Oh absolutely Hollywood had their fun with it. Still, you tell yourself that crap like that probably did go down and they kept fighting. Even if it is highly fictional it is still a good movie. The Belle's last run wasn't nearly that dramatic but what kind of money would that movie make?

I enjoyed the film 8) I think with some films, even if they are totally inaccurate they can be enjoyable on just an entertainment level. There is a line there though, which was crossed in a bg way by Pearl Harbor.
Very true CC, Pearl Harbour took the entertainment factor a little to far.cheddar cheese said:

I cant see the point in remaking films about events that are already classics. I have not seen Pearl Harbour and do not intend to waste my time watching it as I have not heard a good word said about it. I have Tora Tora Tora on DVD and thats a good enough film about the events and actions leading up to and the attack on Pearl for me.
The full uncut version of Das Boot is also a classic the Dubbed short version totally spoils the atmos.
Back on thread can we get some pics from you guys in the states of vets day please.

Unfortunately, there's a difference between a "historical movie" and a movie meant to entertain.
BTW, thanks Adler

Memphis Belle was great. I gave it a two thumbs up! But Pearl Harbor with Ben Aflieck, crap.

Its not a bad movie just as long as you fast forward through all the chick flick b.s.,
Cuba Gooding JR should have gotten a better part.

The only thing that impressed me was the scene when Ben ASSLACK was attacking the HE-111. As he was shooting at the Heinkel pieces of the aircraft were flying off, I thought the graphics were good. Other than that the movie was a cartoon with real people, if you want to consider Ben ASSLACK as real person.

Yeah thats my favorite too, also when he jumps that Me-109 over the water, and when the same thing happen to Benny

I havent seen all of it but what the hell are German aircraft doing at Pearl Harbor?!?!
Goering thought that Udet and his friends could have done with a holiday in Hawaii, so they flew their Bf-109s with a supporting He-111 (Y'know, to carry the beer.) to Hawaii. Then Japan attacked and the USAAF thought it was a good time to kill the Germans too because they're nice like that.

- Actully Ben ASSLACK is sent to fight in the BoB, and winds up back at Pearl Harbor on Dec, 6th, after being thought of dead - It seems he also had a time machine.
