Well Cross of Iron wasn't bad, but I hear you. Who knows what it'll look like though. I'm hoping it's a modern war movie with "Fury"/"SPR" levels of intensity/violence. All while keeping the scope and scale of the war in mind, with decent writing.

In other words, Saving Private Ryan, but in the Eastern Front. I don't think that's something that's been seen before, let alone something that can be comprehended.

Wasn't Enemy At The Gates already an big budget US movie about the eastern front 14 years ago?

The German Stalingrad comes to mind as does the Soviet miniseries Liberation .

How about the Finnish The Winter War ?

All on a level with SPR (if not higher) and about the Eastern Front. In fact I think White Tiger is a superior movie to Fury Much more realistic tank on tank combat.

That was the title of the movie,but it didn't cover the whole campaign,it focused in on the duel between the Soviet sniper Zaitzvev and Major Kornings,and even that wasn't really accurate.The movie was entertaining,but nothing like the book.

I've seen all those movies with the exception of Liberation. I don't think any of those films were on par with SPR as far as directoral decisions go, or things like cinematography, sound mixing, historical equipment/uniforms, etc. White Tiger I will agree was superior to Fury in terms of tank combat, but all the films you mentioned are foreign films. Not to bash on them, but I think a Hollywood production could, and would look/sound a whole lot better than those.

Ya and all I remeber where how weak the explosions and gunfire sounded, not to mention the all British ensemble

you can cut that anti Brit sentiment there Joe, it was a British cast and crew with some american actors too, as far as weak gun fire and explosions go, turn your sound up, the stuka attack and not enough weapons to go around at the start was an eye opener.

The problem I find is that those Hollywood touches are usually for the worse, not the better.


Liberation is definitely worth finding. Try an 8 hour miniseries covering Kursk to Berlin with a concentration on Zhukov with reenacted battles as large as the originals. But then one of my favorite eastern front movies is the Italian Attack and Retreat
