Cross of iron



Ah yes, that one slipped my mind. A really good film with James Coburn in a starring role.


Add to that one : Enemy at the Gate.  :-))

I got it without Subtitles, and I have set a 2025 target to read the book in German (already got it in English)

The Mouse That Roared.

a wonderful light hearted comedy straring Peter Sellers in a multiple of roles.

Lovely scenic views and interesting shots of ships, cars and other items of interest to many.  :-))

I don't watch much TV or films (comes from working in the business for half my working life), but the movies that have stood the test of time and continued re-watching are those of Aki Kaurismäki, especially Mies vailla menneisyyttä (Man Without a Past) which explores Kaurismäki's recurrent theme of the inherent decency of people at the very bottom of society.

I am now of an age, (just turned three score years and ten), and was brought up on WWII films in B&W. Since retiring I have discovered daytime TV, and they are repeated on Channel 4 in the afternoon. The Cruel Sea always hits the spot, 'The hundred and fifty men, they are the stars of this story. The only heroines are the ships: and the only villain the cruel sea itself'. It captures exactly the Battle of the Atlantic, the desperate early struggles, too few escort vessels, inadequate technology, and then onto final victory.


In Which We Serve was an accurate portrayal of life on a destroyer, not for nothing was the eastern Mediterranean known as the destroyers graveyard, 'Here ends the story of a ship, there will always be other ships and men to sail in them. God bless our ships and all who sail in them'.




Cheers, and a Merry Xmas to all forum members!

   Good grief Phil, Quadrophenia was about 45 years ago, would we be too ashamed in not recognising you :-) .


  Hears one I love and a no brainer for all the family at Christmas,  Polar Express, so much
to enjoy but a bit whacky as well.

Hi all, If you like sailing ships and especially the Gloucester Schooners, from Canada  that fish on the Grand Banks, the Spencer Tracey film Captains Courageous is the film to watch.
The plot is good, just sit through the first few scenes, the filming beyond excellent and the fishing detail of documentary level.  Black and white film but loses nothing because of it. 
On top of this it ticks all the boxes for "a feel good film".

Just watched Mores 39 steps again on TP. The obvious R/C movements of the paddler in the opening scenes makes one think 'How did the "Captain" manage that?' Must have been the bloke a few feet to the left with the big blue floor mounted box.

Hi Ian,
Just a few comments on your Pic choice.
I have seen this one quite a few times and Mr More must have been some athlete
Most of this film was made in the Trossachs with something like  4-5 miles between shots, good story and it sure does let you see the splendour of the area.
It's only about 3/4 hour drive from us, and great cycling area.


Happy New year to all


George.
