Poll Sug: Best Movie Depicting An Actual Historical Event Or Person Of World War 2.
Even though the list page has not been created yet, I thought that with U.S.A. 's Memorial Day holiday weekend coming up and the release of Christopher Nolan's "Dunkirk" also coming up, it be appropriate to do a poll about films depicting actual events or persons of World War 2 even though some are highly fictionalized.
The page is at http://www.imdb.com/list/ls069400268/... and I just added to it right now.

Also World War II is listed as such, not World War 2. And IMDb doesn't like periods at the end of suggestion titles.
Question: Why are you including the Best Years of Our Lives? While Harold Russell and Homer Parish both lost their hands in the war, there is no indication that the film was based on him at all. Additionally, Russell was in the Army while Parish was in the Navy.
There are more of your options that appear to have the same issue as above.

I found this old suggestion of yours. If you wish, you could update the poll text and occasion.
1 September 2019 marks 80 years since the start of World War II.
Please also adjust the title capitalization, and perhaps make it a bit shorter:
Best Movie Depicting a Historical Event or Person of World War II
