This list is of POST WW2 tank films only. I have plenty of lists featuring WW2 tank movies. Russian Tank WW2 Movies: th-cam.com/video/fil-fnW3kQI/w-d-xo.html WW2 Mock-Up Review: th-cam.com/video/C1pJkEAsmEM/w-d-xo.html
In the movie "The Beast" , they really made the terrain look like the Kandahar Plateau. There are some issues with the small arms and the modified DShk but, as a former tanker, I fully agree - one of the best tank movies ever made.
"The Beast of War" is one of those overlooked little masterpieces that hardly anybody has even heard of let alone seen. I was fortunate enough to catch it on cable back in the early 90's when they were running it. One of the best war films of the last 40 years or so.
I have it on DVD (yep) and to be honest it ranks up there for me with Saving Pvt Ryan in terms of "realistic portrayal of war"... it can be a bit obtuse at times for theatrical effect, but overall the movie works.
It was playing regularly on Greek tv back in the 90's. Great character dynamics and an original theme (especially for the time). I might be alittle biased by nostalgia but I think that it is the best tank movie to this day.
Nah. Modern Russian war films is just copypaste of Hollywood action with thick coat of sovietophobia and justification of nazis like . Try find soviet "Zhavoronok" with translation.
Not a tank specific movie, but I enjoyed the tank scenes in Kelly's Heroes. A lot of it looked pretty good, and the "special" ammunition was hilarious.
So good, it led to an anime called Girls und Panzer that does some brilliant referential love letter moments based on some of its scenes, including the aforementioned "special ammunition" one.
Red Dawn never gets credit for a decent M-1 Abrams mockup on the opposing side when they get up to the front lines. I've always loved it as it looks good but they made a point in not showing it too close. In "The Beast" they used liquid-filled heads for the main gun tank rounds, which is why the main guns go into full battery as they should as the liquid gives enough resistance against the blank charges (and also creates a massive amount of steam which looks like smoke). With expertly-timed ground charges, many still think they used live rounds in the opening of this movie.
The Beast is an excellent film and I particularly enjoy the sequence when they deal with the blind round (or ‘dud’ if you’re speaking American). However I’m not sure if the T55 is fitted with a flamethrower as standard. Apart from anything else, they’re tiny inside and there’s no room for the fuel!
Can't forget the fact that the mockup T-72 was so good that the CIA followed it as it was being transported and wondered where they got an actual T-72!
Danger Close: The Battle for Long Tan has a great scene when M113 armoured personal carriers of alpha company arrive to reinforce delta company of the 6th Royal Australian Regiment, after they are ambushed by a 2000 strong force of North Vietnam regulars and Viet Cong.
Near my hometown of El paso Texas is Indian cliffs ranch were the battle scenes of courage under fire were filmed. The mockups of tanks and helicopters are still on display there.
"August Eighth" is a good Russian flick featuring some good tank action, especially showing the T-72's auto loader in action. While it's not a war movie per se, it's set during the 2008 Russo-Georgian War.
I really appreciate that you always include movies from around the globe in your play lists. Not too many have probably ever heard of "Warriors". Excellent movie.
I saw it on a flight to Amsterdam, weirdly, in 2011. I agree that it’s a gem of a film. It’s hard to watch at points exactly because it’s so good. And the comparison to Das Boot is on point.
I’m glad you mentioned The Beast. Long ago I had seen part of it and had forgotten the name. Given current events I’ve been wanting to go back to topical media.
So the Israelis made a short series called "The Valley of Tears" about the Yom Kipur War (or The October War if you are an Arab). The series is frankly shit and misses the opportunity to do one of the most impressive tank battles of all time justice. But they did a scene in the beginning which shows remarkably well the way modern Israeli tank crews are drilled to fight (I was in one, so I know what I am talking about). The guy I talked to who actually did take part in the fighting as a loader told me that the accuracy of the tanks was highly exaggerated for the tanks of the time and more appropriate for modern tanks with fancy optics and aiming systems, but the basics are there. Check it out.
