Nobody's mentioned Gallipoli yet? What a pile of dog eggs.

A continuing theme in the Mel Gibson big pile of anti British rubbish

Ok I'll go for A Bridge over the River Kwai

Almost finished the real life C.O. who every one thought was a collaberator after the film
IIRC cinemas were picketed by ex Japanese P.O.W pro6testing about the way the railway building was portrayed

It was on the day she was arrested.

Passchendaele

A Canadian war movie released last year (or 08)was a right laffer, which was unfortunate as I was really looking forward to it coming out. The director Paul Gross went to great lengths to re-create accurate WW1 battle scenes but spoiled it by:

Starring in it as the wounded hero sent home who falls in love with the hottest bint in town who's brother is going to war so he rejoins the unit to save said underage kid.

The bint just happens to be a nurse who coincidentally finds herself near the battlefield btw.

I wish I could describe how laughable the final scene was as our hero (Gross) drags the kid who, after getting himself blown up, landed upright on a cruciform symbol. The wounded Gross puts the cross over his left shoulder and drags it on hands and knees back across no-mans land to the admiration of the 3 Hun and the 4 Cdns that were left standing after the battle.

I'm probably in a minority but I thought the Russian film 9th Company was crap . He get all these thousands of Jihadists charging the Soviet positions then there's jump cuts to where they all seem to have disappeared . Also if you look up the real actual battle the company only lost a small handful of men

I don't think Black Hawk Down is as bad as made out . The Rangers did in fact get saved by a PakistaniUN / 10th Mountain Division force . There is a ridiculous inaccuracy when Sgt Eversman ( Josh Hartnett ) leads the defence when in fact the real life Eversman spent most of the battle back at base

Just tapped up the trailer on youtube.

Dammy, I thought America was the only place that magically made people lose their accents as soon as they got off the boat and start talking American as soon as their feet touched American soil ('cept paisanos of course, however they're spelt).

If all the battle scenes in the film go like this then you'd be forgiven for thinking that they weren't at Passchendaele, where there were 16000 Canadian casualties.

Anachronistic mannerisms and speech patterns, impossibly tasty/easy scrapping with a faceless foe, perennially fusty British...

The Canadians are going American


Edit: They've even got a token Frenchie instead of a Black man.

On behalf of an embarrassed nation, I apologise. That film was as laughed about here as I'm sure it was in the UK.

Yes, you are in the minority.
