Sheesh Devil.  Way to ruin the movie for everyone.  That's the longest movie trailer ever and gives everything away.

It reminds me of standing in line for the movie "Titantic" with my wife.  I told her, "I hope the part where the ship sinks doesn't look to cheesy with the CG", and a couple of 20 year old's in line behind us said, "The ship sinks ?!?!?!".

Why make a film about a defeat  :old:

Field Marshall Bernard Montgomery stated soldiers wearing Dunkirk badges was nothing to be proud of, he was the only commander to get his unit home in a orderly manner.

Normandy was a Victory👍

Dunkirk was only a defeat for the defeated just as Normandy was only a victory for the victorious.

Saw this trailer this morning,  looks pretty good.

Im guessing here,  but I doubt it will hit American theaters. Us colonials might have to wait for DVD.

I highly doubt that since it's a Nolan film.

I hope you're right.  :aok

I'll probably have to drive to a major market to see it anyway.

watched them filming some dogfights for this over lee-on-solent this afternoon. 

Got buzzed by 2 spits at 50 feet.   Scared the crap out of me when I wasn't looking their way.   Looked like they were doing circle fights with a yellow nose 109.   Helicopter and plane was filming it all.   At least the footage will be real.   :aok

Tom hardy and harry styles star.   AH will be swamped with one direction fans after this hits the big screen.     :bolt:

My great uncle Jack was shot twice during the war.  Once on the beach at Dunkirk and 2 weeks into D-day by a german sniper.   He lived though.

My little cousin said she saw it before suicide squad so that certainly bodes well for US theaters. Problem is I live in WV...  Pittsburgh is the closest market for me that shows films that might not makecit locally.

Operation "Dynamo" May 27 - June 4, 1940 was one of the wins for England.  Had the men trapped at Dunkirk not escaped (337000 men) England may well have fallen right after Belgium, France and the Netherlands.  By securing an army that could be rearmed to defend the homeland, England ensured their survival.  I suggest you read "The Historical Atlas of World War II" by the brothers Alexander and Malcolm Swanston.  Patton was right about Montgomery.  Would have been interesting to hear Monty's thinking of "Operation Marketgarden",  one of the greatest military blunders of WWII.  That was his baby all the way.

I have got all of Montgomery's books first additions.

I don't read historical atlas's or books with pictures.

Patton was a loose cannon who had no time for the British, causing Eisenhower immense trouble.

Patton was feared by the Germans though.

So Montgomery and the British were not effective in WWII

I suggest you read a book without pictures

Good for you.

I read all kinds of books, with and without pictures.  I’ve found over the years that atlas’s are generally unbiased .

Like you, I’ve read several of Montgomery’s books, he was his greatest fan, just like Patton.

Patton was a loose cannon who had no time for the British, causing Eisenhower immense trouble.

Who cares, Eisenhower used him when he needed him.

Patton was feared by the Germans though.
Not sure “ feared”  is the right term. 

So Montgomery and the British were not effective in WWII

Where exactly do you think I made such a statement?

I suggest you read a book without pictures

Why the attitude ?

Insulting Bernard Law Montgomery.

Mark W Clark do you want to talk about that clown.

McArthur wasting US lives in taking the Philipines for no strategic reasons only for his vanity

Why the attitude?

Insulting Bernard Law Montgomery.

I didn’t insult anyone.  I pointed out a fact.  Montgomery was responsible for “MarketGarden” a total failure .


Why the attitude?

I was questing your attitude

Monty was the cause on many unnecessary Canadian deaths. Instead of taking the Scheldt and opening the port of Antwerp, he put the resources he had into his Operation Market-Garden.

His dillydallying allowed the Germans to prepare defenses in the Scheldt. This resulted in the delayed opening of the much needed port of Antwerp needed for shortening the supply lines.

From your original posting:

I am questioning your attitude are you a person in authority?

Montgomery was his favourite fan?

Off course he was these type of people need to be.

Don't know anyone historical figure who writes about the mistakes they made?

That's for others to do.

Ok Montgomery was useless and UK did nothing to defend democracy

Why is everything with you so hostile?  The only postings stating that " Montogomery  was useless and the UK did nothing to defend democracy" is all you Zack, I never wrote anything like that.  you opened this can of worms with your opening statement.  I'm done, enjoy the ride. bye.