They definitely could have done more regarding the tank scenes and even the IAF. As both the IDF and IAF claimed seriously impressive victories in the air and on the ground during the Yom Kipur War. Only 1 or 2 Skyhawks in the whole series and not a single Mirage or Nesher.
Film recommendations are always welcome, thanks. There's an interesting tank scene in the Children of Men from 2006 where a tank is used to quash guerilla fighters. I think it demonstrates very well the meaning of "firepower". It's not a war movie though.
Apart from Battle of the Bulge and their versions of tanks and battles, which today are hilarious by being so wrong, the odd thing is you showed about the best war movie I've ever seen as a reference .. 'Das Boot', maybe that's worth having a look at under your microscope? Have a good day
Das Boot benefits from the author being a war correspondent that actually served on subs. Not as dramatic as the book makes it but still close enough. The person the Kaleu is based on survived the war and later commanded the nuclear driven frighter Otto Hahn. Oh and Buchheim wrote follow ups to Das Boot. Darker but interesting.
“Transformers-Revenge of the Fallen”. You can see two M1A2 Abrams tanks and an M2A3 Bradley; real ones; during the Battle of Egypt. Same with “War of the Worlds” and “Battle: Los Angeles”. Both films used actual USMC M1 Abrams from 2d Marine Tank Bn.
He helped the good Afghan guys there. At that time, the director did not know that after a little more than 20 years, the United States would give its citizens 60 years in prison even for financing Afghan militants.
I suppose it’s because it would be a budget and production nightmare but I’ve always held out hope we’d get a Cold War movie with massive tank battles with the story line from Red Storm Rising.
That's too bad it's only for post-WW2 'cos "White Tiger" / "Белый Тигр" is one of my faves (more of a thriller than a tank movie). Perhaps a WWII ep for those?
Another great one was the ending of the first episode of the series valley of tears, such a great action scene that captures the chaos and panic of armoured warfare
I served on a Bradley while in 4/7 Cav. Its an amazingly versatile AFV. I was also on uparmored m1151 humvees and later on Strykers, but the BFV was my favorite.
The Walking Dead tank was an M60A1, with the improved turret not found on the previous M60. I'm also not sure if M60s were ever called Pattons, but they do share the same lineage so lol
The M-60 is in fact the only post-war American tank without a nickname. Some only add the Patton distinction because it looks so similar to the Patton series, but it's just M-60.
The A-Team scene is made a little more amusing now that a modernised M8 is one of the designs being looked at for the MPF systems... and apparently just lost.
There is war footage from Syria where irregular forces sneak up on an active T72 and throw a grenade down the barrel, moments later the tank cooks off with flames venting out the hatches.
Man it's kinda sad that there's not much movies showing modern tanks and stuff like the M1A2 Abrams,Challenger 2,Leclerc,Leo 2A4-A6, and more also i can clearly see my man literally getting alot of comments of "Where's Fury ?" "Where's T-34 ?" xd
The one in Buffalo soldiers is notva Leopard 1A5. Welded/blocky turret makes it an A3 or A4. The cage on the front of the turret for the PzB 200 makes it a 1A3 variant. While some A3/A4 (ie the Danish) where upgraded to A5 fire control and optics the typical A5 is based on the cast turret version
@@JohnnyJohnsonEsq I have the benefit of having Leopard 1 commanders in the family and serving in the cold war german army. So I was around the Leo 1 variants quite a bit. West german 1A5 with cast turret base m.th-cam.com/video/YOmqZufLkYw/w-d-xo.html Besides the Danish 1A5 variant is IMHO the most beautiful variant m.th-cam.com/video/JZVjgwiBRAA/w-d-xo.html
To my knowledge The Beast of War is an Israeli production, not American. That is why it is such a superb movie. It was filmed in the Negev desert and the helicopter that shows up in the end is an Israeli Air Force Super Frelon, making for a MI-8.
