Top worst in recent memory:

Pearl Harbor (Dont bother and watch Tora Tora Tora)
U-571 (Tyring to be Das Boot and winding up as a B action flick)

Had to say. I guess kids might like them, since lots of things blow up.

The Battle Of Britain
The Blue Max

Are not listed often enough, which is odd since AH is an air combat game. Just struck me as odd.

Gallipoli?....its a war movie in the last 10 minutes of the film. Wouldnt make my top 50 even. The remake of All Quiet On the Western Front was a lot better, imho. The Light Horsemen as well, yes.

Cross Of Iron, yes indeed, one of the few movies portraying German infantry on the Russian front, its very good.

It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)
