ALL TIME FAVORITE WAR MOVIE THREAD!

[The Jagdflieger Pips]

I can't believe I forgot A Bridge too Far. I love that movie.

Pearl Harbor wasnt really good because of that stupid Ben Afleck and his love.

Tora Tora Tora is better than Pearl Harbor!

One more vote for Tora, Tora, Tora! At least they stuck to the subject.

Almost afraid to ask, but anyone see "Hanover Street"? I rented it just to see the B-25's. Chris Plummer was OK, but the rest of the movie is the same premise as "Titanic" and "Pearl" (soap opera).

If you wanted to see B25's, you should have rented "Catch-22"



Hanover Street stunk!

 

[Nonskimmer]

I remember that now! Yeah, Christopher Plummer was alright in it, but god! It was like a soap opera alright!

 

[Lou IV]

If you wanted to see B25's, you should have rented "Catch-22" Hanover Street stunk!

Actually I did! But I wanted to see more B-25's!

"Catch-22" (1970) - that is the almost definitive B-25 movie!
(and who can forget Paula Prentiss Olimpia Carlisi as "Luciana" in very revealing roles)

The only movie which shows more is "Thirty Seconds over Tokyo" (1944).
Now that's THE B-25 movie, especially since it features the older
(and these days rarer) early B-25's with the upper turret in the
BACK of the fuselage, and the small, prone tail-gunner's position.

Anyone know when "30 seconds over Tokyo" will be released on DVD in the States?

 

[P38 Pilot]

Cool!

I quite like "A Matter of Life and Death" 8) Tora, Tora, Tora, Patton, BoB, 633 Squadron, Dambusters, An Appointment in London and dare I say PEARL HARBOR

*loads his over-sized novelty cannon* What was that? You liked Pearl Harbor?

 

[Hot Space]

Only the battle scene at the end though, although my wife likes all of it for some strange reason. Not really into War Movies, but she likes this (Love Story at the start) and A Matter of Life and Death (Ghosts, Afterlife, David Niven and a Love Story )

[plan_D]

Oh look at that, you made me get all excited and load my cannon. I never know where to put it after I've loaded it. I always get a slap.

 

[Hot Space]

So you know my wife then lol

Woman - I couldn't eat a whole one

Hot Space

 

[plan_D]

Nor could I ...but I always try to. Way too many have been left out in the Sun too long, I think. Maybe it's just the ones I buy.

 

[Hot Space]

You shouldn't buy 'em m8. Just nick 'em from the local corner shop, that way if you're disapointed you haven't lost anything.............apart from your socks that is

[plan_D]

Last time I did that I woke up with my scrotum stapled to my thigh ...and I distinctly remember leaving her outside. Odd...

 

[Hot Space]

That's strange because I had my thigh stapled to my scrotum............felt ok actually

Hot Space

 

[plan_D]

Did you forget to put the toilet seat down?

Oh wait...being you it was self-inflicted, wasn't it? I have to say ...it was a new experience. Can't say I enjoyed it personally but one man's meat is another man's thigh stapled to their scrotum.

 

[Hot Space]

Not really into another mans meat and all those rumours are lies.............well most anyway

Hot Space

 

[plan_D]

That's funny, I was just going to say the same thing.

 

[Hot Space]

See everyone hates me

Hot Space

 

[plan_D]

And I hate everyone. It seems to me we're complete opposites.
