| Anyone have seen the Dark Blue World? I think, based on my knowledge on Czechoslovak pilots, it's a lovestroy crap instead of a tribute to them.......... If I were the director, I'd make it A LOT different............ | |

I have no idea why they threw that in as this movie was going to be watched by men, not woman.
The aerlial scenes were good though. I liked the clip of when the spits intercepted that single german bomber.

Country:  | P38 The bridges of Toko-ri was a pretty good Korean war film but the book was much better.
My choice
Shindlers list
Brothers in arms.
Tunes of Glory (no action but Alec Guiness is stunning)
Das Boot
The Hill (Sean Connerys best role)
Ice cold in Alex
The Caine Mutiny
Tora Tora Tora
All Quite of the Western Front (old but a land mark film The remake WC was awful Borgnine wasnt bad but John boy was terrible)

Country: | Most of these movies listed are just all time greats. There are a few thought that I cant stand like that damn Behind Enemy Lines and by the way if anyone says Pearl Harbour I am going to beat you up through my computer screen in Mexico!

Country: | In all seriousness though, I thought that the actual attack sequences in Pearl Harbor were extremely well done. The CGI looked almost flawless, and it all looked very realistic. Even the part with USS Oklahoma capsizing. I thought it captured what the horror of that day must have been like as well as a movie can capture such a thing. It left me with the feeling of "I'm sure as hell glad I wasn't there!". Not many movies manage to pull it off with such realism. I kinda liked the parts with the Japanese planning the attack too.
But then of course the rest of the movie was...not so realistic.  | |

Country: | I hated the story line. It was not about Pearl Harbor but rather a chick flick. Same thing with Titanic. That movie was not actually about the Titatic. The whole iceberg stuff was just a backdrop for Leo porking whatever he damn name was again.

| "Pearl Harbor"........... the Japanese planes flying through battleship row reminded me of a scene from Star Wars..... like Ty-Fighters and the Deathstar.
