The Longest Day (1962)
Three directors collaborated to tell the most complete story of D-Day ever filmed, showing Operation Overlord from Allied and German viewpoints. Military advisers who fought in the actual invasion helped recreate the massive amphibious assault. The film uses real locations where possible, including Omaha Beach and Sainte-Mère-Église. An all-star cast including John Wayne and Richard Burton brings historical figures to life.