Interesting list, I only knew three of those. :D And please pronounce "Das Boot" like "boat", it's closer to the original German word than the English word boot, haha
Loved the video! Would like to add 2 brief scenes from different movies, which to my knowledge, are the only ones where actual M1 Abrams tanks appear in movies. Not really tank movies at all, but still worth noting since real M1s are super rare in cinema to this day. 1st one is War of the Worlds (2005). The hill battle scene vs tripods features a USMC M1A1 Abrams tank rolling up the hill. 2nd one is in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009). Battle scene in Egypt features a US Army M1A2 Abrams.
Good selection and I’ve give a strong recommendation to “Valley Of Tears”, an Israeli miniseries picked up by HBO about the epic 1973 defense of the Golan Heights by outnumbered Israeli tank units.
The Beast of War could be one of the greatest tank movies of all time, but the American accents of the main cast, who are meant to be playing Russians, just completely takes you out of the movie
Idk, I’d rather have an American voice instead of a really bad Russian accent by an American. Just comes down to which one would be less annoying I guess lol
US army: this movie about the gulf war isn’t overly positive and patriotic, we won’t let you have our tanks UK army: this movie about the atrocities in Bosnia and mental trauma suffered by soldiers is very well researched, we’ll support this BBC production all the way!
THANK YOU for adding Pentagon Wars! Though it was an HBO exclusive movie, it provided for a funny look into the military-industrial complex and certainly made you think about the corners that had to be cut at the expense of those who use the tanks.
Very good list. I was surprised to see Damien Lewis in Warrior. I will have to check that out. How many alum from Band of Brothers appeared in The Walking Dead. We saw Joe Acevedo and I know Michael Cudlitz was also in the series. Have you ever done a video on vehicles used in movies for urban assault? Perhaps a UAV (Urban Assault Vehicle)? If not then it could be fun, especially because you would get to include Stripes EM-50 UAV.
Buffalo Soldier, the Joker, am I right? I also own Operation Red Sea, though they used the Hummer, they would have probably used their own, China's Dongfeng Mengshi, which looks very similar to the HMMWV. I have a 1/64 scale version of one. I also own Beaufort, an Israeli film, I can't recall if there where any tanks in that film, however, I wanted to mention it. May I ask, will you, or have you made a review of CBC's mini series about the Avro Arrow? I hope this video goes well for you this time. Take care, and all the best.
The reason in the film that they mostly did not use any Chinese equipment, Is they don't want to be known that the ACTUAL Chinese army is there involved.
OK so once again I am mentioning the Saints and Soldiers series. Specifically, Airborne creed and The Void. Airborne creed has a great final battle against a very nice Panzer III mock up and in The Void, they use two restored M18 Hellcats against the same Panzer III mock-up though they film it as if there were 3 tanks. The mock-up is really well done compared to many I've seen and the Hellcats steal the show with their speed and firepower. Good movies all around.
I once saw a picture in a magazine of a car - the left half had been crushed by a tank lengthwise, the right half looked okay. I think it was in a German village somewhere after an exercise. So shit does happen.
in the movie 'The Interview', Kim Jong Un (Randall Park) told David Skylark (James Franco) that the T55 was given to his grand father or father by Stalin himself. The T55 was first produced in 1958, but Stalin died in 1953. That scene made no sense at all
Thanks very much for this video. Folks who make no effort for historical accuracy don’t have any business making historical movies. If you don’t have the budget, then don’t make it.
US Military: "We won't give you tanks to use in your movie, its not patriotic enough." Me, who by that point in film making would have either purchased or found old M1 or M1A1s in a Armored graveyard in the US: *OBSERVE*
Lazerpig on TH-cam covered the pentagon wars and shed some extremely interesting light on the satire in it directed toward a certain military revisionist nitwit.

