The Battle of the Bulge
... I just switched over to this from the tennis, to see a tank battle that is supposedly taking place in the depths of winter in northern Europe.

There is no trace of snow at all in the film's major tank battle scene. Nor were some battle scenes fought in flat and bare territory, considering the mountainous, and forested and grassy nature of the Ardennes. The film was shot on location in Sierra de Guadarrama mountain range and Madrid, Spain.
The film also has a current IMDB ranking of 6.7, which is about, oh, 6.6 too high.

Maybe it would be too expensive to make or something...

The Eastern Front doesn't get much air time in the West. "Enemy at the Gates" helped that somewhat.
