windtakers was a good film

Its actually called ''Windtalkers'', in deference to the native Navajo Americans upon whose language the secret Wartime code is based.

I would have thought a busy little PC cnut like you would have known this.....

Thats not nice is it so in a word fook off pratt ............it was an easy mistake to make

[Stevies Bald Head!]

Band of brothers and Saving private Ryan for me. My dad became absolutly enfanctuated with the Normandy WW2 scene and many holidays were spent there going to memorials and specific places were significant battle occured. visited many of the places in these films in france. might seem boring but when you also have the plesure of meeting people who were there for example me and my old man met Bill Garneir (typo) from band of brother who had his leg blown off in a snowwy wood it kind of brings it home how masive hero's these guys were and the guys in Iraq and Afganistan are now. CTID

 

[Ntini77]

Platoon easily

 

[nelsons willie]

not a film but, band of brothers is one of the most impressive war programs ever!
quality series.

just reading book now with 2 of the lads from easy company..anyone mentioned the longest day yet?

 

[bornblueegg]

633 squadron
The dambusters
Reach for the sky

All great sunday afternoon fodder. You can't beat a good WW2 B&W film where everyone is posh.

 

[johnny on the spot]

Watched the best war film I've seen in a long while last night. The Hurt Locker, with Ralph Fiennes and Guy Pearce. Would thoroughly recommend.
