Your mostly right, I forgot the subject of this thread. But, A Midnight Clear is definitely set in World War ll. And is an excellent film.

I’ve GOT to mention “Wings of Eagles” starring John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara. It ENDS during WW II, anyway.

Yes, but the title is for World War 2 movies. Not all wars.

Sergeant York was about WW I, Tommy. Not WW II.

We Were Soldiers, Blackhawk Down and Porkchop Hill were NOT WW II films, filmgoer.

“The War Lover” and “Hell Is For Heroes”. Two Steve McQueen flicks…both excellent.

I loved “Battleground”. The scene where the troops meet up with “fellow Americans”, only to find out they’re Germans was great. Fine cast of some of Hollywood’s legends, a standout film.

100% agree re ‘Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison”
25 yrs ago, when VCRs were new, my son (9yrs at that time) called me at work and asked ‘What’s Mr. Roberts about.’ I said it’s about the guys on a Navy ship in WWII. He call a couple of hrs later and said, “You didn’tell me he was gonna die!!!” Still one of his fav films.

WHAT? NO Gregory Peck in “Twelve O’ Clock High?” NO Clark Gable in “Command Decision?”

No list like this would be complete without the star studded WWII classic, In Harms Way, with John Wayne and a slew of other great period stars.

Forget ‘Guns of Navarone’! Where’s Greatest Actor of All Time, Harrison Ford in ‘Force 10′? That’s what got me into war movies, and Harrison was only half of it!

Because that was a tv Mini-Series on HBO and not a movie.
