D DAY MOVIES MOVIE
Number one in this top 5 can go to no other movie than The Longest Day, which takes in the entire invasion, all nationalities and battles this is the definitive movie about D-Day, it is also the longest movie! He wanted to show the real suffering and intense emotion of the soldiers. Spielberg meant to honor those who fought, and so he did not want the battle to look romantic as many World War II war films before had done. German machine guns in fortified positions shot at them, and they were continually shelled by artillery. Once ashore it was difficult to join up with other units on account of the heavy enemy fire. Many were shot even before they could reach the shore. As shown in the film, many soldiers suffered from sea sickness. The action in the opening scene is indeed very close to actual historical events. Omaha Beach was the name given to one of two positions where U.S forces landed in Normandy on D-Day, 6 June 1944.

D DAY MOVIES PROFESSIONAL
What sets this movie apart from others is that it portrays General Montgomery as a competent military professional and not only focus on his personality disorders. The relationship with British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and his Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Walter Bedell Smith, US Army play an important role in the movie. There are no action sequences in this movie it focuses on the inner workings of SHEAF, Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force which led to a successful invasion on French soil.The movie, of course, focusses on General Eisenhower and the decisions he had to make and the resulting pressure he had to cope with. This is not one of the most well-known movies about the Normandy invasion and it’s rather difficult to imagine Tom Selleck as the mustache-less supreme commander of all allied forces, but somehow he manages to pull it off. Being not a movie but a miniseries and only focusing on the American airborne side, it ends up on the 5th place.
