The Pacific is out later this year. Spielberg and Hanks again and is pretty much Band of Brothers but in the Pacific. Can't wait! Also Bridge on the River Kwai, haven't survivors said that films no where near accurate?

I had to check Wikipedia because I couldnt remember them all. There is more.

I saw this other one that was about these Germans about to eliminate these Yankies in the snow, but the Yanks do a runner and meet up with a Pommy piolet and they make their way through the German lines and get rescued some how (The Pom dies).

I cant rember how it ends, I wish I could.

I like these movies because they are war movies (suprisingly) and they have killing and explosions and fighting.

Why else would I like them?

Just noticed that, My apologies and a hasty edit.

Also, did you know that mosquito squadron was mostly rec-cut footage from 633?

I did yes, most of the end (where they bomb the valley thing) is the same. I picked up on that when I watched a the disc box set I picked up from Asda for £4.... it had A Bridge To Far, 633 and Mosquito Squadron in it.

I can't say I've watched many war films really, none that are particularly notable anyway.

Recently though I've watched Defiance and Valkyrie which were both excellent films. I definitely recommend them.

Defiance actually gave me a lump in my throat at one point, pretty emotive stuff. :$

All about Band of Brothers for me - even if it is more of a series than a film. Really captures the emotions of it all, and how hard the war actually was.

Apart from that:

-Saving Private Ryan

-Full Metal Jacket

-Dambusters (of course...)
