I really like World War II movies. I am not sure why, but I do. Not just the submarine movies, but most of the movies. One of my favorite movies is The Longest Day http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0056197/. This movie is filled with many, many stars, and has many vignettes of what happened during D-Day. By my personal research, I learned that many of these vignettes were true, with some artistic license taken. Tonight, on PBS, I watch a show about D-Day http://www.livingbattlefield.org/battlefield-tours-on-dvd.html . From this show, I learned that many of the vignettes in The Longest Day are based in fact.
That was very interesting to me.
I appreciate movies when they tell us truths, even in modified form.
