"In 1993 the Germans made a movie about the 1942 Battle of Stalingrad—a bloody turning point in the vast, apocalyptic German invasion of the Soviet Union. The film is called, simply, Stalingrad. In 2013 the Russians also made a movie about Stalingrad and also called it, well, Stalingrad. One of the two flicks is an anti-war masterpiece that boldly inverts the tropes of war movies and, in doing so, captures the chilly, Hellish reality of one of history's most awful armed clashes

I guess the Russians had seen Pearl harbour and figured that was the way to do it since that was also successful whilst being dreadful. I've got the German film and it is quite good, but to be fair there is a female "interest" in it as well. |

Saw the German version, great movie. Saw the trailer for the Russian film and it looked good, but after reading that review, I think it might have to be a Netflix choice. I liked "Enemy at the Gates". Not a great film, but entertaining to watch. |

I too like Enemy at the Gates, as well as the book
Would like to see these other films. Like maybe on the History Channel if they can fit it in between the pawn brokers, junk pickers, swamp gater hunters, etc.

I know the Russian movie is going to be pretty bad BUT it is Stalingrad in 3D on an Imax screen

More likely that the movies would show up on the Military Channel than the History Channel at this point. |

You can see the Russian one on YouTube but without subtitles. I think the review is a little harsh. While it is not the German quality it is better than some I have seen. Enemy at the Gate is better than it though
