The Pure Warrior Advantages: Historically correct, absorbing and entertaining Disadvantages: Long and dated in places General Patton believed his destiny was to lead a great army into combat and come out the other end victorious. If he did not succeed he wanted to lie dead among his combat soldiers. So why during the most important and intense time in the European war against the Nazis did George S Patton feel the need to say "The whole world is at war and I'm the only one left out of it" The critically acclaimed film 'Patton' made in 1970 goes a long way to explain ... ...would have doubted it, although Patton is perhaps the only man in the whole theatre of the Second World War which a film of almost two and a half hours long can be justified. The film begins with Patton (George C. Scott) standing on a podium in front of the US flag addressing his troops before battle; the famous speech which in typical Pattonesque style is littered with profanities and vulgar examples of how to beat the Germans. In the context of ... marylou2u 29.10.2005 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Patton (DVD)	Did you enjoy it?

The Battle Of Britain Advantages: A good five star film Disadvantages: none The Battle Of Britain is an absolute wartime classic. Even to this day, it acting, music, special effects and story are unbeaten. The film starts in France. The British are retreating to Dunkirk and a RAF tempory base is evacuated as the German offensive continues. Meanwhile, Sir Hugh Dowding (head of the RAF) advices Churchill that no more RAF forces should be sent to France as it would weaken the home defenses. With Germany in control of France ... ...for the film of the battle of Britain is extremely well done. The story follows Sir Hugh Dowding and his struggle to maintain the RAF, the Blitz and several RAF personal who are bearing the brunt of the attacks of the Luftwaffe. But even though the story observes several characters, it still remains faithful to the facts and truly gives some idea of what the actual Battle of Britain was like. The acting was extremely well done. Michael Caine plays ... seadevil 04.09.2007 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Battle Of Britain (DVD)	Did you enjoy it?

Inglorious Tarantino Nonesense Advantages: Tarantino making grown up films Disadvantages: Still not back to his best If ever a director has suffered a steep decline from the very summit of Hollywood its Quentin Tarantino. How did we get from Pulp Fiction to Death Proof?? He didn't even have time to plant his flag pole he slid down the other side that fast. What on Earth was that self parody Kill Bill nonsense all about! The geeky ex video store worker who dreamed of becoming an actor but burdened with a face for radio (even Morse code) astounded the independent ... ...uber cool Reservoir Dogs and became the darling of the European film circuit with Pulp Fiction. But since then I have struggled with nearly everything he's done, dare I say it I'm almost bored with the film genius of the reported owner of a 151 I.Q, his Muppet Show yapping mouth going on about the nuance of film somewhat irritating now. With Inglorious Basterds I think he too knows his best days may have passed and this is an attempt to woo back ... thedevilinme 28.12.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Inglourious Basterds (DVD)	Did you enjoy it?

One of the best films ever, must buy! Advantages: Great story, amazing acting, superb film Disadvantages: None Ever since seeing this film i have been dying to own this film and its finally on dvd. A modern classic of a film and such a typical Tarintino film. From the opening scene this movie has you engrossed and the two and a half hours it lasts for fly past. The acting is superb from some little known actors and having only one big name like Brad Pitt sets it off brilliantly. Very rarely do you see a somewhat pro jewish war film, most are just protraying ... euanw1989 21.12.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: somewhat helpful Review of Inglourious Basterds (DVD)	Did you enjoy it?

A Classic War Film! Advantages: Really interesting, based on a true story, exciting, good acting Disadvantages: None ...Only Review Watching the Great Escape on Sky Anytime last night I thought I had to review it. This movie is based on a book by Paul Brickhill who actually was in the camp in March 1944! The film is therefore based on true events but there are some inaccuracies so you should not believe everything that happens in the film! The film was made in 1963 but is still on every Christmas! The Great Escape is set in World War 2 and begins with the P.O.W ... ...high security. The idea is to have "all the rotten eggs in one basket" so they can all be kept inside this one impossible to escape camp! You see the prisoners of war in the camp and follow their escape plan. They want to be as much nuisance to the Germans as possible wasting their time, money and men! There plan is to get over 250 men out of the camp out of tunnels. You get to see how they manage to dig the tunnels, trick guards, get various things ... mariofan123 20.12.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of The Great Escape (DVD)	Did you enjoy it?
