Got a nice box of japanese movies about the War in the Pacific :)
It includes:
Hawai Middouei Daikaikusen: Taiheiyo No Arashi (1960)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055502/

Taiheiyo No Tsubasa (1963)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0142892/

Gekido No Showashi: Okinawa Kessen (1971)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067523/

Zerosen moyu (1984)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088449/

And it did cost less than 10€ :D

Next i will get Ôzora no samurai http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074370/ featuring an episode of Japanese Ace Saburo Sakai!

So enough boast.
I recommend to look for at least the first three movies as they are classics of this genre :)
If you know of otheres please share it with us :)

That's cool! I remember when I was child, I went alone to the cinema to watch the movie about Saburo Sakao and I was really impressed!

Do they have English subtitles, please?

[Kaiser]

All these movies are in german. So i think there exist english versions too.

The one with Kirk Douglas? Which channel?

[BobP]

Guys check the Belle & Blade. He has many war movies for all eras.

Has anyone watched a movie called 'Fortress' about a B-17?

[BobP]

Have not heard or seen that movie. I have one called AirForce about a B-17 at the beginning of the war flying to Pearl Harbor during the attack. Good movie

Has anyone watched a movie called 'Fortress' about a B-17?


Oh yes. Best to avoid it. CGI worse than in computergames. P40 outclimbing Bf109s, lame story, etc.

Thanks for the info on that. I have to check out the Belle & Blade at Historicon. I have seen some great movies that he has. One is Kamikaze which is prettty bloody.
