^ ooh, Sam Peckinpaw...

'Tis a great film.

Sir Slash · August 07, 2014, 10:15:24 AM

Alright then. Film? How about The Band of Brothers or it's even more excellent brother production, The Pacific? I know it's not a "Film". But they are the best historical war series ever and so I fudge the rules. ^-^ I saw Zulu listed. Anybody ever see the later production, "Zulu Dawn"? About the Brits getting their arses handed to them just before the events in "Zulu". Great films to see back to back. With wings, drinks, and with or without boobs.

Zulu dawn, although good, is not as epic as Zulu. And yes, Isandlwana was a right old cock-up.

Sir Slash · August 07, 2014, 11:13:32 AM

I think some of the same actors are in both movies. So you can see them get killed at Isandlwana and them watch them win at Rourke's Drift. Or the other way around.

Plus the films are arse-about-face, since Rourke's Drift was the day after Isandlwana.

Cross of Iron..of course!!..not sure how I forgot that one..book is superb aswell. Prob my all time fav war film.

bob48 · August 07, 2014, 03:35:28 PM

Aye, the book was called "The Willing Flesh" as I recall.

How about All Quiet on the Western Front? I read the book very young, maybe nine or ten, and it has stayed with me since. Love the ancient movie too.

I thought The Expendables might qualify, but I have a chick friend that loves both it and the sequel, so...

Yeah the old B\W movie is much better than the later one with the bloke from The Waltons in it.

Full Metal Jacket, and the original version of 'The Italian Job'.

...."You were only supposed to blow the bloody door off".....One of my favourite line from a film.
