Help Pick the Movie for Our 3rd Rewatch

Please read the movie descriptions below

  • A League of Their Own (1992) - American sports comedy drama film that tells a fictionalized account of the real-life All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL) during WWII. Dir. by Penny Marshall
  • Greyhound (2020) - The film is based on the 1955 novel The Good Shepherd, and follows a US Navy commander on his first assignment commanding a multi-national escort destroyer group of four, defending an Allied convoy from U-boats during the Battle of the Atlantic. Dir. by Aaron Schneider
  • Mudbound (2017) - The film depicts two World War II veterans – one white, one black – who return to rural Mississippi each to address racism and PTSD in his own way. Dir. by Dee Rees
  • Twelve O'Clock High (1949) - A tough-as-nails general (Gregory Peck as General Savage) takes over a B-17 bomber unit suffering from low morale and whips them into fighting shape. Based on a novel by the same name. Dir. by Henry King
  • The Best Years of Our Lives (1946) - three United States servicemen re-adjusting to societal changes and civilian life after coming home from World War II. The three men come from different services with different ranks that do not correspond with their civilian social class backgrounds. It is one of the earliest films to address issues encountered by returning veterans in the post World War II era. Dir. by William Wyler 
  • The Monuments Men (2014) - An unlikely World War II platoon is tasked to rescue art masterpieces from German thieves and return them to their owners. Based on the 2007 non-fiction book The Monuments Men: Allied Heroes, Nazi Thieves and the Greatest Treasure Hunt in History. Dir. by George Clooney
  • Fury (2014) - A grizzled tank commander makes tough decisions as he and his crew fight their way across Germany in April, 1945. Dir. by David Ayer
  • Valkyrie (2008) - A dramatization of the July 20, 1944 assassination and political coup plot by desperate renegade German Army officers against Adolf Hitler during World War II. Dir. by Bryan Singer
  • The Cranes are Flying (1957) - A Soviet war drama that depicts the cruelty and the damage done to the Soviet psyche as a result of the Second World War, which was known in the Soviet Union as the Great Patriotic War. Dir. by Mikhail Kalatozov
  • Ivan's Childhood (1962) A Soviet war drama based on Vladimir Bogomolov's 1957 short story "Ivan" is the story of orphaned boy Ivan, whose parents were killed by the invading German forces, and his experiences during World War II. Dir. by Andrei Tarkovsky
  • The Great Escape (1963) Adapted from Paul Brickhill's 1950 non-fiction book of the same name, the film depicts a heavily fictionalized version of the mass escape by British Commonwealth prisoners of war from German POW camp Stalag Luft III in World War II. The film made numerous compromises for its commercial appeal, including its portrayal of American involvement in the escape. Dir. by John Sturges

this is because someone said in the review (which you can still do) that they'd have liked to start with the movie and that got me curious to see if that's a popular opinion because we can certainly swap to it

We've had more interest in a rotational order for the next rewatch as opposed to the timeline order. It'll be two episodes a week again with this rewatch so it would be rotating back around every second week.

Example of a potential schedule: Week 1: BoB E1, TP E1 Week 2: MotA E1, BoB E2 Week 3: TP E2, MotA E2 Week 4: BoB E3, TP E3 and so on and so forth for 15 weeks of watching. If we start with a movie in week one instead of ending with it in week 15 then it all would shift back by one and look more like Week 1: Movie, TP E1 Week 2: MotA E1, BoB E1 Week 3: TP E2, MotA E2 Week 4: BoB E2, TP E3 and so on