When they crushed that dude in the beginning confirmed my phobia of being crushed by a tank. lol
Ah the ole roll down a grenade down the barrel tactic lol
Remember that was the superior tactic when playing around as kids 😂
Never fails!
We could use sticky bombs....
I love watching rankings like this cause the give plenty of movies to watch
Hopefully some in there you haven't seen yet :)

@@JaredKaiser24i'd imagine the end of that would be jarring
"Tankers" And "T-34" Also amazing
T-34 is by far the best tank movie i've ever seen. But i do like the tank scenes from the series 'band of brothers' too, yet there's not many of them.
@@GielL96 ... there are* not many of them. And T-34 is good action entertainment, but totally silly from beginning to end.

T34 is awesome and free on TH-cam
Not a tank specific movie, but I enjoyed the tank scenes in Kelly's Heroes. A lot of it looked pretty good, and the "special" ammunition was hilarious.
Brilliant movie this just a video made featuring post ww2 films.
Oh yea. I was watching so many of your movie list videos I forgot to really check. Thanks!
I like at the end when they buy a tiger tank off the Germans and its a piece of junk..always with the negative waves.
So good, it led to an anime called Girls und Panzer that does some brilliant referential love letter moments based on some of its scenes, including the aforementioned "special ammunition" one.

HOLY SHIT!!! Captain Winters fought in Bosnia too? (5:27) dude hasn’t aged since WW2!
Joe Toy was in the Walking Dead operating a M60 Patton Tank. He got his leg blown off in Band of Brothers in the episode in the Arddens forest.
You forgot the laugh movie "Tank" (1984) with James Garner! Admittedly a WW2 Sherman but a postwar story in 1984. Nice summary Johnny!
Thanks Rolf and thanks for adding to the list 🙏
That was a great tank movie !
@@JohnnyJohnsonEsq i came to mention exactly THAT movie 😂

Totally forgot Children of Men! Good movie!
not to mention that whole scene was 1 continuous shot... really the first time i totally felt the terror of a tank in the field

Das Boot is one of the best war movies hands down. Even though i always mispronounce it lol
Das Boot benefits from the author being a war correspondent that actually served on subs. Not as dramatic as the book makes it but still close enough. The person the Kaleu is based on survived the war and later commanded the nuclear driven frighter Otto Hahn.
Oh and Buchheim wrote follow ups to Das Boot. Darker but interesting.
“Transformers-Revenge of the Fallen”.
You can see two M1A2 Abrams tanks and an M2A3 Bradley; real ones; during the Battle of Egypt.
Same with “War of the Worlds” and “Battle: Los Angeles”. Both films used actual USMC M1 Abrams from 2d Marine Tank Bn.
Don't forget the M270s
in the army the tankers call people crunchies
yes crunchies
Bit disconcerting but appropriate
Excellent job, Johnny! I was afraid you were gonna forget The Beast in that lineup!
That's the best one on the list 😁
I’m surprised you didn’t show Rambo III where Stallone is able to drive a T72 and operate the main armament at the same time!
He helped the good Afghan guys there. At that time, the director did not know that after a little more than 20 years, the United States would give its citizens 60 years in prison even for financing Afghan militants.

I just wand a good Kursk 3 part movie lol
@@JohnnyJohnsonEsq I mean I wouldn’t say no to that either 😂
Red Storm Rising would make an awesome mini series
@@mikebishop931 something big budget with HBO or Amazon would be ideal. 8-10 episodes. Heck Amazon is already doing the Jack Ryan stuff.
Team Yankee might be an easier to do alternative from the same timeline. Less nations involved.
An honorable mention is the battle scenes from Valley of Tears set in the Yom Kippur war of 1973.
I very much regret not having added that one 🙏
@@JohnnyJohnsonEsq it's fine, that I was thinking of it.
Key Note: Pentagon Wars is complete satire and anything regarding to the Bradley is not as applicable as one would think
people nowadays associate the word "satire" with just "factually incorrect" and it's not what it means
That's too bad it's only for post-WW2 'cos "White Tiger" / "Белый Тигр" is one of my faves (more of a thriller than a tank movie). Perhaps a WWII ep for those?
If you are looking for a series tank, I recommend "vally of tears".
It's an Israeli show in 1973 yom kipur war.
you forgot about the series: "Valley Of Tears" about the 1973 judgment day war (yom kipur war) I watched this series and i had goosebumps
Great mention! You are absolute right. I'll have to work that into a future video.
Good list, Johnny.
Buffalo Soldiers is a wild ride.
Big time

The next year (2019) - T-34 came out, probably one of the best tank/war subtitled movies I've seen
There are no modern day tanks but it really cool its called T 34
A M18 Hellcat tank destroyer and a Leopard 1 are featured in the TV Series Waco about the Waco Siege.
The A-Team scene is made a little more amusing now that a modernised M8 is one of the designs being looked at for the MPF systems... and apparently just lost.
Reign of fire. To this day, and I was a tanker in the army, no one can convince me what tank that is!!!! We long debated it
Oh no we squashed a beetle
There is war footage from Syria where irregular forces sneak up on an active T72 and throw a grenade down the barrel, moments later the tank cooks off with flames venting out the hatches.

I keep explaining to everyone it's a post WW2 tank video lol
Red Dawn also had an impressive Mi-24 Hind mockup in the Super Puma
The one in Buffalo soldiers is notva Leopard 1A5. Welded/blocky turret makes it an A3 or A4. The cage on the front of the turret for the PzB 200 makes it a 1A3 variant. While some A3/A4 (ie the Danish) where upgraded to A5 fire control and optics the typical A5 is based on the cast turret version
thanks for adding this! I'm all for being proven wrong so I'll double check my sources :)

Good call out. Just a poor habit on my part.
Loved the video! Would like to add 2 brief scenes from different movies, which to my knowledge, are the only ones where actual M1 Abrams tanks appear in movies. Not really tank movies at all, but still worth noting since real M1s are super rare in cinema to this day. 1st one is War of the Worlds (2005). The hill battle scene vs tripods features a USMC M1A1 Abrams tank rolling up the hill. 2nd one is in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009). Battle scene in Egypt features a US Army M1A2 Abrams.
Good selection and I’ve give a strong recommendation to “Valley Of Tears”, an Israeli miniseries picked up by HBO about the epic 1973 defense of the Golan Heights by outnumbered Israeli tank units.

