WW2 witch is crazy to me
He past away when my mom was 2
But the last year my mom been learning so much about her dad and it so cool
I just finished band of brothers for the 5th time or something. Already want to watch it again. One of the best series ever made in my opinion.
Indeed it is, The Pacific is also very good, it doesn't have the same depth of each charactesr as does BoB, but the detail of the war is great.
Love that series!
I agree. I watch it at least once a year, along with the Pacific. Can't wait for Masters of the Air!
I wish they made more series like band of brothers and the pacific. There are so many stories they could have brought to the screen!
@@jamess7264 I watched "The pacific" ages ago and I still remember bits of it, I wanted to watch it again but didn't remember the title, thanks a lot man
Where is "The Pacific" if you haven't seen it then do so. It captures the brutality of the war with Japan.
Tayvuhn how so? It was made in the same fashion as band of brothers and based on the books by Bob Lecky and Eugene Sledge.
Tyler Jourdan How the fuck do you know?
Zahid Khan know what?
"it captures the brutality of the war with Japan" - were you there?
Zahid Khan no. It is as described by those that were. Please stop talking. You clearly don't have anything of value to say.
While I can't relate to past wars, as I wasn't in WWII, I was in the desert. Out of the list here that I've watched I think Band of Brothers hit the hardest. Definitely has more raw emotion than any of the others for me, they REALLY nailed down the brotherhood unlike anything else I've seen.
Come and See is the most moving and brilliant on this list
Stalingrad...the most underrated war film. Incredibly powerful.
I read comments about movie "Come and see" and i watched too.. I SWEAR THAT I NEVER FEEL LIKE THAT WATCHING SOME MOVIE BEFORE... IT WAS SO DEEP .. MAGNIFICENT MOVIE REALLY
Horrifying and disturbing...it's an amazing film. The Russians do put out some really good stuff.
Right from the first scene till end, it is completely relentless in gory depiction of horrors of war.
great list!
People will say that none of these very iconic war movies like "Saving Private Ryan" or "Hurt Locker" actually glorify war. If you read reviews of them, professional film critics will praise them for their realism and for showing the brutality of war. And you agree with all that. And then you watch "Come and See" and you realize that every other war movie you've watched really did on some level glorify war. Sure, they showed horrific scenes and were physically gruesome. But there were moments of levity or a sense of adventure or of the mission - some important goal that justified all this violence that made it necessary - in the distant background. There is none of that in Come and See. It's not so much gruesome. It hits you on an emotional level that these other films just don't even come close to.
“Come and See” is a hell of a great film
Agreed,it's the best film i never want to see again.
Very raw.
@@ScottyDnB so true !!
@@ScottyDnB I saw it in 1985 when I was 16, and don't want to see it again. After movie was over people in the cinema stayed on their sits for at least a minute in silence.
Its so good. I'd put it up against grave of the Fireflys as the best film I'm never watching again.
Props to you for putting Stalingrad on the list, very underrated movie.
RNG Stalinium thats just for an effect...
@J.D. Agree. Stalingrad is an amazing and bleak movie.
"Hunde wollt ihr ewig leben?" is much more realistic as a stalingrad movie!
Alexander Tsaturov yeah, not that the Russians have a higher "killrate" under Stalin than the nazis had:-/
RNG, you're thinking of the 2013 Russian film "Stalingrad". This video and OP is talking about the 1993 film "Stalingrad".
I worked with a Vietnam vet back in the 80’s who went to see Hamburger Hill in the theater with his wife. He said during the movie his wife asked him “What are you doing, are you okay?” He didn’t realize it at the time but he was sinking lower and lower into the chair he was sitting in. He also said later that evening he was kind of short with his wife who we all knew he adored. I asked him what part of the movie was really getting to him? He said “It was that fucking mud, the rain, and watching those guys and bodies slide down that God damn hill” I never asked him about it again.
Spielberg was inspired by Come and See to create Saving Private Ryan. After seeing Come and See, I now understand what Spielberg felt.
Most realistic war movies?
1. 300 (duh!)
