Man, let me to think about this. I grew up watching WWII movies.

I can name a couple of TV shows about WWII that I enjoyed: Black Sheep Squadron and Hogan's Heroes... yeah, I know that one's comedy and goofy, but I still like it and watch it in reruns to this day.

Let's see... WWII Movies I like...

The aforementioned Tora, Tora, Tora!
The Great Escape
Battle of Britain
The Dirty Dozen
The Best Years of Our Lives
Twelve O'Clock High
From Here To Eternity
In Harm's Way

On the comedy side, there's Operation Petticoat (come to think of it, I liked the TV series based on it too). And the comedy/parody 1941.

Even science fiction gets a look in, with The Final Countdown, another film I really enjoyed.

Loved Operation Petticoat it is so true to how many must scrounge for needed items in war...it certainly prepared me to get things!laugh
Thoroughly enjoyed Final Countdown and still view it.
Some of my WW2 favourite war films are:
The Young Lions
Where Eagles dare
The Bridge
A Bridge Too Far
Catch 22
Cross of Iron
Is Paris Burning?
Mother Night
A Time To Love And A Time To Die
The Train
A Walk In The Sun
and The Sorrow And The Pity; all 8 and a half hours! Superb!
