I'm in my masters History now and I need to write a thesis
My subject is The Battle of the Bulge in fiction movies
currently I have:
- Band of brothers (2001)
- Battle of the Bulge (1965)
- Patton (1970)
- Battleground (1949)
so I need 2 to 5 movies more to really get a good starting point for my thesis
I'm going to search other places as well but I figured no wrong in asking
so can you help me out, I would like to have some that fill the gaps so '70s, '80s or '90s and maybe some none American ones, but everything will help
thanks!

I don't really have any more suggestions beyond what has been given.
What's your thesis? Comparing the movie to the facts..? Maybe you could look for some documentaries too.
Im doing a Masters in History over here in Canada myself, on French Canadians and the First World War.

cool, thanks guys
and BM it's more like I want to investigate how to make a historical fiction that is based on facts work within the boundaries of the medium while using the case of the Battle of the Bulge
and being that I am originally from the aria round Ypres I do know a bit or to about WWI

Thats interesting.. Do you think it can work? I suppose it depends on what boundaries of the medium entails.
You gonna tie it into the concept of war and memory at all? Im a big fan of uhm.. Pierra Nora and the British fellow who wrote Great War and Modern Memory.
