Saw Ice Cold in Alex yesterday- still a classic! Don't know what it is with Channel 4 these days, but they're showing at least one classic war film a week. Last week it was Went the Day Well?. Long may it continue!
Bought me a 3 hour document by BBC on Dunkirk a while ago ( done 2001 I recall ). Should be great. I´ll check it tonight. PS. That´s 15K then...
That sounds good Kai! I just bought "The Great Escape", for 5 bucks! What a deal! Watching that tonight with my Dad!
Has anyone come across the 21 DVD set called The Second World War? I can only find volumes 1-5 on eBay thru US sellers......... all others are UK and are Region 2....
I know that this is not a WW2 flick, but I watched Rocky Mountain the other night, the one with Errol Flynn. He plays a Confederate cavalry captain leading a small detachment to California to assist an uprising of pro-Confederate insurrectionists there. I don't believe the movie was based on historical fact, but I liked it anyway. It's been 35+ years since seeing it last, and all I remembered of it was the final fight in box canyon. It was as good as I remembered it to be. Plenty of character developement, and good action throughout, thought it does tend to drag in the middle. Sometimes old movies are a pleasure to watch, no outrageous CGI, no cliff-hangers, plot holes and silly plots to deal with.
Saw Battle of the Bulge today, good entertainment but historically well you all know. I forgot how fanatic Robert Shaw was in this, wow he would have made a great Waffen SS officer the way he was going on.
Some folk do John Wayne, some do Johnny Depp...I can gladly watch any Errol Flynn movie, forget the incacuracies or whatever, the uniform errors, the but they werent in that theatre of operations or whatever, I just like Errol Flynn movies. You know what your getting with his movies and its flipping good entertainment.
