My Twelve Favourite Porno Movies...

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

...When asked to name the quintessential 'guy movie' in Sleepless In Seattle, Tom Hanks put forward Robert Aldrich's "The Dirty Dozen" in response and who could argue with him. Released in 1967, this testosterone fueled war movie, gathered together a number of male stars, all big names in their own right, and turned around the way war movies were presented. No longer would the Allied forces be packed full of good guys taking the moral high ground, whilst ...
...than heroic actions. Released in the midst of the Vietnam war, those that followed may have concentrated on that event as opposed to the battle against the German war machine, but there is no doubt that it paved the way for movies like The Deer Hunter and Platoon or more recently the likes of Saving Private Ryan which all work off Aldrich's ideas. What The Dirty Dozen does so differently from all those which came before is to blur the boundaries ...

Great War Movies-The Dirty Dozen.

Advantages: Great performances, Lee Marvin, superb dramatic tension
Disadvantages: Goof ups in depicting war games

The 60's was a period when we had great war flicks like Where Eagles Dare, The Dirty Dozen, Guns of Navaronne, The Great Escape, The Longest Day to name a few. My dad was a lover of such movies, and he would take me along as a kid, and that's how I grew up loving such cinema. Dirty Dozen is a typical lets get together guys and go on a mission, spot the star World War II movies which appeared regularly during that period. But this is one movie which ...
...and superb pacing. With the advent of D-Day, the US Army has come up with a plan to interrupt German chain of command. Raid a secluded mansion where most of the high ranking Nazi officers come to party with their mistresses and kill every one there. It's a suicidal operation, and so the army decides to make use of convicted criminals who are either on death row or facing life imprisonment. It's a win win situation, if they die, they would have the ...

You will watch this over and over again.

Advantages: A Brilliant Plot with a Brilliant All Star Cast
Disadvantages: None

...great sound track, suspense. The plot is esentially that a group of WWII military hard nut lifers banged up in military prisons are given a chance of a full pardon if they accept a dangerous mission behind enemy lines in France. Of course the catch is that it is somewhat of a suicide mission, .......or is it? There are some vague similarities between this film and The Magnificent Seven in as much as you have a group of main characters each with their ...
...more believable plot and The Magnificent Seven was in my opinion more of a vehicle for individual actors to "show boat" in their roles. One actor common to both films is Charles Bronson. In this film there is a rare opportunity to see Telly Savalas with hair! The best moment of the film for me is when Donald Sutherland laughs at having put one over on an inspecting General who has "had the wool pulled over his eyes" by the Dirty Dozen crew. This ...
