Top 10 World War II movies ranked – Saving Private Ryan missed out on No 1 | Films | Entertainment




The deadliest conflict in world history remains in living memory with many events of World War II being adapted into movies of the succeeding decades.

There are hundreds of motion pictures set during the Second World War, but only a few are considered the very best.

Film fan database IMDb has ranked the Top 10 World War II films of all time and it is hardly surprising that those at the top multi-Oscar winners.

Of course, Steven Spielberg’s Saving Private Ryan made the list, but the epic was beaten to No 1 by another classic.

8. Inglourious Basterds (2009)

Quentin Tarantino’s World War II movie focuses on a plot to assassinate the Nazi leadership at a Paris cinema. Brad Pitt’s Lieutenant Aldo Raine leads a team of Jewish American soldiers, teaming up with a French Jewish movie theatre proprietor seeking to avenge her father. The tongue-in-cheek film, with its alternate history plot, was nominated for eight Oscars with Christoph Waltz winning Best Supporting Actor for his iconic turn as the villainous SS Colonel Hans Landa.
