The Pianist

 

Technically I think I've only seen it twice, but it's a great movie and needs a mention.

 

Also, has anybody watched Memphis Belle? Only seen it the once but another good war movie about the crew of a WWII bomber returning home

Pianist is a bit long and drawn out.

This is the one that I've grown to appreciate. Have only seen it twice.

 

Come and See (1985)

It's likely you'll want to avert your eyes during Russian director Elem Klimov's terrifying WWII epic about the Nazi occupation of Belarus. Yet it weaves a mesmerizing spell, from the opening image of two children digging in a field for abandoned rifles. One of those boys is taken from his home by partisans to fight the Germans. It's the start of a nine-circles-of-hell odyssey that culminates with a dreamlike encounter with the ultimate persecutor. But before that finale, we're subjected to a staggering succession of atrocities (ear-shattering explosions, corpses piled high, a village systematically destroyed) that would be unbearable were it not for the film's entrancing, near-surreal aesthetic.—Joshua Rothkopf
