LSP_Mike Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 The Winter War was good, gave a good view of the war, and imbalance of power. Kokoda was also well done. One of the least known stories of the Pacific war. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were it not for Dive Bomber and a spread of Enterprise pics in LIFE Magazine, we wouldn't know exactly what a lot of the planes actually looked like in the livery and setting of the time. Here are some stills from the film that I've collected over the years: coogrfan, scvrobeson, Tnarg and 5 others 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutik Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 All of the above and Panfilov's 28 man - great battle szenes with tanks and a Stuka Ivan's childhood - full of poetry, if you ever can say this about a war movie Come and see - graphic, shocking and cruel about what happened to civilians in WW2, but very impressive in his own way Regards - dutik mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scvrobeson Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 And without Dive Bomber, we'd still go with the thought that all pre-war aircraft were painted silver inside. And it was out of print for so long that people had forgotten about the Interior Green all over the planes. Matt mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastzx Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Crosses of Iron peckinpaugh’s only war movie Tora, Tora. Tora if only for the sequence of the 1:1 scale radio controlled take off run of a P-40 that goes wrong. Bridges at Toko Ri love the world famous golden dragons Panther Jets Green Berets John Wayne - lots of war movies Full Metal Jacket like two movies in one R Lee Ermey - “I don’t know but I’ve been told...... mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dennismcc Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Don't hit me with them negative waves so early in the morning. Think the bridge will be there and it will be there, one of my favourites. The big one for me is "The Longest Day" what a cast. I thought about it when we did a Normandy battlefield tour which was a surprise 60th birthday present from my wife especially when we visited the church of Sainte-Mère-Eglise The other ones that stick in my mind from when I was a great deal younger were all the John Wayne films, I would probably find them terrible now so I will not watch them but I have fond memories of them Cheers Dennis mpk and MikeC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanG Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Battle of Britain Enemy at the Gates Saving Private Ryan (the first 20 mins) TV show but, Band of Brothers (ETO) was and is still classic too. Even though there were a few inaccuracies with some of the cast storylines (Albert Blithe). I regularly watch the dvd set i have. mpk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
