He wasn't exactly in peak physical condition at the time! After the 20th July explosion he had aged quite considerably, and I didn't think that Ganz looked particularly fat. Personally I think Bruno Ganz's portrayal was spot on.

Ok. Maybe he should have lost some weight. But some very fine acting.

The Great Escape. It beats 'all'. :P

The great escape? Steve Mc Queen?

I think Patton is the classic, A Bridge too Far is the most ambitious and sweeping, The Bridge at Remagen my favorite for combat and action and Schindler's List the most poignant.

Stalingrad, Das Boot, Cross of Iron (the sequal was rubbish) Band of Brothers for starters.

I would have to go with "Twelve O'Clock High" with Gregory Peck and Dean Jagger. A very good drama (with some humorous moments-especially when Savage chews out Harvey Stovall for stowing away on a Fort for a mission over Germany) that's mature and realistic-a classic.
