"Judgement at Nuremberg" with Spencer Tracy and Marlene Dietrich , can watch this movie over and over , in my all time top ten
anything with John Mills ........typical Brit
the RAF movie, Dambusters /633 squadron , where Richard Todd has the dog whose name is allways beeped out (on US television)
Tora Tora Tora , not the recent "Pearl Harbour" with all the Hollywood prettyboys
one of the worst WW2 movies is that Royal Navy thing made by Noel Coward and dedicated to his boyfriend Mountbatten
Korean War
Manchurian Candidate, original version with Frank Sinatra, not the crap remake with Denzil Washington
Vietnam War
the John Wayne thing , 'Green Berets' pure proaganda, typical big John but watchable
WW1
recent movie , now available for rent 'Joyuex Noel' about the Christmas day truce when the opposing sides played football one day and went back to war the following day , in English, French and German .....absolutly brilliant
