MY 25 PICKS FOR FAVORITE / BEST AND WORST WORLD WAR II MOVIES (RANKED)
This Memorial Day weekend, I’ve ranked my most (and least) favorite World War II movies.
Based on IMDB listings, there are roughly 6,000 films related to WW2, which stands above all other subjects as the most recycled historical event in movies.
Note that these are my “favorite” movies, which isn’t quite the same thing as the “greatest” movies — though there’s some obvious crossover. I based my #number# rankings on how many occasions I’ve seen the movie (in some cases, numerous times) and the chances I would want to watch it again. In some cases, a movie can be great but I also don’t want to see it a third or fourth time. Once is plenty enough. So, it’s all subjective, and admittedly inconsistent. Nonetheless, let’s take this occasion to remember the best and worst WW2 films.

So, the incompetent corrupt imbecilic deranged idiot who doesn’t bother to read his own government’s intelligence reports…..who won’t listen to his own advisors….who naively disregards experts with a lifetime of diplomatic experience in the field….who has no grasp of history….who learned nothing at all from two previous failed wars in the Middle East…..who lies incessantly to everyone…..and who (by his own admission!) decided to follow his “gut feelings” to attack a mighty powerful and proud and clearly dangerous nation of 90 million buttressed with the world’s 10th largest armed forces, and is loaded with ballistic missiles and drones with close proximity to multiple targets throughout the region (including U.S. bases), and has developed strong alliances with both Russia and China.
Any more bright ideas, orange dumb-ass?
