Another Italian War Movies?


Are there any other Italian war movies like this one? I saw it just a couple of days ago in a screening in Stockholm and was literally blown away but it. Great movie. 10/10.

Then we were on the same place, it seems. Also saw it in Stockholm, thought it would be one of those boring, old, movies. But when i exited out on the street again, i was stunned. And to answer your question; I'm sure you'll find syomething similar but you won't find anything better.

I saw it on the internet, but I too was totally amazed. It's crazy that a movie like this hasn't gained more popularity. Maybe people have prejudices against Italian war dramas? Well, they shouldn't have!

As Italian and a movie-feak, I'm ashamed to tell you that I've never heard about this film except from you Swedes.

I guess it must have had some distribution problem back in its days or must have touched a nerve on some politician/mogul at the time that managed to have it buried, won't be too surprised about the last option.

Anyway try to look for these titles, most much easier to find, no doubt:

"Il federale" > http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054870/

"Tutti a casa" > http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054413/

"Italiani brava gente" > http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059323/

"Uomini contro" > http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066511/

"La grande guerra" > http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0052861/
this film had the opposite fate: well aknowledged masterpiece in Italy, little known abroad

"Roma, citta` aperta" > http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0038890/
the best known of them all

some more recent titles:

"Quel maledetto treno blindato" > http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076584/
a totally different kind but a Tarantino favourite, if that's your sort of thing

"El Alamein" > http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0329042/

"Mediterraneo" > http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102426/
this one is pretty much a comedy, but an oscar winner nevertheless

ciao

Thanks for those tips Professicchio, really kind of you, but I seriously doubt any movie will ever reach the gargantuan amount of excellence that is "Flashback". You will honestly be a whole new person after you've watched this masterpiece, I would recommend you go find a copy at once, whatever it takes.
