Question

What is a good movie about Vietnam War and one on WWII? Have to write a research paper.?

Answer 1

Good movies on Vietnam:



Platoon- Experience of the common soldier

Full Metal Jacket- Training and Battle of Hue

Born on the Fourth of July- Treatment of injured Vietnam soldier



Good movies on WWII:



Band of Brothers- Best depiction ever made. Training, Normandy, Operation Market Garden, Battle of the Bulge, Liberation of a camp, German Surrender

Saving Private Ryan- Second best. Normandy and battles in France

Downfall- Hitler's final days in his bunker and the Battle of Berlin.

Answer 2

Hambuger Hill and We Were Soliders for Vietnam. Both are based on actual events and battles, but We Were Soliders is more historically acurate. There is an old documentary series called Vietnam: The Ten Thousand Day War that is very informative. For WWII probably one of the most acurate movies is A Bridge Too Far. It's a bit of an older movie, circa 1960 I think, but excellent. Band of Brothers is also an excellent source and has some overlap with Bridge. If you could narrow you question to a time period or event, I may be able to help futher. Good luck

Answer 3

WWII- Saving Private Ryan

Vietnam- Hamburger Hill , Platoon

Good luck!!

Answer 4

The Thin Red Line (Vietnam) and Letters from Iwo Jima (WWII)



I recommend these because The Thin Red Line has a storyline about a deserter and Letters because it's the Japanese viewpoint.

Answer 5

Vietnam MASH

WWII Saving Private Ryan

Answer 6

Band of Brothers for WWII

Answer 7

"Stolen Honor - Wounds That Never Heal " , a documentary by Vietnam P.O.W.'S , by Red White & Blue Productions .



"Bonhoeffer" documentary at Tegel military prison-1944 , for a personal view into the war .

Answer 8

Glory and Platoon are good ones for Vietnam and Green Berets for WWII.

Research is NOT watching movies. Go to the library and try this new thing they have there called BOOKS.... you can take them home and it doesn't cost anything but you have to bring them back when youre finished with them.