Ya besides that it's very excellent.
Well the American accent has been kinda fitting for the last 20 years, just switch Russians for Americans :)
Idk, I’d rather have an American voice instead of a really bad Russian accent by an American. Just comes down to which one would be less annoying I guess lol

It's not modern enough to be included on the list, but the film - series "Liberation" is absolutely beautiful.
My favorite film - The Pentagon Wars. I like it!
Great list but you missed out the awesome mock up Tiger of Dead Snow 2. The best tank carnage this side of 2000.

I also own Beaufort, an Israeli film, I can't recall if there where any tanks in that film, however, I wanted to mention it.
May I ask, will you, or have you made a review of CBC's mini series about the Avro Arrow?
I hope this video goes well for you this time.
Take care, and all the best.
Man Avro Arrow is a brilliant idea! Adding this to the list
The reason in the film that they mostly did not use any Chinese equipment, Is they don't want to be known that the ACTUAL Chinese army is there involved.
I just don't get it I searched far and wide for war movies but Johnnys videos still give me new movies to watch
I'll keep hitting ya with fresh movies for awhile yet Lee
Also a good tank scene in Steven Seagal's 2005 movie titled "Submerged". Seagal vs a tank in a small tunnel.
OK so once again I am mentioning the Saints and Soldiers series. Specifically, Airborne creed and The Void. Airborne creed has a great final battle against a very nice Panzer III mock up and in The Void, they use two restored M18 Hellcats against the same Panzer III mock-up though they film it as if there were 3 tanks. The mock-up is really well done compared to many I've seen and the Hellcats steal the show with their speed and firepower. Good movies all around.
I can't believe I'm old 🧓 it's a trip, full metal jacket is like 35 years old now, total trip
Are you shitting me ??" Shadow in the clouds " was one gaddam awesome movie!
I once saw a picture in a magazine of a car - the left half had been crushed by a tank lengthwise, the right half looked okay. I think it was in a German village somewhere after an exercise. So shit does happen.
don't forget fot "girls und panzer" 😁
in the movie 'The Interview', Kim Jong Un (Randall Park) told David Skylark (James Franco) that the T55 was given to his grand father or father by Stalin himself. The T55 was first produced in 1958, but Stalin died in 1953. That scene made no sense at all
Goldeneye is one classic movie, could be the best bond movie Ever
We Forgot Tank Girl. I want to watch it.
When the Soviet tank commander poisoned the well in, "The Beast", stays me today.
I would love to see you do a full breakdown of warriors. Bleak, depressing but accurate British cinema.
Absolutely. Fantastic mini-series. I have been meaning to do so.
Thanks very much for this video. Folks who make no effort for historical accuracy don’t have any business making historical movies. If you don’t have the budget, then don’t make it.
Is the grey car at 2:53 coming from the left a Renault Fuego?
I am missing Waltz with Bashir. Great Tank Movie.
From a purely action and dumb fun point of view, Girls und Panzer has some good tank scenes
I'd forgotten all about buffalo soldiers, gonna go watch that on 123 movies for free 😂
awwww yessss! more tank content!! woohoo!
I got you bro
There is one hell of a tank movie tank girl
White Tiger and, of course, Fury!
I forgot the title, but the movie about high tech tank vs us army tank , oh the high tech tank can go camouflage
Some of the t-34 movie scenes are quite awsome
US Military: "We won't give you tanks to use in your movie, its not patriotic enough."
Me, who by that point in film making would have either purchased or found old M1 or M1A1s in a Armored graveyard in the US: *OBSERVE*
It's a movie and it has tanks in it, so i guess it qualifies.... Tank girl with Lori Petty
Another great video. One option, name it Top 13 Modern AFV Movie Scenes - Commented, and you are good to go.
Lazerpig on TH-cam covered the pentagon wars and shed some extremely interesting light on the satire in it directed toward a certain military revisionist nitwit.
T34 - TH-cam move
Would recommend
Theres a very good tank scene from the 2016 film shin godzilla where a large group of type 10 tanks attempt to stop godzilla.
Nice man
My like was the one that pushed this to 1k...
I HAVE THE POWERR!!!!
