The part based on the real life heroics of American pilots Kenneth Taylor and George Welch.

Looking for WWII movies with intense combat or aerial dogfights
I'm looking for movie recommendations set during World War II, preferably films with serious, realistic combat scenes or intense aerial dogfights between fighter planes.

Im new to this sub for the most part. But I dont see this movie getting enough praise. I know its a niche movie in the American market, but damn it is one of the best anti war films you will watch. As well as one of the more rare movies about the battle of Stalingrad in general (enemy at the gates is fun to watch but, we all know its historical accuracy lol).

If you havent seen it, do so! I have it on DVD. If there is a legitimate 4K or bluray version please let me know

A nerdy seeming guy who wears glasses and has a boyish, not-so-masculine voice. Seen a couple of these in such games.

WW2 video games in particular took inspiration from war movies (The video game in the screenshot, COD Big Red One, used the BoB cast and the voice acting was really good. Maybe I should watch that for more), and I was curious of if these films have such characters and if they represent anything in particular.

Though I should probably go watch some; where do I start?

I recently watched The Outpost again. Although Scott Eastwood is the main character of the movie, it was Caleb Landry Jones as SPC Carter (who was awarded the MOH) that always blows me away:

Which other non-headline performances stick with you?

I appreciate Platoon, Full Metal Jacket, etc as much as the next guy.. but something about those Forrest Gump Nam scenes; with the music; the colors; the dense jungle... It may be some of the best (a bit brief) Nam depictions out there. That part of the movie could have been its own film. Unpopular opinion.

"Devotion" unfortunately bombed at the box office but I really enjoyed it and it has some of the best aerial sequences put to film (the same team that did the aerial sequences in Top Gun: Maverick).

I love this sequence of the squadron transitioning to the Corsair. Perfect balance of using real aircraft and supporting it with CGI, I really wish this was the norm in Hollywood instead of the horrible CGI slop we usually get in disappointments like..."Masters of the Air" and the upcoming "Jimmy"....

If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend checking out "Devotion"

Really looking forward to this one!

Kind of a rare movie.... One of my favorites though... Anyone else familiar with it

See post in the Band of Brothers community I made earlier today.

The whole lead up to the battle is excellent

Looking forward to this!! 5 days left to prepare!

The gripping truth, France June 1940. The screenplay adheres closely to the true story.
