discussion Favourite war films?

[stona]

Another shout for 'Ice Cold in Alex'.

'The Cruel Sea' and Das Boot' would be my nautical choices.

'Battle of Britain' and 'The Dambusters' would be my aviation choices.

On land probably 'Saving Private Ryan', though I got bored sh*tless last time I watched it the first twenty minutes made it worthwhile. 'Apocalypse Now' though that's more of a horror film than a war film, and finally 'Slaughter House 5' because I loved the book so much.

Cheers

Same here - too many to mention and must admit I am a big fan of TALKING PICTURES TV on freeview as they seem to manage to find loads of old b&w films i have never seen before.

If i was asked to name one film though it would be "Where Eagles Dare". A lot of nostalga for me because it was always a christmas film and I have fond memories of those happy family times together. And the film itself you can really feel the "Cold"
