September 16, 201213 yr Well, 68 yrs ago at midday tomorrow the boys of the 1st Airborne Division set off on Operation Market Garden. Shall be able to pay my respects to those who fought and died there in a couple of weeks time. No CGI bilge here.
September 16, 201213 yr Kellys Heros. A Bridge Too far. Zulu Henry V (Olivier's) Ice Staion Zebra (cold war film...... very cold)
September 16, 201213 yr nothing beats platoon. Aye, its a good un. Try watching this one which for me though is the real thing. Dear America, Letters Home From Vietnam has shown only once on bbc but thanks to youtube...... Some of the actors from Platoon, Berenger, DaFoe and Dillon are used to read the letters, powerfull stuff and a great soundtrack as well.

September 17, 201213 yr As already mentioned, Saving private Ryan and Stalingrad. Stalingrad is amazing. So realistic, made by Germans as well
