Knowing Michael Bay, every Pacific fleet blew up, Force Z blew up, Tokyo blew up, Washington D.C blew up, even Michael Bay himself blew up. Don't forget the epic music in the background  And Yamamoto slowly walking and putting sunglasses on after blowing up Hawaii all by himself. |

In my opinion, the absolute best Holocaust film is "Life is Beautiful" Half of the film is not even about the Holocaust, it takes place in 1930's Italy, and centers around a man named Guido who gets romantically involved with a woman. The first half is a sort of Romantic Comedy, one especially funny scene being a date where Guido prays to the Virgin Mary for things in front of her. By the end of the first half, they become married and have a son named Joshua. At the start of this second half, you know something is different. When Guido bikes his wife to the school where she teaches at and goes to work, you see a store say "No Jews or Dogs allowed" Men in uniforms patrol the streets of Italy. Later that day, german soldiers come into Guido's bookstore and they end up taking Joshua, Guido and Guido's uncle. They are sent to a train. His wife (just btw, his wife is actually never given an actual name, Guido only ever refers to her as Princepesa, which is Princess) finds out and goes to the train station where they are sent. She tells the officer there there has been a mistake, to which the officer replies that everyone on the train is jewish. She then demands to get on the train with her family. After multiple demands, they let her on the train.
When they get to the camp, the men and women are separated, meaning that Guido and his wife are separated, and his uncle is sent to a separate part as well, meaning that Guido only has his son. Guido knows that they are there to be killed, but he also knows his son doesn't. So what he does is make the camp seem like a game to his son so as to make it tolerable for his son. On the first day of entering the camp, the German SS Officer asks if any one of the Italians in the camp knows German, to which Guido raises his hand, despite not knowing German. When the German officer starts talking, Guido says stuff like "The first to win 1000 points wins a tank" and "No whining or you're disqualified" and "Don't ask for snacks, you won't get them" to make his son believe its all a game. And he continues this act for the rest of the film, all the way to the end. Watch the movie, its truly a tremendous pice of cinema.

When the Italians were allied with Germany, no they did not, but once the Italians capitulated a day the Germans came in, Italian Jews were at much risk of being killed as French or Belgian Jews. The latter half of the film takes place in 1943/44. |

I don't know if you could call them history movies but pretty much almost everything done by Yılmaz Güney.
