The Cruel Sea was accused of being a rip off "In Which We Serve", which is very unfair.

I know its daft, but I can't watch the scene where those two Delta take on the licals without bursting into tears. I was still in the army when they showed the news footage of them carrying their bodies out like lions killed in a hunt. I think that operation was the last time the Yanks trusted India armed forces with anything.

Pretty harrowing movie
 
1/ Hacksaw Ridge (by a country mile)
2/ Saving Private Ryan
3/ Das Boot
4/ Deer Hunter
5/ Waterloo.
6/ Inglorious bastards

And loads more worthy of a mention in dispatches such as Cross Of Iron, Platoon, The last samurai, Where Eagles Dare, Zulu etc etc etc.

John Mills could quaff though.

I once had a pint of Ice cold lager in a hotel bar in Africa towards the end of a long and sh*tty work trip. It would have landed me in a World of trouble if I'd been caught, which made it all the more satisfying.

We also got absolutely hammered in Dakar on the way back, but that's another story.
