Three Great War Movies:

The Longest Day:
On June 6, 1944, the Allied Invasion of France marked the beginning of the end of Nazi domination over Europe. The attack involved 3,000,000 men, 11,000 planes and 4,000 ships, comprising the largest armada the world has ever seen.

Presented in its original black & white version, The Longest Day is a vivid, hour-by-hour re-creation of this historic event. Featuring a stellar international cast, and told from the perspectives of both sides, it is a fascinating look at the massive preparations, mistakes and random events that determined the outcome of one of the biggest battles in history.

Winner of two Oscars (Special Effects and Cinematography), The Longest Day ranks as one of Hollywood's truly great war films.

Patton:
A critically acclaimed film that won a total of seven 1970 Academy Awards (including Best Picture), Patton is a riveting portrait of one of the 20th Century's greatest military geniuses. One of its Oscars went to George C. Scott for his triumphant portrayal of George Patton, the only allied general truly feared by the Nazis. Charismatic and flamboyant, Patton designed his own uniforms, sported ivory-handled six-shooters, and believed he was a warrior in past lives. He outmanoeuvred Rommel in Africa, and after D-Day led his troops in an unstoppable campaign across Europe. But he was rebellious as well as brilliant, and as Pattons shows with insight and poignancy, his own volatile personality was the one enemy he could never defeat.

Tora! Tora! Tora!:
This classic Pearl Harbor epic, one of the most spectacular action films ever made, meticulously recreates the stunning attack on American forces by the Japanese. Nominated for 5 ACADEMY AWARDS, "Tora! Tora! Tora!" (the Japanese signal to attack) features a joint U.S and Japanese production team, chronicling both sides of the unforgettable Pearl Harbor story with awe-inspiring accuracy and explosive action.
