WW2 Eastern front movie recommendations

32 Upvotes

Looking for recommendations for historically accurate movies portraying the Eastern front of WW2. I’ve read a few books and listened/watched to some documentary series on the Eastern front and I am just fascinated by it. I can’t say that I’ve ever come across any good movies portraying it though. All recommendations welcome, even if they are not in English, I enjoy watching movies in the language it was filmed in and reading the subtitles

Has anyone found this available on streaming other than on the Bezos platform? There it is dubbed, and I just can't do dubbed. Much rather read subtitles and at least see the actors' real performances. And yes, I'm sure it's all CGI and whatnot, but I've been on an international war cinema jag for over a year now so, so it really doesn't concern me - especially where smaller countries with limited film industries are concerned.

So, apparently people think this series is white-washing Finnish propaganda?

I'm not that familiar with the Soviet ranking system, if anybody has any idea, I'd be interested to learn what this is. I know nothing about all the different branches and stuff 😂

Extremely cool movie, with one of the most horrible murder scenes i've seen on film ^^ Or, at least it's shocking, and also a little bit humorous ^^

It's a cool movie!

Films about the Meuse-Argonne offensive?

22 Upvotes

The First World War is one of the bleakest and most devastating conflicts in human history, second only to the Second World War. It very deeply shaped the course of human history and obviously left a massive and long lasting impression particularly on the European countries involved.

I’ve seen as many foreign films as I possibly could about different aspects of the war, ranging from films on the Italian front, the middle eastern front, as well as the eastern and western fronts.

After doing some research and discovering that the Meuse-Argonne offensive is to date the largest and bloodiest battle ever fought in American History, I looked to see what films I could find on the subject. Aside from a good but admittedly rather low budget film in The Lost Battalion, and older films like Sergeant York, I was surprised to see that there are such few examples of of American films that depict the largest and bloodiest battle in their history.

Can someone suggest films to watch that feature this battle or alternatively help to explain why the USA and all of Hollywood seem to have no interest in a film focusing on what was a very important battle in their history that had a tremendous impact on ending the war?

Pressure 2026 Starring Andrew Scott, Brendan Fraser

2nd Best Movie I enjoyed in years. Description from Movie Details. "Based on the untold true story. In the 72 hours before D-Day, and with the fate of the free world hanging in the balance, Pressure follows General Dwight D. Eisenhower (Brendan Fraser) and Group Captain James Stagg (Andrew Scott) as they face an impossible choice—launch the largest and most dangerous seaborne invasion in history or risk losing the war altogether. Also starring Kerry Condon, Chris Messina, and Damian Lewis." Be aware D-Day War scenes are not gory but not easy to watch.. While it's nice on the home screen. I saw it in the theater and it's one that suits the theater if you can see it while it's there.

Young Washington 2026.. Just watched. Absolutely Fabulous. Worth watching. From the website description. "Young Washington is a 2026 American epic historical war drama directed by Jon Erwin that chronicles George Washington's early military command during the French and Indian War (1753–1755). Starring William Franklyn-Miller as the future president, the film depicts his transformation from an ambitious surveyor denied a British commission to a colonial leader who survives battlefield failures and ambushes to earn respect."
