Hazel and friends,
About the WWII movies,
I could never go passed to first minutes of Saving Private Ryan. I have the movie, but never watch it.
I also loved "The Bridges of Madison Co." . I'm sure some of you could relate to it.

I thought it might be interesting to find out what WWII movies you have
enjoyed/ been moved by the most.
My top choices are:
In Which we serve
The Cruel Sea
Gregory Peck in Twelve o'clock High
Dangerous Moonlight (featuring the Warsaw Concerto) It was called
Suicide Squadron in the USA.
I enjoy Hope and Glory (a more recent movie) because it reminds me so
much of our streets in London and the kids climbing through all the
rubble; evacuation to the country etc.
I disliked: Mrs. Miniver because it was so unrealistic. She never had a
hair out of place even the midst of a bombing raid and her clothes were
magnificent, unlike our war-time clothes. I also find her English accent
to be a bit too posh (refined).
We laughed at the John Wayne WWII movies during the war because they too
were quite unrealistic - galloping through the ocean on a torpedo boat etc.
Would you like to add to the list or make comments?
Hazel
