What have you been watching?

Watched The Longest Day on June 6 in memory.

Watched a Bridge too Far sometime last week as well...good film

The 2-disc cinema classics edition of TLD has alot of cool testing shots and behind the scenes pictures, along with interviews, documentaries, etc. Very good buy overall, excellent film. I had been wanting to buy it for a while but I never had the time.

 

Hi Krieg, a Robert Mitchum fan eh? Me too! Also, he sings the title song to that movie.

Forgot to mention, just watched: The Dirty Dozen, and the D.D.Next Mission, will be this evening.

 

just had a look see at a film called.. atlantic convoy .. fair old film
cheers krieg

 

Think i will buy longest day in the next few days in my quest to get a duke collection going.Already got special editon of bridge to far top film!

 

Watched "The Enemy Below" on DVD, followed by "Kelly's Heroes" on Moviepix.

 

The Enemy Below, is one of my all-time most favorites!! Great movie and one I never tire of watching. Incidently, one of the actors who played one of the Uboat officers (Kurt Krueger) recently passed away.

 

Definately. Just for the hell of it, I'm watching Curd Jurgens leading his men in song on Youtube.

 

Sinimäed- the Estonian battle place for both 1941 and 1944. According to document there are some 200,000 (?) dead soldiers buried there.

First the Germans were stopped for months there in 1941 and then the Red Army in 1944.

Sinimäed (2006)

 

I've been a North Africa kick lately. In the past week I've watched Desert Rats with Richard Burton and Bitter Victory with Richard Burton and Curt Jurgens. Desert Rats was proabably my favorite of the two. That conversation between Richard Burton and James Mason is just pure genius. Tomorrow is Morituri - Marlon Brando, need I say more!

 

Watched "Daring to Die: The Black Devils" about the FSSF today on History Television.

 

krieg might have a look at one called .. forty thousand horsemen ..
yep that will do fine
cheers krieg

 

I'm in the middle of Talvisota (The Winter War) Talvisota (1989)

It's worth watching, but I wouldn't call it a great movie by any means.

 

Saw The Gentle Sex yesterday, a wartime British movie (1942) about a group of ATS girls and their story, from driving trucks to serving ack-ack guns. Some good scenes of the cast operating predictor apparatus and serving AA guns, gave a good idea of the actual drills involved.

 

The War by Ken Burns, most of you probably heard of it. Defiantly the best World War II documentaries, and documentaries in general.

 

That song is a great song. I think it's called the: DeSauer March.

 

how menny times have you watched this film if only once watch it again
..krieg

 

I would say that The War is possibly the best WWII documentary from the American perspective, but I definitely have more appreciation for the broader scope of the World At War series. I'm certainly not looking to argue about something subjective like this, but I was curious as to whether or not you've seen the W.A.W series. It doesn't show up too often on US tv.


Krieg-I'll certainly give Talvisota another viewing in the near future. I liked it, but after the first viewing it doesn't make my top 10.

 

have a look at one called. the unknown soldaten ..

 

No, I haven't see the W.A.W series, being 16 I wasn't around when it initially was on. I have seen it at a library. To my knowledge it has not played on North American television recently either. I will look into it.

 

for krieg tonight on the box might be .. burma convoy ... that will do fine
cheers krieg
