how can you leave out the longest day!!!Originally posted by ferret69:Thanks for the link, especially the part about the female snipers and the Il-2 pilot.
Thin Red Line was overall a total bore. For a better war movie I totally recommend "Das Boot" (The Boat) German WW2 submarine flick or "12 O'Clock High" with Greg Peck (B&W film).
Totally bad war movies include U-571, Pearl Harbor, Midway and assorted other execrable material.
Longest Day was a bit over the top for me, but good fun nonetheless. For a historical war movie, I'd recommend "Tora!Tora!Tora!". The beginning is a little slow, but the build-up to the attack is great. I especially like the small little part where the Jap pilots practiced ship recognition and practicing bombing via simulation on board the carriers.Originally posted by |-|05|:how can you leave out the longest day!!!
