You sir, have excellent taste in film.

Glad to see someone remembered Das Boot.

A war movie in genre but no real war in the move - Mister Roberts. A classic.

Escape To Victory?

For the Yanks, this is Victory - the football movie with Stallone, Pele and the brilliant Michael Caine.

Good list mate.also loved 'The Guns of Navarone'
Awsome film. Loach's 'Land and Freedom' is a boss wartime story in the Spanish Civil war

Never seen that one, must have a look, thanks!

 

[Tom Mc EFC]

Von Ryan's Express, too. Good ole Frank Sinatra

Can't believe that Stalag 17 hasn't been mentioned yet.

Classic.

The Great Escape was great also.

Great shout

There,s a book / documentary,called the rape of Nanking ( I,m sure LCAB and Chico ) are well aware of... Its a horrifying tale of what the Japanese did to a defenceless Chinese people.. I dont know if this qualifys in the boss war movies catorgory,, but the atrocities committed were beyond belief..
Makes you wonder under the present circumstances, if the Chinese dicided to kick off,, are we all fcked?
Apoligies for my open sentence,,, i know everyone is aware of Nanking on GOT

I watched Apocalypse Now just because of this thread and it was really awesome. I was probably expecting more battlefront action.
