By the way i was joking about Pearl Harbor - total hack job. If you go to IMDB.com and type the name of the war movie you like, then at the bottom there's a link to "Goofs for...." Pretty interesting hearing all the factual errors and the like for each movie.

When you said "it had top notch actors like Ben Affleck", I got so confused I couldn't read any futher. I only had 3 theories... 1. There are 2 Ben Afflecks. 2. You are a monkey and had managed to pound keys randomly on a keyboard to it make a legible, though nonsensical, english sentence 3. You were joking. Glad to note it was 3, though 2 would have been cool.  This post has been edited by M@ster of Dis@ster: 10/05/07 6:12pm --------------------  |

1. "Where Eagle Dare"
2. "The Guns of Navaronne" Personally I like the Vietnam movies a whole lot better. My favorites are "Full metal Jacket" and "Platoon"  --------------------  Members Of Barbarossa  |

Full Metal Jacket was filmed at Bassingbourne Barracks Queens Division ,in Royston (if you read the end credits )
and yours truly was stationed there for active service ,for 18 months...they still have the assault course in place. Also the Memphis bell was stationed there during WW2 and the film of the same name was filmed there too. -------------------- |

On top of many mentioned above I really enjoyed Conspiracy. It was made for TV or something but was one of the best WW2 movies I have seen. Absolutely horrifying and gripping at the same time. Well worth the effort to track down. I have watched it 3 or 4 times and am stunned by it everytime.
Plot description for Conspiracy: "The historical recreation of the 1942 Wannsee Conference, in which Nazi and SS leaders gathered in a Berlin suburb to discuss the "Final Solution to the Jewish Question". Lead by SS-General Reinhard Heydrich, this group of high ranking German officials came to the historic and far reaching decision that the Jews of Europe were to be exterminated in what would come to be known as the Holocaust." Others I have enjoyed that haven't been mentioned so far is "Shinning Through" Michael Douglas and Melanie Griffith -mostly cause I got a thing for Melanie, and "Schindlers List" |

A movie about 2 guys fighting over one girl oops btw Pearl Harbor just got bombed! Actually "Pearl Harbor" was a good action movie but it was only 1 hour long. The 2 hours they tacked on to the front was total garbage but I see all the latest WW2 movies doing the same. The ones made back during the actual war years were the best. They were directly to the point. The ones made today are so junked up with smoltsy plots & sultry scenes, its stupid to say the least.... JIM --------------------  |
