Country:  | I've never seen PT109. A Bridge Too Far was excellent, I thought. Catchy theme music too.  |

Country:  | I saw a great movie about the Korean War yesterday called Taegukgi (Brotherhood). About two brothers who become seperated after fighting for South Korea, one stays with the South and the other joins the North.
There are some excellent battle scenes, and although there's some cheesy moments it's overall a remarkable movie. Oh yes and it's in Korean...

Tora Tora Tora is better than Pearl Harbor! | One more vote for Tora, Tora, Tora! At least they stuck to the subject.
Almost afraid to ask, but anyone see "Hanover Street"? I rented it just to see the B-25's. Chris Plummer was OK, but the rest of the movie is the same premise as "Titanic" and "Pearl" (soap opera). | |

| If you wanted to see B25's, you should have rented "Catch-22" 
Hanover Street stunk!

"Catch-22" (1970) - that is the almost definitive B-25 movie!
(and who can forget Paula Prentiss & Olimpia Carlisi as "Luciana" in very revealing roles)
The only movie which shows more is "Thirty Seconds over Tokyo" (1944).
Now that's THE B-25 movie, especially since it features the older
(and these days rarer) early B-25's with the upper turret in the
BACK of the fuselage, and the small, prone tail-gunner's position.
Anyone know when "30 seconds over Tokyo" will be released on DVD in the States? | |

Country: | Only the battle scene at the end though, although my wife likes all of it for some strange reason. Not really into War Movies, but she likes this (Love Story at the start) and A Matter of Life and Death (Ghosts, Afterlife, David Niven and a Love Story )
