Empire of the Sun

I was also a kid be can't remember it in great detail but I was bowled over by it

MASH was better as a TV series

Banjo

What happened to lunch break you bastards???
Abstaining on this one because I didn't enjoy either and I don't think you'll let me vote for Aliens.

Necro

We eat too fast Banjo :P

Bastards hasnt appeared yet

I prefer Mash

It gets my vote. More humour. And Kid Bale was kinda weird.

Empire. I loved MASH tv series but didn’t like the movie at all.

I can't vote for either. I remember watching MASH the odd time on TV as a child. Didn't get it at all which isn't hugely surprising.

quickbeam

Basterds. A great movie.

Banjo

Meh vs Meh.
Who will win?
Meh....

MrKingsley

Inglorious Basterds for me.

Love Christopher Waltz in it, some incredibly tense scenes, class dialogue and it was one of my picks

banie01

I'm going to have to vote for Inglorious Bastards!

The humour, the viciousness and the story all tie together so well.

Tora, Tora, Tora could have been great!
Should have been the US Battle of Britain but so much of it particularly flight sequences were let down by lack of ambition IMO.

Hoboo

Inglorious

fixXxer

Inglorious Basterds, One ive my suggestions so I'm going for that.

scotchy

Tora Tora Tora.


Liked Basterds, but some of the made up "facts" made for a strange film if you're into your WW2 stuff.

Necro

4-1 to the Basterds so far.

Hoboo I need a reason for your vote to stick

Remouad

Tora! Tora! Tora!
Japanese perspective was filmed by a Japanese crew
American perspective was filmed by an American one

Very historically accurate.

Mehaffey1

Inglorious Bastards here.
Funny, gruesome and nicely fictional.

Cienciano

Christopher Waltz's performance gives it Inglorious for me.

Zaph

Tora! Tora! Tora! The best movie about Pearl Harbor, epic stuff.

Necro

Inglorious Basterds take it 5-2

Necro

Next up we go back to the classics. One will fall at the first hurdle...


Das Boot

Dr. Strangelove... Or - ah just read the picture!

Mehaffey1

Seen neither so out of this one.

banie01

Das Boot!

Incredible film, Prochnow gave a tour de force performance and its one of the 1st films that humanised the Germans IMO.
The fear and claustrophobia of the depth charge scenes were incredible

Electric Nitwit

Has to be das Boot

Dr Strangelove really isn't that good, at the very least it's dated badly for me

Hoboo

Haven't seen them so no vote here.

Remouad

Das boot
Claustrophobic thriller.
Makes you see the crew as people instead of Nazis.

Best watched in the original german.

Dr Strangelove is a classic. Gets my vote

scotchy

Another tough call, but its Das Boot for me.

Always enjoy WW2 films from a German perspective. but this was a Class Film, And the TV series even better. tried watching the recent remake but it didn't compare to the original.

fixXxer

Das Boot.

Similar to why I like THFRO, the tension of the confined space where death is so close constantly is so compelling.

Krombopulos Michael

Das Boot. Fantastic movie and showed the real cramped conditions they lived in

Necro

Das Boot gets their missiles away before Strangelove can drop the A-Bomb. 5-1 winners

Necro

Another 5 way match up next... and this one is INTENSE :eek:
