Deny everything Baldrick.

[Elysium]

[The Pastor]

[The Pastor]

300 was a cool war movie too

[Pogo2]

Cant remember its name but its about a russian sniper at Stalingrad - "Enemy at the Gate" or something like that rings a bell or summat!

Anyone know when Peter Jackson's Dambusters is coming out?

[MisterD]

Did PJ resolve the issue of the dog's name yet? If they change it, I ain't watching the film...

Anyhoo, how could I forget "Hannibal Brookes"...Oliver Reed and an Elephant, they just don't make films like that anymore...

[pzkpfw]

Maybe not "the best" or "favourite" but both worth watching, and not yet (I think) listed:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_Night_(2002_film)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Midnight_Clear

(Some similarities...)

[Mom]

Cheesy as hell now but it is a must see :D

[Toaster]

Good old Blackadder goes forth... not a movie but one of the most amusing comedy war series I've ever seen.

Shame the so called "complete series" was only 6 episodes from each series - they missed out some classics.




Deny everything Baldrick.

[peasea]

I'm with you on that one. Although perhaps they could add an 's' on the front and we can all have a laugh.

[peasea]

Arrrggghh! 'Nidge' just sucks.

[Dave Lobster]

The one with the grammar school accents from middle England, pretending to be Russians? One of the few films I should have walked out of half way. German sniper stands up and gives away his position. Insulting script.


Anyone know when Peter Jackson's Dambusters is coming out?

Has ANY remake ever been any good?


Cross Of Iron. Mainly due to a good part of the movie that used real T-34/85s firing live ammunition.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OW4LqDDNrs

Was that the one that used american tanks and pretended they were Tigers? That was confusing..
Look at all those Tigers..

WHERE??

[george formby]

Murphy's War, I believe.

Edit.. yep, tis :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murphy%27s_War

It was about a u-boat. Doh!

[P38]

1 Guns of Navarone
2 Battle of Britten
3 633 Squadron
4 Bridge over the River Kwai

War movies are great.

Wars pretty much suck.

[george formby]

Starship troopers.

An accurate masterpiece.

[Elysium]

Was that the one that used american tanks and pretended they were Tigers? That was confusing..

No. That movie was a Russian remake of the batle of Kursk. This movie is an Ameican and German production. Did you not play the video?

[Dave Lobster]

Have we got a video?

[EJK]

The Bridge on the River Kwai
Tora Tora Tora
Blue Max
Battle of Midway
Gallipoli
Apocalypse Now
Schindler's List
The Great Escape
Platoon
Patton

Just a few here. In no particular order.

[george formby]

Battle of the Bulge.

[Skyryder]

TO HELL AND BACK. The true story of Audy Murphy. America’s most decorated WW2 soldier. Bit dated by today’s standards.

THE BRIDGE AT REMAGEN.

COCKLESHELL HEROES’ Who remembers this one??

FROM HERE TO ETERNITY. Worth a look just for Montgomery Cliff. There’s always been a bit of a rumour that the part on the Godfather where Johnny Fontain seeks the help of the don to get the picture part to restart his career was based on this film and Frank Sinatra.

PT109. The supposedly true story of JFK at war. Torpedo boat stuff.

RUN SILENT RUN DEEP. Still a classic sub movie and the one that got me into submarine movies. Das Boot etc.

12 O’CLOCK HIGH.


THE ENEMY BELOW.

Oldies and dated still in their time.

THE LONGEST DAY was one of the best war movies made. Would have been better without John Wayne.

[Chooky]

Yer Murphy's war...
Peter O"Toole's one man war against a German submarine with a Gruman Duck.
Probably from the late 60's.
Excellent movie... you'll find it on Trademe......

[geoffm]

The Boat (Das Boot) - very well down and powerful Uboat film

[98tls]

The Boat (Das Boot) - very well down and powerful Uboat film

Agreed,great movie.Saving private Ryan was a fucking comedy,i turned it off when the American guy lent on a wall which caved in resulting in a standoff,all the Germans perished:tugger:Load of shite,almost as bad as "enemy at the gate",Hollywood made a movie based on factual events that never actually happened,the supposed sniper that emerged unscathed from a few hundred bullets was long ago discovered to be nothing more than propaganda to raise flagging morale.

[Skyryder]

+1 for hamburger, the original and best vietnam movie, blows platoon out of the water

Sorta liked GOOD MORNING VIETNAM with Robin Williams.

I think you'll find it was "The Albino". A movie about a nasty white supremacist.

[Big Dave]

[UberRhys]

Isn't that from the Young Ones? Not really a war movie, although an important part of your television comedy education...
