Joe Potato Fish Addict Kind of a Big Deal Posts: 869 Votes: 309 Registered: 09-Jan-2001	Out of those, I'd have to pick "Patton". A close second would be "Das Boot". That movie gave me such a bad case of claustrophobia... Joe Potato

bensaf Fish Master Posts: 1978 Kudos: 1315 Registered: 08-Apr-2004	hmmmm. Stalag 17 The Great Escape (Steve McQueen was the coolest guy ever) Saving Private Ryan Patton Bridge on the Rivaer Kwai Lawrence of Arabia wasn't a World War 2 movie, it was the first one. Some days you're the pigeon and some days you're the statue. Remember that age and treachery will always triumph over youth and ability.

tommyc Hobbyist Posts: 106 Kudos: 1146 Votes: 75 Registered: 11-Aug-2003	Just a note of trivia [in case you ever play that game, you know, the one that is not very popular, oh whats it called ya thats it, Trivial pursuit] In the movie Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence the man who played Capt Yonoi Mr Ryuichi Sakamoto also produced and wrote all the haunting music for the movie. Ok,Tom put away the trivia game, and stop highjacking robby's thread. Great movie. And Bensaf you are of course correct L.O.A. Is WW1 missed the 2 part in original post Last edited by tommyc at 27-Oct-2004 09:17
