candyman I've been looking for Das Boot forever, i heard it was one of the best Submarine movies of all time....Can't find it though

i think there was once a link to this film in the verifieds but the download on it was so slow it would of taken me months to get it.
i know it is available from amazon.co.uk so as soon as i can rake 20quid together i'll buy it and share it.

first time i saw das boot i was about 12, shows us a different side to the war

Bridge over Over The River Kwai for sure- great performance from Alec Guiness and the catchiest damn theme song of any movie ever!

My two favs would have to be Apocalypse Now (brilliant in every way) and A Thin Red Line (the cinematography is is extraordinary, and I can't remember his name, but that main guy did an excellent job in his role) B)

I second that, and Das Boot.
Those three are musts.

Harts War.. an Crimson Tide .. were good

Dont forget "All Quiet On The Western Front" The original
The re-make was ok.

One great film I forgot was Gallipoli.

A rare WWI film... depicts the retarded nature of certain battle stratagies.

Featuring a pre-star mel gibson... to bad you'll never find it on kazaa

Tora, Tora, Tora - A brilliant film

Where Eagles Dare - Kicks Nazi arse

A Bridge Too Far - Great cast

Guns of Naverone - Cracking yarn

Zulu - Thousands of them

The Big Red One - Excellent!!!

Catch 22 - Wartime insanity.
