CGI will never be able to compete with real practical effects and real aircraft and tanks in movies. "A Bridge Too Far" and "Battle of Britain" prove this over and over again.
Quite a lot of the aerial footage in "Battle of Britain" was repeated several times over and models were also used extensively, however, it remains a great movie!
@@jayleach5730 Yes, the explosions r also realistic and wonder how the stunt men were able to dodge them w/o getting hurt. Mayb the film was overlayd w two separate scenes?
Max Wedge Market Garden actually advanced 100km in just 3 days. This was the fastest allied advance against German opposition in the entire September 1944 to February 1945 period. Patton in the Lorraine and Hodges in the Hurtgen Forest were the real disasters of autumn 1944. And then the retreat in the Ardennes.
Always interesting to see 45 year old men play roles that at best would be 22 years of age...Those that were there were so very young. Thank you for Your Service.
Average age was about 26, but it’s just that: average. Not nearly all were so young, the soldiers typically were drafted between 21 and 45, but most combat able soldiers were between 19 and 33, with pilots more often being 25+
Battle of Britain is a great movie. I think it won the Academy Award for special effects that year but those stuka scenes are hard to watch. Of all the planes used in the movie the JU 87 was the only one the did not have a working plane for. All the stuka scenes are done with RC models.
What doesn't make sense is how the Chain Home stations didn't detect the Stukas. They should have picked them up early enough for the fighters to have been scrambled. Fun fact: The chain home tower at Stenigot, Lincolnshire is still standing and from the top you can see bomb craters around it from the Luftwaffe's unsuccessful attempts to hit it.
@@mitchellsmith4690 Well,we all experience different things in the same country......And I guess he added a few things of his own, because he's a Dramatist and a drama requires Emotions and contexts........I really loved his movie The Director's Cut version of Nixon 1995, especially the deleted scene where Nixon visits the CIA headquarters to meet Helms,you can find that scene on UA-cam too,just type Nixon vs Helms.
@@SprikSprak the only other scene that I can think of that coveys the horror of that situation is in Band of Brothers when Easy Company was getting shelled by the Germans during Bastogne
I've always thought that, the blotting out of the day and it's perceived horror could only be outdone by being a veteran of it. Those screams in the wood line drowning amidst bursting men and metal.
People often think about the ww2 on the ground between infantry, tanks, etc. However, what truly made ww2 terrifying compared to other wars was the usage of aircraft in a coordinated way to support ground forces and destroy military targets.
I watched an interview with a German tank commander who said he was heading to Normandy to attack the Allies when they were attacked by allied aircraft. Within just a few minutes all but 2 tanks were destroyed.
@@Pmtd1234 Same on the eastern front. Fall Blau (1942.6.30~1942.8) made its way clear on the first day simply because Stukas did sorties without rest from 3am to 8pm. The unstoppable Panzers? They were stuck in AT traps as they struggled to breakthrough Russian defense (23rd Panzer Div's 201st Panzer Regiment lost 1/3 of its all service tanks on this very first day).
I would counter with being on the receiving end of an artillery barrage would be absolutely terrifying...if you survived long enough to be terrified. The "Bridge Too Far" footage at 11:10 speaks volumes.
Lee Marvin is buried at Arlington National Cemetery, a United States military cemetery. He shunned a public cemetery because he wanted to be back amongst his WW2 comrades. He was seriously wounded at the Battle of Saipan and was awarded the Purple Heart.
I would put the assault on the factory from Stalingrad (1993) pretty high up there. The actors are what make it great, you see tons of different human traits: fear, shock, bloodlust, battle hardened, stoic, leadership etc... all in a 10 minute scene where only around 50 of the 500 company survive.
"A Bridge Too Far" (1977) 3 million guilders went to James Caan who fulfilled the role of US army 101 airborne staff sergeant Eddie Dohun. 12 minutes of playing time for Caan.
I think I remember the real Eddie Dohun being interviewed about the film and Caans' performance of him in the film. Cant really remember what he said though, long time ago. Attenborough was real upset about when this was released because Star Wars was released at the same time. and took all the press attention away from this film.
@@bogusmogus9551 Yeah, but they thought Star Wars was going to be a flop at the time. They put all their Sci Fi money on "Damnation Alley" which WAS a flop.
They don't make WW2 movies like they use to. A Bridge too Far, The Battle of Britain, The first Midway movie, and many others from that time frame are classics.
Every time I see Stukas blowing things up, I like to remind myself that most of them were shot down by ‘44 since they were outgunned by more advanced fighters.
During the Normandy battles the 25 pounder artillery gun was the mainstay of the British and Canadian armies. The skilled crews achieved such high rates of fire that some dazed German prisoners when captured demanded to see the belt fed automatic artillery gun that was giving them such a pasting.
I didn't know that the Vietcong was on the Axis side in WWII? But, thanks for the great compilation. I especially agree that the anti-tank ambush in "Bridge Too Far" is the best scene in the movie.
@@maciejniedzielski7496 Those were Dutch Army artillerymen, wearing British uniforms and firing LIVE ammo at the Dutch Army training ground near where the tank scenes were filmed. They still had British WW2 artillery at that time
The anti-tank guns scene was very well done, and the strange truth is it never happened. The tanks destroyed during the first stage of the attack were destroyed by panzerfausts fired at point blank range by what has to be considered a suicide mission by a small group of Germans in a trench hidden next to the road. The fight escalated as the supporting infantry opened up. Also, the RAF did not come in to the save the day, the Irish Guards defeated the Germans with their tanks.
Loved Burt Lancaster !!He did all his own stunts !! And in the movie The Train he sprained his ankle and still continues acting with his sprained ankle. He actually served in WW2
The Polish repeat scene in the Battle of Britain wasn't included, but a great part of that film. They were all great film clips though. A lot I've forgotten about until watching this. Nice one.
I hate it when people come on you tube and make recommendations on someone elses video , but The Cross of Iron is epic . Sorry . Great choices of films here
Best scene in Bridge Too Far must be German armoured cars and half tracks racing over the bridge and getting stopped cold by British paras but artillery scene here also superb. Must watch that movie again soon, an eternal classic.
I always thought the action in ZULU was too slow. Like they were afraid of hurting one of the actors and the timing was bad on some of the fights. Example: A Zulu warrior raises a weapon and waits to be killed by somebody.
My Dad, who is a combat vet from G-3-7 at the Chosen Res told me the beginning of Saving Private Ryan was "pretty close" to the real deal. He said they left out the trucks and tanks rolling over the dead and wounded bodies on the beach...good guys or bad...rolling right in and over bodies.
The scariest part of the Stukas is that they didn't make that sound because that's just how the plane sounded. That sound was added to ensure that it struck terror into the hearts of those being attacked by them.
One rail car of POW's was strafed by friendly p-38's, killing all but one man. The train didn't stop for days, and there were so many people inside that there wasn't enough room for the bodies to even fall over, the one survivor just stood there propped up by dead men for DAYS
There was no computers, no cgi. And perfect scene. Now is watching action movie like watchin PS5. especially superhero movies. I dont understands why people going such movies and pay for it...
With a bridge too far, I think the one sequence that was really something was when the Brits were holding the northern end of the arnhem bridge against the German attack. They held, but barely. And held out for three times the length they were asked to.
I think the re-taking of Hue in Full Metal Jacket is one of the best scenes, including the dystopian music. Also Hamburger Hill, where they are nearly at the summit.
They don't make these movies like they used too. Classics. Wish our younger generation would see these movies, possibly instill the sacrifices of our fighting men and woman, instead of killing our children.
You said Indians. Good for you. Now what else have they taught you to say? I bet you like to way 'Woke'. Go ahead and say it......W - O - K - E. Good job.
I can understand the glamor of cinema but please correct me if I am wrong but once in a documentary I learned that the Luftwaffe just flew over these radar stations along the shores of GB either of sheet cockiness or they mistook them for power lines since radar had just been recently invented unaware to the germans. In any case the battle of Britain is my next best movie to the battle of the bulge.
They attacked radar stations during the first couple of days then stopped. They knew they had put them out of action but underestimated how fast they would be repaired.
@@b3j8 That as well. There is a great book called 'Night Fighters' written by Colin D. Heaton which covers nighttime air battles and the technology race between England and Germany. If you get a chance, I highly recommend it.
The way those stukas collapse after a few salvos from the Spitfires 303's; and the same shot from 3 different a angles.Ah well; it's still better than CGI.
The Luftwäffe was known to attach speakers to the spatted wheels of Stukas to make the engine noise sound more terrifying as they dove on their targets.
THE "LONGEST DAY" IS DEFINITELY A CLASSIC AND SO WELL DONE!

