The Longest Day (1962)
Producer Darryl F Zanuck saw the aftermath of D-Day as part of a news camera crew, so it's not surprising that his depiction of Operation Overlord was painstakingly accurate. The last blockbuster epic shot in black and white, With three directors and an all-star cast including John Wayne, Richard Burton, Robert Mitchum and Henry Fonda (plus a pre-Bond Sean Connery) tramping around the original locations, The Longest Day was an undertaking on the same scale as the real D-Day landings.

Casualties Of War should be in there. The tension is electric and the film is barely watchable in parts. The subject matter, American war crimes, meant it would never get the Hollywood treatment but it made it a better film, Totally absorbing, it'll have you on the edge of your seat throughout.

For myself, A Bridge Too Far will always be my all time No 1. But Kelly's Hero's is still a entertaining romp.
