    Just think about the source these were done by and published in, that says it all. At least the majority of the movies listed were all great entertainment.

    It IS Nr.1--on my lousiest crap for movies of all times list. It is seconded by: Battle For the Last Panzer--which is a classic stinker.

    That's true. The list is very brief indeed, but as it includes my favourite 'fun' WWII movie ( 'Where Eagles Dare' ) and one of my all-time favourites ( 'Downfall' ) I can't be too hard on it......;)

    Hi Jagd, Martin,

    Jagd, that's just IT, i've tried my best to forget about SS Doomstrooper. ;-)) I remember the massive hype that the Sci Fi Channel did when advertising it. It started out OK but after the first 10 minutes or even less, it became totally unwatchable and I switched the channel and found something already in play that was at least 10,000 times better-which was the classic Western: Hondo-w/ yours truely--Duke Wayne himself ;-D

    Martin, same here. I love the escapism that comes with watching Where Eagles Dare. I've only watched Downfall once (and liked it)-I "NEED" to see it again sometime soon ;-D
