sako751sg Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Just a heads up that they have done modern remake of The Dawns Here Are Quiet. Original was good if you are into it but should be an easier watch updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Also, with regards to 'Enemy At The Gates', there's a new film about "Lady Death" - Lyudmila Pavlinchenko - a Russian sniper just released. It has two titles because of the current situation between Russia and Ukraine which did not exist when filming started - it being a joint venture - 'Battle For Stalingrad' and 'Indistructable' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guzzicat Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 The Longest Day. I was at Pegasus bridge 3 years ago on 6th June & walked the Normandy beaches then to church at St Mere Eglise all sites from film . The atmosphere at Pegasus bride as the pipers marched over had to be felt to be believed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saddler Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 The atmosphere at Pegasus bride as the pipers marched over had to be felt to be believed.....luckily when I was first there it was the original bridge. The new one looks almost the same, but without several thousand loose rivets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 I'd forgotten about 'Come and See'. I watched the trailers Beardo linked to and was impressed. I really must make the effort to source a copy. Mate has leant me 'Fury' but haven't watched it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fern01 Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 I love all War films and have a huge collection of over 250 on DVD I might put them on the for sale section if anyone is interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Edwards Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 My favourite land film has to be A Bridge Too Far. The best scene is when the General asks Michael Caine to spearhead the attack into Holland, and Caine's character replies "Well, I've got nothing else planned for this afternoon". It's what being British is all about! I also enjoyed The Thin Red Line, but some of my friends are military history geeks, and they say it is full of errors. Patton isn't bad either. The first 15 minutes of Saving Private Ryan is class, but I'm not keen on the rest of the film. I like the action in Pearl Harbour, but all the love scenes ruin it for me. Das Boot is my favourite sea film. The 4-hour extended version is brilliant to watch on a cold, rainy night, and it doesn't half make you appreciate being at home infront of the fire! The atmosphere when they're at the bottom of the sea is unbelievable! My favourite air film has to be a toss-up between Memphis Belle and The Dambusters. Both are good, but one has a better theme tune than the other! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainBeaky Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Has to be Battle of Britain for me - I went to the premiere at Leicester square with my dad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol p Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 The thin red line, the longest day, fury. Currently watching "generation war" a German mini series similar to band of brothers. It's very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
