The wife and I just finished Anatomy of a Scandal, NET Flix

Meh. Fictional British Cabinet Minister caught in a sex scandal. Only 6 episodes so I decided to stick with it. Watching Sienna Miller and Michele Dockery in the female leads certainly helped get through it, though every time I heard MD utter a foul word I couldn

Well I recognize some of these since my wife is the fiction reader in the house. Without getting up and peeking at the bookshelf here

I agree with Bill in that Band of Brothers, although a mini-series, was the ultimate WWII movie.

Overall, this is a hard topic in that, there were many movies based on WWII that weren't 'action/fighting movies'. like Casablanca and Schindler's List which would head any of my lists of WWII-based movies. Also I would include Caine Mutiny and Mr. Roberts and even Stalag 17

If we are talking 'combat' type movies, Saving Pvt Ryan has to appear at #1 or about, just for sheer realism. After that, I go with
A Walk In The Sun (if you've never seen this one, do so, it is great)
Dirty Dozen
Bridge on the River Kwai
Patton
Kelley's Heros
Run Silent, Run Deep
12 O'Clock High
And one of my all-time favorites, Sahara with Bogey (again, if you haven't seen this one. do so immediately)

Maybe it's me, but movies like The Longest Day, which was very good, was just a vehicle to put all of those 'older' Hollywood stars into a movie. After that, well not on my list.

Those are just for starters.

Agree with you on Longest Day. I remember liking Das Boot when it first came out even though it featured the bad guys

Quite a few like Guadalcanal Diary and Sands of IWork Jima

But I have to say my two favorites are Saving Private Ryan and The Darkest Hour

You sound like you have read Connelly. Bosch is actually the main character in most of Connelly's series and Haller is just an old friend of his who ended up getting a few novels written just for him. Both are good characters and I had thought about Bosch showing up in Lincoln Lawyer, but he didn't. They are planning a second series, but there hasn't been a release date yet so who knows when it will hit the screen again. I'm hoping they work Bosch into the future Lincoln Lawyer series and it would be interesting to see who they cast for the role. The Bosch series seemed to miss the mark to me in the casting

Actually, Haller and Bosch are half-brothers   In at least one of the books, Bosch does work for Haller as an investigator
