What are the best World War 2 movies? Preferably something with a dark tone
my favorites so far have probably been Stalingrad and Come and See. Downfall and Das Boot were fantastic too.

Basically anything that's German. German WWII movies are top-tier.
American ones are 80% shit tier boomer fantasies.
Russian ones are propaganda.
Saw a Hungarian one recently that looked promising.

Fortress of War is largely Russian propaganda trash like points out, but I'm not saying it's not a spectrum. And I know most, probably all war movies made today or ever made are partly propaganda, but that doesn't make them trash. For example, the new Stalingrad (2013) is pure propaganda trash, Fortress of War less so. But you'll best see for yourself, and I did finish Fortress and it was better than staring at a wall. Not so with Stalingrad 2013.
As for the OP I think it's worth it to stretch our definitions and include the second chink-slope war running to 1945, but I'm guessing most people here have already watched City of Life and Death. I enjoyed the Korean My Way (2011), too.
