I liked the movie, but don't place it up there with the best because it irritates me to no ends when I see it and the German tanks are actually a US made M48 Patton. I appreciate more recent movies because they actually strive to have authenticity in the vehicles used. Like an above post, Fury did it right. I dug that movie.

best war movie: Westerns ... range and indian wars. fantasized, music indiginous of the West and time period , musicals , stoic , ...

i don't think you'll find many war movies that are musicals , fantasized , and entertaining to watch that revolve around (war / survival in the field)

maybe the three musketeers was that a hit movie ?
