LOL, so that why you like AH? Hispano-lasers and niki-saucers? LOL

I like the grittier movies rather than the hollywood (50s-70s style particulary) polished ones. the trend seems to be moving that direction though. SPR and BoB being prime examples of gritty and modern. I liked Midway and A bridge too far for their overall historical detail and accuracy, I saw the former in sensarround during the 70s. The Big Red One blended the surreal, the horrific, and the comedic very well I thought. I haven't seen anyone mention the Battle of The Bulge, it was okay if you could get past all those grey painted M60s (:D) and the song "Panzer Leid" is still in my brain over 25 years later from it. But Telly Savalas and "Dano" from the TV shows were distracting.

Das Boot and The Beast are my favorite foreign war movies. Was ABTF a British film? If so add it to that list.

How about "Hell in the Pacific"? Don't see it that often on TV, but a really good movie.

"The Great Escape"
"BoB"
First and last scene in SPR always gets to me.
"No Man is an Island"(haven't seen this one in years)

Aha!! TY I've been trying to remember where i'd seen that. Now i can get it for my bros, I knew it existed, and it wasn't just the medication.

While we're on the weird, how about the scene in Heavy Metal, with the B17, hehe. That swamp area with all the crashed planes and Zombies, looks alot like the last 3 Knight fields before a reset.

Memphis Belle is also a good WWII movie. I love how they had the whole movie in the B17

i said i dont like watching ww2 movies...i dont like playing space type games, the fights are boring, its either tell the computer to fire the phasers at full charge for 5 seconds on that there clinton errr klingon or point your x wing in the general direction of the enemy  and press fire...

i have only flown a niki once...and that lasted about 3 minutes...and i cant hit anything with anything outside of d400

If it was realistic it would have been called "mundane ordinary stories"
