Tony B Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I watched "Inglorious Basterds" last night, terrible film, a load of dross. After about fifften minutes, I decided I didn't have enough left! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bart615 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 If I remember correctly "Where Eagles Dare" had a Saracen on in German guise, including a Bosch cross on the side! Still enjoyed it though! Oh, and the dog in the new Dambusters is bound to have a different name. :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenivers Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 (edited) Just watched 'Massacre in Rome' starring Richard Burton , really tedious , glad it only cost me 2 quid at the carboot. Also got ' D-Day the Sixth of June' staring Richard Todd & Robert Taylor , just a romance film , hardly any action. :-( Edited March 20, 2012 by stevenivers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolly Jeeper Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Has anyone mentioned The Dogs of War? If the the actor playing the lead character looks anything like a Royal Marine turned mercenary then I'm the Man in the Moon. Shame 'cos the book is a good read...

Enigma Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I once watched a Dolf Lundgren film in which his character was called Warchild. (Bridge of dragons the film was called) It was very humorous!,............. embarrassing because it wasn't a comedy. It was so bad we laughed at numerous occasions at the story and acting...

Shamouti Ben Yafo Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 All this talk of dams in Iraq reminds me of some friends who went on holiday to Yugoslavia. The natives were great fans of the Rambo films - but the action in one (the second?) was transposed in translation (dubbed) to the Pacific Theatre in WWII to spare Soviet sensibilities... Worst war film I ever saw; hmm... Does Independence Day count? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locolines Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Well lads, I have heard they are making another dads army. With a WOMAN playing the role of Captain Mannering . Now we know the country is In state with lots of issues, but this would be pushing the populous of our shores too far. i for one, would don my tin hat, Zulu spear , and sandwiches and march on Westminster. ( if it wasn't raining of course ). But I wonder... Does it mean they can't say "they don't like it up 'em" anymore ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Well, your not allowed to Roger people over the radio any more. There goes all the B&W 1950's films then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RattlesnakeBob Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 Well, your not allowed to Roger people over the radio any more. There goes all the B&W 1950's films then! Things have changed dramatically since the days of TV such as Dads Army and Love thy Neighbour etc haven't they ! :laugh: .....I happened upon an episode of that daft sort of WW2 comedy series the other night 'Goodnight Sweetheart' and the script did actually surprise me with how 'nudge nudge wink wink ooooh! missus!' it was towards Gays....a prime time TV series would never get away with that these days either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I used to Love Love thy Neighbour. If there was ever a serious that showed the stupidity of colour prejudice that was it! Especially the episode wher he was dancing naked around the tree, must have been one of the funniest things on TV ever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoseman Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 just watched Kellys Heroes to remind myself how bad it is.....! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolly Jeeper Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) Sorry to disagree, not only do I think that Kelly's Heroes is the best war film ever, it's my favourite film of all time. I like its anti-war stance, its humour and the fact that it's just a cowboy film in khaki... Hoseman could be joking of course...

Bob Grundy Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 if Kelly's Heroes is the 'best war film ever' then the bar is set very low, more or less on the ground......... Absulute rubbish! Perhaps it entertains a lower class of person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griff66 Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 agreed kellys heroes very good not as best war film but just as a bloody good film , bob g i guess your just to high brow for us poor technical middle class are you one of the elite?

Tony B Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Try 'Flyboys', a good story of WW1 plus the modern film techniques of motion capture make for real high action scenes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it entertains a lower class of person. It depends on whether you want war movies that are akin to documentaries, historical epics or just entertainment. As for 'entertaining a lower class of person' - I've rarely heard something so pompous. So stick my honours degree, my published books and my magazine editorships where the sun don't shine. Some people - always with the negative waves...

RattlesnakeBob Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 welllllllllll personally..:-\ ..... I'd far FAR sooner watch a totally fictious (and yes , maybe even 'daft') war film such as 'Kellys Heroes' over the truly absolutely awful Hollywood tripe that is 'Battle of The Bulge' anyday of the week... and yes....even if BOTB is supposed to be about a real life actual event...:cool2::cool2::cool2::cool2::cool2: which it isn't..as anyone that has ever managed to sit through it knows...
