- DirectorKen AnnakinAndrew MartonGerd OswaldStarsJohn WayneRobert RyanRichard BurtonThe events of D-Day, told on a grand scale from both the Allied and German points of view.Уникальный фильм о высадке в Нормандии, снятый пятью режиссерами при участии эпического количества знаковых актеров. Отличнейшая хронология событий, показывающая параллельно действия сразу нескольких боевых групп — а учитывая суперзвездный состав, все эпизоды насыщены очень живыми персонажами и историями. "Спасение рядового Райана" многое подсмотрело у этого фильма, особенно сцены высадки на пляже. По-настоящему эпическое кино.
- DirectorRobert PiroshStarsVan JohnsonLane NakanoGeorge MikiThe story of Japanese-American soldiers who fought in Europe during World War II.
- DirectorRichard FleischerKinji FukasakuToshio MasudaStarsMartin BalsamSô YamamuraJason RobardsThe story of the 1941 Japanese air raid on Pearl Harbor, and the series of preceding American blunders that aggravated its effectiveness.С документальной точностью воссозданная хронология событий в Перл-Харборе, начинающаяся задолго до атаки и вообще вступления Японии в войну. Здорово показана последовательность происходившего, много интересных исторических деталей, мощные боевые постановки. И что самое приятное — поскольку фильм совместного американо-японского производства, картонных персонажей и клише нет, все сыграно с уважением друг к другу. И взрывов больше чем у Майкла Бея.

But will it happen?Добротное военное кино про очередной захват и удержание моста, психологически важного для обеих сторон. Неплохие актеры, очень живые боевые сцены, яркие ключевые персонажи и неоднозначные события вокруг них.
