I have not seen The Cranes are Flying, its been on my watch list for a while. I have Ivans Childhood from the library and plan on watching that, then watching The Cranes are Flying. Come and See is so Haunting, I love it! Its nice to see someone else who also loves it

My personal favorite World War II movies at the moment are:
- The Guns of Navarone
- The Great Escape
- Kelly's Heroes
- Saints and Soldiers (even though I'm an atheist)
- Farewell to the King
Honorable Mentions: - The Big Red One (as of right now, I prefer the original, theatrical cut)
- Saving Private Ryan
- FDR: American Badass!
- Schindler's List
- Hacksaw Ridge
- The Longest Day
- Castle Keep
- A Midnight Clear
- Hell Is for Heroes
- Casablanca (been thinking of giving this one a big boost higher up in my personal rankings, though)
- The Eagle Has Landed
- Slaughterhouse-Five

In particular order:
lemme think
1.
Shoah
(the most historically important film ever made, second is The Act of Killing, inspired by Shoah)
2.
Come and See
(incredibly bleak Belarusian partisan film)
3.
Downfall
(Bruno Ganz as Hitler, can you ask for more?)
4.
The Big Red One
(Mark Hamill, Lee Marvin, Robert Carradine, directed by WWII, Big Red One veteran superdirector Sam Fuller - can you ask for more?)
5.
The Bridge on the River Kwai
(David Lean, Alec Guinness, William Holden, can you ask for more?)
Inglorious Bastards - wrong. Unless you are talking about the original, but still wrong, just not as much. I am not sure if you are unintentionally correcting the illiterate Tarantino's misspelling or intentionally giving the name of the original, superior film.
