Good post by DeJaVu...

Its true the US saved the UK twice... only because Churckhills mother was a yank..it certainly wasn't for the food.... It looks like anyone with a 17% VAT tax needs saving again....

mx22,

I know about using the proper plane thing does not make the movie BUT!! All I got to say is go read last months issue of Classic Aviation and u will understand.  FOR ONCE they are making a real effort to follow history and having the real deal planes makes a difference to the aviation buff because its goning to be the aviation buffs that are goning to be the most critical of the movie.  Granted there will be the typical Hollywood markup on it but...THIS is going to WORTH the money no matter what the critics say.  
THANKS for the news leak SUPERFLY!!!

As far as the movie Private Ryan goes, get over it. Just because "Tommy" wasnt featured in it wasnt a slight, it was a story about Americans, our fathers and grandfathers did fight there didnt they?

Sorry for the offtopic post. This steams me for some reason

Excuse me, I certainly appreciate every effort that was done to defeat the nazi regime, but there should be drawn a solid line between history and hollywood. History is a long gone time. Hollywood is there to make money, and acknowledging this doesn't mean to ignore history.

The graphics on the swarm of planes makes me sick, its too bright and clotty.

What really saddens me about the pro-US films is that now almost all WWI vets are dead. We still have that final bit of a chance to make meaningful films about WWII, one that conveys just what it was like using the accounts of vets, but it's never going to happen   Das Boot was really hard-hitting for me, a great dramatization of what the experience of being on a U-boat was like.. but Hollywood is just content to screw around with history - not just other countries' history, but their own, US history - and fairly soon these films are going to be one of the main sources of information kids have about WWII left - they won't be able to talk to their uncles or grandparents about their experiences like we have. I've never been much of a nationalist, I just think that it's a huge pity that we're missing this opportunity to impress on many kids just what the hell and conditions of WWII were.

Still, nice enough clip..

Quite true Duma, the sad thing is that kids will grow up thinking that the films are true to what really happened and that actual history is pure fiction.  But it seems the usual trend that US films distort the truth just to get more US viewing figures.  It's just a sad part of real life these days.  They'll have the American's defeating the Romans next...

Hey what is Hollywood doing? Those people really know how to screw up history and I am outraged!
We all know it was the Germans that bombed Pearl Harbor... FOOD FIGHT!

I've seen this movie.  I do believe it was the Russians that destroyed the world.

Oh... and:

Yep DejaVu, it was Ambassador de Sadeski who operated the signalling device to launch a nuclear strike on the US once he realized that the "mine shaft gap" was not in the USSR's favor.

I think if you limeys and other furriners don't like US movies, you shouldn't watch them.  Lord knows I try not to watch limey movies!

Jimbear i can understand why this gets you steamed..i thought saving private ryan was a great 'film' and i watched it as such.
lets remember our grandfathers fought together and would have ALL laughed at hollywood film portrayal of the war.even ones made during/at the end of the war
THEY ARE FILMS NOT DOCUMENTRIES REWRITING HISTORY!!  
i love the yanks just as long as they leave our women alone  

[-towd_]

hell now dont be so hard on the limeys .they die in droves in every war till we get around to realizing we really have to help.

 they stood up to the germans when they could have made a truce and were gonna fight them to the death.

hell if it happend again we are in, not the john waynes and such but the sons of squeakes like me who fight in wars in other peoples countrys started by yet another country. and then go home to wait to send their sons to the next one to die.ad infintum
