The Thin Red Line: beautiful movie with outstanding cinematography and I am a huge fan of some of Terrence Malicks work. But I’d say if someone is “In the mood for WW2” it wouldnt necessarily be my first recommendation. Really creates its own mood.
Fury: if I remember correctly more gritty and you get action straight from the start. Also it’s based in Europe so you get the US vs Germany setting.
Hacksaw ridge: you get the full arc from training to getting deployed building up to the finale. Also it’s the Pacific war theater so you get the US vs Japan setting.
Really depends on what you are looking for. But ofc there are also plenty of other movie options depending on what you are looking for and haven’t seen yet. There are just so many movies out there with WW2 setting that capture different aspects, locations and events.
I’ve seen all 3, but it’s been a while:
