War movie

[rocketmanbkk]

Been some good war films over the years

What's your favourite/s?

Mine are platoon & bridge on the river Kwai

 

[clarky101]

One you may of missed is Days of Glory which is a really good one about ww2 & how the French listed North Africans into their army.... Well worth watching...

 

[rocketmanbkk]

Great shouts.

Black hawk down and first half hour in particular of saving private Ryan. Both great action but enough to scare the cr@p out of you and give you a healthy respect of our military to say the least.

[hammers4spanner]

Fairly accurate to be fair..

 

[missplumb]

these are two of my favourite war films, and Saving Private Ryan

Dambusters. It's off its time, but it's true and makes you think about inventors like Barnes Wallis and the brave blokes that went out on the bombers. Nothing beats the old British films.
Love the bit in the film where Barnes Wallis asked a top brass for use of a Wellington bomber for testing the bouncing bombs and got the reply, - What reason would I give for them to loan you a Wellinton as we need every one as they are vital to the war effort?
Barnes replied, - Would it perhaps help if you mentioned to them that I designed the Wellington bomber?
