Go on, you know you want one!
Is the answer 1 Goat, 5 Chickens and a Gerbil?

That must be the Battle of the Bulge.
Dear Brad Pitt.
WW2 tank commanders were generally in their early twenties or younger.
You are 51
Can you see the problem?

Hi Moggy,
I went to see Fury yesterday. The film, `kindof` works and Brad Pitt is a good choice for the role of tank commander IMHO.
I would rather see a good actor who was older than a youngster who isn’t right.
It’s a good war film and portrays a tank crew at war very well. The tank battle is very well done and the interior scenes are
powerful. The demise of some of the tanks is quite realistic.
The end is far fetched but very watchable.
Predictable, American but better than most.
7-10.
Contrast this with ‘Inglorious Basterds’ by Quentin Tarantino, another director who I have a lot of respect for, but who managed to produce a joke of a film that actually had me feeling respect for the Nazis at one point!
The end of Fury is very Pulp Fiction.
The Wolf of Wallstreet.
Funny, Intelligent Tit-fest sware-aphon!
I wasn’t knocking Fury for being like Pulp Fiction. I quite like the film and certainly better than most.
Modern war films are getting far too `realistic`. While I think there is a place to tell of the horrors of war
I think there is still a place for the `old fashioned` war movie, but with a more modern take. Like Angels 1-5 or the Dambusters.
Films are for entertainment at the end of the day.
The ticking clock in Dambusters says as much as the opening scene in Saving Private Ryan IMHO.
Ah, U-571 (link). I remember a mate and I going to visit another mate who was living and working on his own in a small town in the depths of winter, years ago. We went out and had a meal and a couple of beers and then, given the lack of other entertainment options, went and watched that film in a multiplex cinema about the size of a postage stamp. I think we were the only ones there, which was just as well – a genuinely laugh-out-loud awful film. Hilariously bad. If you think the description sounds bad – it’s even worse. :highly_amused:
Didn’t the Poles beat both the Yanks and Brits in obtaining the first Enigma?
Predator
Need I say any more??
Ahh, a film of endless quotes. See the new Predators. Same but different.
Interstellar. Ignore the plot holes and concentrate on the wormhole and black hole. A remarkable, spectacular, thought provoking film in Christopher Nolan tradition.
Why did they give the robot an arm to fly the spaceship? Haven’t they heard of WiFi!
What happens if you drive up without a tag?
The Railwayman.
A love story about a Burma Railway veteran who has to face his demons.
One of the best films I’ve seen for a while and a true story.
Imitation Game.
Lots of historical accuracy issues, but still a damn fine film and well worth a trip to the cinema as long as you are prepared to leave your WW2 anorak at home.
Agree, absolutely brilliant film. Didn’t notice any historical inaccuracies myself as I know little about Bletchly and Turin.
They managed to turn what could have been a boring film into a totally engrossing one.
[QUOTE=Seafuryfan;
Not quite a film, but thoroughly enjoying watching Star Trek (remastered), the original series on CBS Action (Freeview). Such good memories, despite some of the plots and action being veeeeery hammy.[/QUOTE]
Does the remastering include replacement cgi for all the special effects?
I remember seeing a special edition Star Trek box set that had this.
Booring lot 🙂
