Jewish kid passes as German in WWII.

Another vote for Gallipoli. GMV, war movie or not, is inferior.

[Fate]

So fantasy history is valid?

How about:

[The Brain]

Ran is shallow and boring as fuck and the wig is too silly. Go rewatch Kagemusha instead.

[The Brain]

Battle of Algiers isn't a war movie. It was a police action.

The same goes for Vietnam movies. Congress never declared war.

Wasn't Günther Prien's U-47 supposedly sunk by HMS Wolverine? Makes you thimk.

I watched that movie when I was a kid, I only remember a few scenes, amongst them the one when they examine him in the classroom and determine that he's Baltic "not Aryan, but acceptable" and when he says that he had to tie his penis skin with a string to simulate having a foreskin in the showers. This last one creeped me up a lot.

I think no guy that sees that movie forgets the foreskin string.  A little like Something About Mary.:p

My peepee is so huge, I'd need a good, strong hemp rope to get away with that trick.

Easy one. I nominate 'Battle of Britain' against 'Ice-Cold in Alex' (and I think I can surely bet no one of us remembers having watched that one)
