Spoonie Posted May 15, 2005 Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 that film is about a year long but it's tremendous!!!and i'd say apocalypse now is the greatest of all the war movies. it's a work of art.of course, saving private ryan is a modern epic and the beach landing is outstanding so it's no shock that it won. most people will have seen it but those who watch this kind of shit are less likely to have watched hamburger hill etc. so they'd switch off after SPR has been on./x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benji Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Dunno....Battle of bannockburn and battle of Culloden something like that..?Braveheart shite??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Don't think it was meant to be Bannockburn, because Robert the Bruce fought that (and whipped the English asses!)and Culloden was the Jackobites & Bonnie prince Charie i thinks.Gawd knows what war then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Battle of Stirling bridge at the start. Although they left out the bridge despite it being key to the scots winnign tactics. I believe the battle of flakirk is the battle which they lose at the end. These are just battle though that were not part of a war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the battle of flakirk is the battle which they lose at the end. These are just battle though that were not part of a war.Damn you, I was just about to say that! Bannockburn is also featured, as, Fluffy, Robert the Bruce features in the film. This war may not have name, as the historians after the event would seek to play it down, but let it henceforth be known as the First Great Scottish War of Independence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 I thought Wallace and Bruce never really fought together, esp at Bannockburn? (trying to remeber 6th year history..)saying that, i do know that the film isnt accurate according to history. mind you, neither am i lol!

Guest tv tanned Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 at the end of the film, after Wallace's death, the battle of Bannockburn is featured.Some of us watch this film as an entertaining spectacle, and read books to understand history.It is amazing how easy it is to do.

Paranoid Android Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 robert hte bruce is so much coller than wiliam wallace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NARC Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 It would be classed as the War for Scottish Independence. And no, Robert the Bruce didn't really fight with Wallace, arriving too late with his cavalry at Falkirk, which didn't make him very popular. Although he managed to extract Wallace from certain death.For those of you who are into vastly over-romanticised novels of the period check out Nigel Tranter's Robert the Bruce Trilogy or "The Wallace".

Laxton's Superb Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 anyways, best war films.....i noticed they screened the deer hunter immediatley afterwards, ironic considering it is far from one of the best war films...i prefer World War one or two though....was 'All quiet on the Western Front' in it at all?i kinda knew Private Ryan would get no.1, it is a stunning opening scene though, worthy winner i would say.

fadgin2 Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 longest day bitchsrobert mitchum AND john wayne in the same film classicalso shout outs to the mighty Kellys Heroes, the dirty dozen (come on anyone who watched it the program last nite, how could you not smile at the sight of charles bronson shooting an unarmed dude from behind or lee marvin chucking all those grenades in the hole with all the guest about to be blown apart?) das boot and thus generally any film that had Clint or John Wayne kicking some evil nazi/commie assoh and zulu was robbed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Shankly Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 I think the top ten is rather disappointing, which does not surprise me one bit. Anyway my top three would be:Seven Samurai.The Battle Of Algiers. Life is beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alvin Starclusk Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 "Happy Birthday to you,Happy Birthday to you,Happy Birthday dear JESUSHappy Birthday to you""What is your major malfunction Private Pile"Brilliant.

Steve Temple Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 anyways' date=' best war films.....i noticed they screened the deer hunter immediatley afterwards, ironic considering it is far from one of the best war films..[/quote']I stayed up to watch The Deer Hunter, having sat through When Saturday Comes (fucking hell). It is very stylised, with the overuse of music to make scenes with no intrinsic meaning appear poignant, and grimy shots of a rainstrewn town inserted at random.
