What is war good for? Absolutely nothing, of course. That said, war has produced some pretty good movies, and none more than World War II. It has fascinated filmmakers more than any other conflict, which is understandable, given the atrocities it involved and its impact on human history. So many movies have been made about it that it stands apart from other war movies as a genre unto itself.
It's rather daunting, then, to choose the best World War II movies ever made. But we know someone who has thoughts on the subject: director Quentin Tarantino, a man who knows quite a bit about making a great WW2 film himself. He and a grizzled squad of Time Out writers helped craft this definitive list of the greatest movies centred around that global battle, and it includes screen-filling epics, intimate dramas, devastating documentaries, and even a comedy or two.
