I just watched Saving Private Ryan again last night and I'm going to check out Hitler: The Rise of Evil next (which I haven't seen yet). What are some other good movies to check out?
I watched Fury earlier in the year and loved it. I also saw someone mention on a Facebook a new movie called Child 44 featuring Tom Hardy and Gary Oldman about a serial child killer in the Stalin Russia era so I plan to check that out ASAP. Not really looking for straight up war movies but I don't mind them. Just wanting something with a little more character involvement instead of constant fighting. Anything to do with spies is awesome. Locations in Russia and Germany are a plus. Even just movies about the Jewish people such as the tv movie, Uprising. Or the film, The Pianist.
Thanks.
Edit: Movies mentioned so far. (By the way, I have a high tolerance for movies so even mediocre movies are ok.)
