saving private ryan deserved first place but i agree there was so many videos that were wrongly placed such as von ryans express 88th!

where did enemy at the gates come? love that film.

Weekly...DAILY! cool,does the site have enough updates to keep you happy visiting daily ?

Yep at the moment, mainly cos I still aint viewed all the pics

I think Enemy at the Gates was about 28th...Too low for my liking anywho

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

I liked the movie. I do not think it was one of the greatest but it was good entertainment.

 

[Karbine]

lol i may add more then to keep you hooked

o right 28 yea i would say its about there has nice action in the film.

I would say thats the main thing i love in a war film ACTION! and a good plot and good uniforms and weapons.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

Yeah but the best ones worry more about the hisorical facts then the special effects and action.

 

[Karbine]

have you noticed in war films after saving private ryan they all try to copy the same type of flow,like saving private ryan had the camera angles all wobbley and bullets flying past,films like black hawk down etc have gone for that view too.

Im not saying its bad because they are great films just quite funny to see them copying each other.

It's a revolution in war movie making that's why. It gives the feel of it being an action camera man instead of a movie camera man. It's hand held cameras, it wasn't first used in Saving Private Ryan.

I agree that films need historical accuracy, but there does need to be sufficient action to keep me hooked. On one end of the scale, Pearl Harbour. Dreadful Film in all respects. Then lets take the Dambusturs, a Great film but I can help but think that Id like it more if there was more action.

It gives the feel that you are in the middle of conflict. They portray it well but nothing is like the real thing.

Pearl Harbor is the worst of them all.

I like films are are set in a period, ie world war 2, but have a false plot that never happened. This means that the Director can reall show it pretty much how he wants without really having to worry about full on accuracy. A good example of this is the Dirty Dozen, which is a great film.

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

I agree great film

 

[evangilder]

Dirty Dozen was great. I love that one. I also enjoyed "The Eagle Has Landed". I'd recommend that one.

 

[cheddar cheese]

Yeah thats good too. Got a copy of it free with a newspaper recently

 

[Karbine]

What you think of new site logo?

 

[DerAdlerIstGelandet]

The longest day was great. I love classics. Even I agree The Eagle has landed was great, the book was awesome too.

 

[Karbine]

windtalkers was a nice film too has some superb camera work and action. Do i remember right that the longest day was a long war film like 3hrs long?

 

[cheddar cheese]
