You're Top Poster: #3   | Worst WW2 Movie You have seen! Mine has to be Anzio.

You're Top Poster: #4  | Anything that may in future have Tom Cruise attached comes to mind. I think it has to be U571

You're Top Poster: #13  | This has to be the worst film of any type on WW2. 'Force 10 from Navarone'. I thought 'The guns of Navarone' was bad enough but this one is truely awful. Sniper

You're Top Poster: #4 | Oi! I like Navarone! Total codswallop and a happy brain in neutral film.  Worst film is the one I had to endure ten minutes of today - Bedknobs and Broomsticks. Dear god in heaven.

You're Top Poster: #10  | There was a film shown on TV about twenty-five years ago which I never seen repeated since, called something like The Phoenix and the Flame. It was about the German invasion of Poland, from the point of view of a Polish family. Cardboard, stereotyped characters, cliched dialogue and action, tanks very clearly made of plywood. At the end, there is a depiction of Polish Cavalry on horseback charging German tanks (a myth that never happened), and it ends in a freeze-frame with them all getting mown down (copied from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid). The only bit that I still cherish is the dialogue just before the final charge, when the Polish General is saying to his junior officers that they have been ordered to charge at the tanks, and a young subaltern says: "But that's impossible!" The General replies: "All my life I've been obeying impossible orders!" I have sometimes quoted that at my NHS colleagues, when faced with impossible demands. |

You're Top Poster: #3 | The only film I thought he was good in was Rain Man with Dustin Hoffman!

You're Top Poster: #4 | Has he been in any film where he gets blown up and horribly mutilated just before death? That would be a good film!
