Movies you wish they'd make
« on: June 07, 2005, 06:06:54 PM »
While going over the USS Constitution thread I was thinking on how the story of that ship would make a good movie.

And even better one would be John Paul Jones And the Bonhomme Richard
 Culminating with the fight against the HMS Serapis where he uttered the now famous words "I have not yet begun to fight"

Would make a GREAT movie I think.

Another good one would be the story of the the Donner Party

The Donner Party

"The Donner Party was the most famous tragedy in the history of the westward migration.  Almost ninety wagon train emigrants were unable to cross the Sierra Nevada before winter, and almost one-half starved to death."

What stories would you like to see made into movies?

Rise and Fall of the Luftwaffe
The Mighty 8th
Cactus Air Force

Basically a WWII fighter pilot's movie with the great sound and visuals of Saving Private Ryan.

a WWII air battle movie about the whole eastern front and battle over berlin, concentrating on all sides, have 1 star for allieds, 1 star for LW, 1 star for russia.

swap between the stories, have the allied guy be a pony ace, LW a 190 ace (or Hartman), and the russian ace be an il2 pilot or yak pilot.

have it done in the fasion of "enemy at the gates" showing both sides (well all three sides) but not necessarily them fighting each other.

start the movie around 1943, and go forward in history until hitler dies.



it would be a 3 hour epic at least, but well worth it.

NO major CGI 500 plane battles like bravehart did with the soldiers... just good small or medium dogfights / occasional bomber escort, and attack. spend some time developing the charecters, and some flashbacks to them growing up, and show the similarities, like going hunting with their dad for the first time or something.

NO romantic interestes, except maybe an occasional flirtation with a nurse or something.

end the movie with them all old, thinking back to the war, they all survived.

maybe show the LW pilot not agreeing with the nazi agenda, and being torn between defending his country, and protesting the holocaust.
I don't know what to put here yet.

Who starred in it... Calista Flockhart?




The movie I'd like to see made is a farm animal adult video starring Howard Dean and Hillary Clinton.

A film about the battle of Kohima  

or perhaps a film about Adrian Warburton  (i really recommend people to read his biography "Warburton's war")
"Willy's gone and made another,
Something like it's elder brother-
Wing tips rounded, spinner's bigger.
Unbraced tailplane ends it's figure.
One-O-nine F is it's name-
F is for futile, not for fame."