2. Aliens
3. Aliens vs Predators
4. Star Wars (the entire series ties for most realistic).
u clearly dont know what realistic means :D
lol haahaha u had me laughing mate its clear that that guy didnt get the joke!!!!hahahaa
Sky captain and the world of tomorrow obviously
You've got to be joking. Lord of the Rings had the most realistic battles and accurately portrayed the Orcs
+Aiaiaii z more like sarcastic
"Come And See" - from what I've read about this movie, it's the kind of movie you shouldn't watch if you don't want to be depressed or just traumatized a bit for a few days.
yea. you shouldn't start war if you don't want to be depressed or just traumatized a bit for a few years
It is a Belarussian classic and one of the best films I've ever seen. Do yourself a favor and watch it at least once.
Lol true.
Amazing movie that I'd rank equal or better to Schindler's List
its a fucking great movie you should watch it
Hamburger Hill was another Vietnam War film in the mid 80’s. Depicted the helplessness of 101st Airborne troops trying in vain to capture ground against well dug in PAVN forces, while being aware this had no obvious strategic value. The movie did not attempt at all to glorify the realities of many soldiers who were draftees. Underrated movie.
Number one Vietnam flick. "Forget this Vietcong shit. What you will encounter out there is hard-core NVA. This is Han. He came over on the Chu Hoi program, and he will be hunting your young asses in the Ashau Valley."
There can be no doubt that We Were Soldiers is number one. I was blown away by it's attention to detail. In the scene when Snake lands and gets out of the aircraft you can see in the background a soldier running up and throwing a bucket of water accross the floor of the aircraft. My daughter was with me in the theater and said I turned white.
A documentary is not a war movie.
I'm from Finland and I recommend you all to watch "Tuntematon Sotilas/The Unknown Soldier" from 2017 with English subtitles. It's a Finnish war movie about the continuation war we had with Russians between 1941-1944. I wouldn't say this if I thought it's a bad movie but it's brilliant.
Thank you for the recommendation. Americans know so little about that part of the war. I've read a lot about the first part of the war "the Winter War" but found very little about the rest. Probably because once the USSR was attacked by Germany and allied with the U.S. and Britain - the politics got complicated. Anyway, I will definitely watch this.
@@citizenghosttown Im german and my finnish friends pushed me to watch it and its extremely good, i put in my top 3
It is an excellent film and better than most at portraying relationships within a platoon . Anyone who’s been deployed can identify guys in the film to people in their own unit . The movie does all the small things about war, very well .
Thank you both for the recommendation.
Thanks for the recommendation. I work in tech across the Nordic countries and was surprised by how culturally different the Finns were to their counter parts.
Come And See is very realistic, and parts of most of those mentioned are excellent, but Tae Guk Gi is easily the greatest and most realistic war film ever made, in my humble opinion. There are so many great Korean films, but this one exceptional. . . If you can do sub-titles.
Now you can add the British film Kajaki to the list. True story of a patrol that ends up in a legacy minefield. Not much traditional action for the fan boys, but every veteran will recognise and understand the relationships between the squaddies.
What about star wars? 👻
Brock McClain IMAO....you guys clearly can't take a joke 😂😂😂
epic fail
So many idiots who can't take a joke....
Durrant Miller ikr xD
Brock McClain You may have been but that Semir Zulanovic guy by the way he worded his sentence you can tell he actually meant it xD
About the movie - Come and See -it was based on absolute true facts and book with the same name -which was not only memoirs, but also a collection of loose notes from different journals, notes of real people, some survived, most perished....if you think that movie is scary and hard to watch, book get you to the bone marrow. When movie was in a making -according to director and producers -some parts didn't include as it was too emotionally traumatic. Sadly people do not study about those huge wars,all bigotry, nationalism and "pearls of wisdom" of different government and top echelons.
Try a 1930s masterpiece called....All Quiet on the Western Front. WW1
Got all those on dvd. When I was young (in the 80s) we used hire on VHS How Sleep the Brave Nam film. Cheap budget film but in many ways the effects were pretty good and nothing like you would see on other war films. ✌🏻😎👍🏻
I'd never even heard of “Come and see”, but reading the majority of comments here, I really want to see it.
It's free on TH-cam.
