Breast fortress

I think that's an entirely different kind of movie Derick........

[Paul D]

It's easiest for me to just name the ones I don't like, in no particular order, so here goes....

ESCAPE TO VICTORY- Sylvester Stallone saves the day, Michael Caine admitted he needed the money.

WIND TALKERS- Damned from the start by having Nicholas Cage as the lead killing Japs at 400 metres firing a Thompson with one hand whilst dragging a moaning 'native american' around with the other. Toss.

ESCAPE FROM ATHENA- David, what were you thinking??

PEARL HARBOR- A love story with a bit of fighting in it. Ben Affleck couldn't act his way out of a paper bag. Utter crap.

THE SOUND OF MUSIC- Julie Andrews and a bunch of kids singing, no battles, explosions, derring do or other warlike stuff. Pants.

ANYTHING WITH MEL GIBSON IN IT- Brit bashing anti semite scumbag. I could almost forgive him 'Gallipoli' if it wasn't for him insisting the script be changed to a British officer ordering the fatal charge. In truth it was an Australian officer.

U-571- Pure Hollywood fantasy as usual. By the time the Americans captured Enigma, the Germans were giving them away if you bought 10 litres of petrol. And John Bon Jovi, what's all that about?? Pump.

I am now taking cover....

Can't disagree with any of that Ned !!

Here is my list. I added a middle category of "OK films" or it would have been too long...

Movies I like
A Bridge Too Far
The Steel Bayonet
Das Boot
The Longest Day
Where Eagles Dare
Valkyrie
The Hill
The Dawn Patrol (the 1930 version with Douglas Fairbanks Jr is better than the 1938 one with Errol Flynn, but both are great versions of the same film)
The Wooden Horse
Aces High
The Great Escape
The Train
Western Approaches (Nice as it was filmed with real Merchant Navy veterans in all roles)
I also like Target for Tonight for the same reason

Movies that were OK
Saving Private Ryan
Band of Brothers
The Pacific
Schindler´s List
The Battle of Britain
Patton
The Dirty Dozen
Force 10 from Navarone
The Guns of Navarone
Tora! Tora! Tora!

Shit
The Battle of El Alamein (1969) (My vote for worst ever war film)
Pearl Harbor
Battle of the Bulge
Enemy at The Gates
Big Red One
Kelly's Heroes
A Yank in the RAF
Windtalkers

Nothing too controversial I fancy
