Having to amend my top 10 WWII films:


"The Foreman went to France" rocks as a propaganda-fest from Ealing. Gordon Jackson looks about 12 years' old.


Cavalcanti, assoc. producer, directed one of my all time faves: "Went the Day Well?".


This thread reminded me how wonderful SimonM was. RIP.

Ted max, you raise an interesting point. I totally view Casablanca as a romantic movie as opposed to a resilience building, spirit raising, morale boosting war movie. However you are so right - apart from anything else, she does choose the war hero to help in his Resistance fighting at the end - cue Lockheed Martin. It is just more subtle than the typical aerodrome ones. Thank you for reminding me.

The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp is seen by some as the best British movie so far. Interesting that A Canterbury Tale and Went the Day Well? are also quoted above. I've watched the former a couple of times in the last year and I do like the way the stereotypes are crafted.


I don't know if I could get to ten but I think my favourite of all time must be Seven Samurai. For poignancy I would have to go for Bicycle Thieves and, slightly out of left field, Etre et Avoir. The Purple Rose of Cairo is my favourite Woody Allen film but I haven't seen many of his more recent ones.

      The scary thing is you dont have to travel far out of Dulwich to see the flags flying.

      In part, it’s largely down to people not actually caring about anyone or anything else apart from their own gratification (btw, there are better ways to get a dopamine fix)
