http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AAJWjUKtPg

its a true story during WWII Nazi occupied Czechoslovakia. A team of Czech Assassins trained by the British were dropped back to thier homeland
to assassinate the highest ranking Nazi officer of the land. The successful Assassination of Reinhard Heidrich (spelling) angered Hitler and led to a counterattack which crumbled the town of Lidice to ashes killing thousands of innocent civiliians. The Assassins were discovered in a city cathedral after months of searching thanks to one of the members who betrayed them. Despite a severe gunbattle in the cathedral, the NAzis werent able to apprehend them, To prevent capture, the assassins killed themselves and eventually became NAtional Heros of Czechoslovakia.

ang titel kay The War Tapes

Ah too many. Im such a sucker for war and war theme movies.

My favorites:

They Were Expendable - Set in the Philippines US and Japanese, war is by sea.

Sahara - Allies VS. Germans set in the desert ends in a fight for water.

Saving Private Ryan

Dirty Dozen

Hiroshima - Story about Japan days before the Atomic Bomb was dropped. I find this movie disturbing when I was young 'cause of its apocalyptic feel.

In Harms Way - US Vs. Japan, John Wayne

Memphis Belle - US Vs. Germans, Air battle. My favorite Aerial WWII movie.

Manila, Open City - I remember this movie was a joint production by both US and Filipino with lots of casts. US VS. Japs

Biloxy Blues - War theme story about young recruits movie circles around Boot Camp

Patton - General Patton's campaigns during WWII. Set in Europe. Tank against Tank like Battle of the Bulge. Great movie.

The Longest Day - Like Private Ryan but bigger. Classic Film, Very good.

The Pianist - One of my all time favorite movie. Jewish musician trapped in war-torn Germany.

The Last Bullet - Much like Enemy at the Gates but between an Australian sniper and a Japanese sniper hunting each other. This is a very good movie. Better than Enemy at the Gates, come to think about it.

Stalingrad - Russians VS. Germans. Strange movie. Here you get to be on the side of the Germans not the typical Germans are the enemy movie.

Great Raid - Good war movie but Miramax didn't do much to promote this. Wa sad ni mu sikat diri, really sad. When we should promote movies like this instead of the crappy ones.

Empire of the Sun - About a rich english boy living in China during the Japanese occupation, reminds me of the Pianist. Very good Spielberg film.

many more just can't remember the title.
