I guess that I'm just a sucker for a Bogie flick.

@slayer: I paid about 36 € for the whole set. Picture quality is more than good enough for my old television. You can´t get a copy? Where are you from? If I might ask.

India you say? A friend of mine went to India to stay there for a year. But don´t you ask me where exactly he went.

Has anone seen "Der Untergang"?
If memory serves me right the english title is "The Downfall".

@ Paulus II: "Das Boot" is a classic. One of the few descent flic made by Wolfgang Peterson.

btw: the same U-boat was used in "Raiders of the lost ark"

So many to choose from but Memphis Belle must be one of my favourites.

Anyone remember 'The Victors'-Now why has that movie never been seen on TV or VHS/DVD?

Remember too 'Ice Cold in Alex', 'Bridge on the River Kwai' and 'The Guns of Naverone'-All classics

Bridge on the River Kwai was a classic. I thought of that one after I started this thread.

The Great Escape for an up-lifting day.
Schindlers List for a depressing jolt.
Das Boot to hope the ending is different this time and they survive!!!

,

and the t.v. series Allo Allo for a laugh(based on the original BBC series Secret Army).

I have to chime in for 2,Patton and that great British flick....The Battle of Britian.My problem with watching these kind of movies I start yelling at the TV when the show or say a historical inaccuarcy.Such as at the beginning of Schindlers List,he is putting on a Gold Party badge.These were bestowed by Hitler and Oscar Schindler was not a reciepient.
