Best battle films

[Spartacus]

@ Andoreth

Don`t know Flesh and Blood , But Liked Hauer many years ago.

The 2 Polish ones I have not seen but I know of the Deluge.

And Yes--Everyone should have at least one of Kurosawa`s films in there.

Still a few slots for Kurosawa:-
Yojimbo---Seven Samurai---Throne of Blood--Hidden Fortress and loads more.

Ah - Hidden Fortress: I think that's the one that allegedly inspired Star Wars?

I just watched Mosul on Netflix.   New movie to add to the list.

Flesh and Blood and Prince of Foxes are the only Italian Wars films I have ever see. Unfortunately Flesh and Blood declines after the opening scene. Rutger Hauer does make a very good landsknecht though.

Glad no one mentioned "Come and See".

"5 day of War" is a favourite of mine.
The usual suspects as well, A bridge too far, Battle of Britain etc and both Dads Army films...

Also

Danger Close (for me the best war film for some time)

Siege of Jadotville too imho

Agreed, I watched that recently and it was excellent. I have another recommendation - April 9th. An excellent Danish film about the invasion of Denmark on April 9th 1940. A gripping and quite moving film. Very well made and worth seeking out. I think I saw it on Netflix.

I also enjoyed the Jadotville film.

The Danish film mentioned reminded me of an excellent film about the invasion of Norway - The Kings Choice. Worth a look.

What has happened with your local cinema Martin, will it re-open?

[martin goddard]

Lord knows Les
They have closed until there are a stack of new films to show.
They have tried lots of ideas.
They even started showing classics such as men in black, but folk did not go


I wait in hope

Got Amazon prime recently for the rugby, April 9 is on the watch list along with a couple of films about Finland in 44.

Thanks for that info Nigel. I would like to see that film again, and the Finnish ones also sound interesting.
