'Shot through the Heart'. Heavily based on a true story and taking place in a war that a lot of people have tried very hard to 'ignore away'. I don't care much for most 'war movies'. Too much 'inspirational' music and too many 'happy' or 'heroic' endings. A Bridge Too Far is the type that is the exception - they tell the story of what really happened and don't try to 'sugarcoat' things. This movie is in the same class but far more relevant in terms of 'modern relevance'.

Stalingrad!  

One of my favorites too, very human treatment of a vastly inhuman battle. :)

Isn't that from Hamburger Hill?


If you want to see an EXCELLENT WWII film watch "Decision Before Dawn" (1951). I'm surprised this film was never remade.

One of the best war movies I've ever seen is
"Das Boot" Nothing romantic about that.

Winter war

Epic 3-4 hour Finnish movie about the winter war (surprise). One of the best warmovies I've ever seen. Probably THE best until SPR arrived.

"Go Tell the Spartans"

It was a vietnam movie that Bert Lancaster did.

Different point of view on the war for the time.

Too late the Hero with Michael Caine. Quite a film. Did anyone see it?

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)

Curv, my favorite line from Heartbreak Ridge was a drunken Clint in the jail cell: "You can run me, you can beat me, you can shoot me...Just don't BORE me!" :D
