kohlenklau Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I saw a WW2 movie many years ago and cannot remember the name. It was in color. Hollywood movie or maybe foreign, 50;s, 60;s 70;s. probably Definitely german troops as the "enemy" pretty sure it was US troops in Italy. One scene shows shell being loaded in a german gun, maybe antitank gun, and camera somehow is positioned in the barrel so it looks out as the shell is fired off. Not CGI, some other older fashioned trick photography. I HAD thought it was "walk in the sun" but that is B&W and I watched it again recently and it was NOT the same movie... anybody? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umlaut Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Dont know the film - but I have a similar question: When I was a kid it saw clip on tv from a war movie. As I remember it, an old lady is sitting in her living room when a tank comes crashing though the wall. She stares at it stunned, but unharmed. I remember thinking: "Wow, this must be the coolest film in the world. I have to see that". But I have no idea which film it is. Anyone here that knows it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazing 88's Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 "ANZIO" With Robert Mitchum? Do you remember if there was a scene with the Americans walking into a trap the Germans setup in a valley with haystacks that were machine gun nests? German tanks came over the ridge and started blasting away as well... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohlenklau Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 Anrew H, Nope, I know big red one very well and it isn't that movie. Thanks anyway Blazing, it wasn't Anzio I also know that movie real well, my favorite part is with the 2 or 3 German snipers. Thanks anyway. Umlaut, hmmm, the only old lady part in a war movie I know is A bridge Too far. The paras take over her house and after a few days she gets dressed and walks out to get a taxi and gets shot. Sad. Though as a kid I thought it was funny, maybe I watched too much Monty Python. Hey, maybe it was "1941"? It was not a tank that crashed into her house but I think it was a 40mm AA gun barrel went through her front door. try that movie? I guess it also depends on how old you are... I guess I will try some database searches... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umlaut Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 @kohlenkau: Yes, I should of course have mentioned when I saw the clip. I guess it must have been sometime between 1972 and 1976 (I guess that rules out 1941). And it is definitely not A Bridge too Far, I´ve seen that several times. :-) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theFightingSeabee Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Wild guess... Patton? I also have a WW2 movie I'd like to see again. It's about US Marines in the Pacific. It is full of scenes of the characters thinking of back home, and when they do, it's like a slide show. I saw it in the mid '90's and have never seen it since. ??? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pak40 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Thin Red Line? Thin Red Line came out in late 90s and was US Army, not marines. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theFightingSeabee Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Thin Red Line came out in late 90s and was US Army, not marines. Yeah, this one was more likely made in the early/mid '60's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwolf Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 I also have a movie I'd like to rewatch if anyone can identify it. It was focusing on a British soldier in the ETO and mostly played in fall foliage with him being alone hopping through houses and the like. Not much to go with but also sounds obscure enough that there maybe was only one? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
