I'm pretty certain B is 'Days of Glory' or 'Indigènes' to give it its correct french title

mikemac

Yes, correct for B, well done

Wouldn't be 'enemy at the gates' by any chance ?

mikemac

It certainly is and an excellent film it was too.
Well I didn't last long

Morlar

Clues for movie A . ..

Correctimundo !

A - is based on a true story about the daughter of a white russian and what happens to her on a journalist assignment.
There is an Irish connection to this underrated recent movie (connection to the movie not the story).

Morlar

These are more pictures of Movie A :





If it's too off the beaten track and no one gets it in the next couple hours then it goes to youcancallme>al for correctly guessing B.

MyKeyG

Mary Poppins and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull?

mikemac

Attack on Leningrad?

If you're going to say Irish connection then I know the main actor is Irish. I think it's Liam Neeson. Either that or Gabriel Byrne

youcancallmeal

I'm presume A is Attack on Leningrad because your screenshots are named Attack A and Attack B I've never seen it actually, is it any good?

I've got two ready, will post them up shortly

mikemac

Oh............just beat you to it :pac:

youcancallmeal

mikemac

The Thin Red Line for B

Wasn't fast enough for the previous two. Here's a couple more.

Morlar

I think I have seen both but can't rem the names.

It's not, when I got the photo I had to look twice as I did not recognise the actor who was a very famous actor and this photo is from a very famous war film.

rednik

Should add the b&w photo is misleading, the film is in colour.

Morlar

Is that actually william holden in B ?

rednik

It is indeed.

Is B - 'Bridge on the River Kwai ?

(The b/w of the pic threw me - it looked like holden and the only other bw one he was in as a prisoner was Stalag 17)

Btw I watched a documentary about 'Bridge on the river kwai' recently where the men who were there disputed most of the content of that movie !

Bridge on the river kwai it is Morlar, well done.

A - kind of looks like a dirty dozen/kellys heroes kind of a movie. Any plot clues for A ?
