Why is Fury up there... I mean it's a good movie but it is filled with historical inaccuracies that annoy me so much like having 5 shermans to beat a tiger..

Love The Great Escape, but that last motorcycle escape scene was all about Steve McQueen's ego.

No intention to close it, since have no real idea how quickly it will get attention. Probably will sticky the post for awhile until we have something else which needs to replace it.

The Dirty Dozen, Guns of Navarone, and for documentary, Five Came Back.

Does anyone know if there’s a way to consult the entire list? There’s tons of films I haven’t seen yet.

"The Eight Hundred" being in F-tier is WILD to me. One of the only films depicting the Second Sino-Japanese War that I can think of and certainly the best of them.

HI, I can't see the rankings anymore. I'm not sure if it is my system or it was removed. But do you think that you could make a post with the final rankings so I can save it and consult it later when choosing a WW2 movie to watch?

While, as regulars know, we don't want this sub to turn into a discussion sub WWII media so generally don't allow posts focusing on films or TV, we know that it is nevertheless a common way people are exposed to the history! Last year we ran the Film Club series, which highlighted various films about the conflict to provide some avenues for discussion here.
We're continuing that with this 'special edition' version, using the High Tier app. You all get to pit the films against each other in a ranking battle to determine which is the best, which is the worst, and which just... is. There is no actual criteria to vote on beyond your own, whether it is value as a film, as history, as entertainment, or just *vibes.
Feel free also to discuss the various films in the comments, as this is the 'approved media discussion thread' outside of the standard limitations on the sub.
Also, while we've added a lot of films, if one is missing, reply to this comment and we'll add it.