That coordinated barrage from A Bridge Too Far was a massive demonstration of artillery being 'Queen of the battlefield.'
Infantry is the Queen of the Battle. Everybody screws her.
Honestly, I came for that creeping barrage. I just started watching this clip, and I told myself that it has to be in this video
You missed the best scene. When Audi Murphy maned the 50 cal on top of the tank destroyer. Later received the MOH.

Classic movies always have beautiful cinematography.the color so rich.
Because they were actually filmed, instead of being created by a computer.
Every time I see Stukas blowing things up, I like to remind myself that most of them were shot down by ‘44 since they were outgunned by more advanced fighters.
That scene was supposed to be 1940 I think
They were so vulnerable to an unsuppressed enemy that they were withdrawn from the BoB whilst there were still some left.
The sound of a Spitfire is possibly the most beautiful aviation engine ever to exist
Rolls Royce Merlin Engines, the greatest sound to hear in that time

Purple Hearts (1984) featuring R. Lee Ermey has some very good battle scenes.
Oh, how true. Ken Wahl, Cheryl Ladd and R. Lee Ermey were great. A mostly romantic film set in Vietnam, the action scenes were excellent.
Laughed out loud - 'Force 10 from Navarone'?
This movie is a master piece even some 50 years latter.
From my (limited)experience, A Bridge Too Far nailed it......
Edward Fox will always be the quintessential Brit upperclass warrior type in WW2 movies.
Watching artillery walking towards you must be absolutely effing terrifying.
That's called a "Walking" Barrage.

The depth charge scenes in Das Boot had me white knuckling the arms of my chair
