World War movie question

[Mr. Showcase]

I love a really good world war movie but I was thinking earlier about what sides we see in those movies, British, American, German and Japanese. I was wondering if there were any (preferably good) movies out there about other countries fighting men? For example Africans, Indians, Australians etc... anyone we don't commonly see in the movies.

Gallipoli springs to mind

The 1983 Russian entry 'Come And See' is generally held in high regard.

What about "Zulu"? Should be able to pick it up cheap on DVD - there's thousanRAB of 'em!

"Brotherhood" is a cracking tale of two brothers fighting on opposite sides during the Korean War. Great film.

"The Hurt Locker" - Baghdad - Another good'un.

"Days Of Glory" - Tunisian, Morrocan - not great, but not too shabby, with one or two standout skermishes.

"Black Book" - Dutch - feminine POV - good stuff.

"Kokoda" - Australia - fair, but restricted budget.

Yup.Awesome stuff.The attention to detail is second to none.They showed it once as C4's 'Soviet Spring' season many years ago.It totally blew me away.

Captain Corelli's Mandolin, shows things from the Italian perspective, but I guess is more of a love story really.

Although an American made film, Paths of Glory is about the French army in WW1 and is a powerful movie, directed by Stanley Kubrick and starring Kirk Douglas.
