Guest AbnAirCav Posted December 5, 2000 Share Posted December 5, 2000 <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by Mr. Clark: Now I'm REALLY confused about Winter War... IS IT available on DVD, or no?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Well, I heard back from my e-mail query to http://www.belleandblade.com/, and the response about Winter War being available on DVD was "We will have it ready for sale by March 1." So, I suspect that it was prematurely advertised in their mail catalog and that's why Silesian-jaeger has a product number, and the operator told him "yes". But, the operator Red Devils spoke to said "no", as did the e-mail response I got (and since he gave a date when it would be available he sounds pretty credible, to me). Anyway, if anybody does get a DVD of Winter War, please post the fact and where you bought it. As for Belle & Blade, ya gotta love a site whose movie reviewer gives Thin Red Line one star ...

Nick Carter Posted December 5, 2000 Share Posted December 5, 2000 I just finished reading "Soldier of Orange", about the dutch resistance during WW2, and I understand it's Paul Verhoevens first film, has Rutger Hauer, but Amazon says it's not available until April 2001 - anyone seen this film or have a copy? It was an entertaining book! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffinCheng+ Posted December 5, 2000 Share Posted December 5, 2000 I came across a thread posted early this year which mentioned some: "A Midnight Clear" "Massacre In Rome" Both of them are not in DVD BTW, I came across a TV documenatary series in 1995 on PBS, each episode tells famous battle in World War 2 with in-depth analysis. I watched the "Battle of Midway" episode. Question is: what is the title of the series? Is it also on DVD?

Panther131 Posted April 5, 2001 Share Posted April 5, 2001 Anyone know if "Winter War" has been released on DVD yet? Also, is there any news of an improved version of "Cross of Iron"? I remember hearing talk of an improved and updated DVD of this supposed great flick. I am ready to purchase this but have heard that the translation is bad and not up to snuff. Also the U.S. release is "full screen" instead of "widescreen" If not a revised & improved version of "Cross of Iron" will a european DVD version work in my DVD (american) player? Is it possible or will I need a decoder of some sort? I would rather have the "widescreen version". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are pretty good too. Sorry, I don't mean to be a jerk, but how can anyone think that Battle of the Bulge was a good movie in any aspect of film making or historical accuracy?

FnlWeb Posted April 5, 2001 Share Posted April 5, 2001 I just saw something that might answer a question I have. When I was away in the Air Force several years ago my grandmother used to put a tape in the VCR before she went to bed and record movies all night and then mail me the tapes. One of the tapes had an excellent Vietnam war movie on it. But she had missed recording the opening credits so I never knew the name of it. Never saw it at the video store and since I didnt know the name of it I didnt know what to look for. It was about a leutenant and a camera man going into the bush with a recon team. It was shot from the perspective of the guy with the camara who was refered to by the team members as "Mopic" In an earlier post someone has refered to a movie called "84 Charlie Mopic" Is this the same movie? Is my years long quest for a title finally at an end? <crosses fingers> Thanks for any replies. Funnel ------------------ "We will go forward, but you must go back." And they moved not an inch in the perilous track. "Go to the rear, and we'll send them to hell!" And the sound of the battle was lost in their yell.

Goto: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/movie-1000148/reviews.php ...and you'll read this synopsis: Told entirely through the subjective lens of a military cameraman whose assignment was to document life in the field to better educate future troops, this story follows a six man reconnaissance team lost in the Central Highlands of Vietnam in 1969.

Guest Mikey D Posted April 5, 2001 Share Posted April 5, 2001 When it first came out I truely DESPISED 'A Bridge Too Far'!!! Nice tanks (not counting the German ones), but everything from the pacing to the music was like fingernails on a chalk board to me. A good lesson in how NOT to direct a war movie. Has nobody mentioned than B&W Gregory Peck late early 60's Korean war classic: "Porkchop Hill" Infantry storm a defended hill in a night operation. Based on true events? You get to see a young Tony (Barretta) Blake take out a machine gun nest with a grenade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abuassad Posted April 5, 2001 Share Posted April 5, 2001 my 2 cents' worth would include 'the wild geese' n 'the eagle has landed'. but i don't think that wild geese is out on dvd, tho. what about eagle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would you have directed the movie, then? I've read three accounts of Market Garden and I have to say that all the key aspects of the battle are in the movie. The music by Addison is also one of the more famous film scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terence Posted April 5, 2001 Share Posted April 5, 2001 Originally posted by Jsherfy: Years ago PBS ran a series called "Piece of Cake." Its available on DVD now and is about a British figher Squadron from Sept 1939 to Sept 1940. Its got to be one of my favorite books too. Ive read it twice and loved it both times. Isn't Cattermole a bastard. Where can I get the DVDs? I really want them!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it was called either "Battlegrounds" or "Battlefields", I think it was the latter. Absolutely excellent series of documentaries and true tactical analysis. I know the series consisted of at least 6 two-hour episodes, maybe more. DVD? dunno. I don't know if its even available on tape. My brother in law taped about three of the episodes, and we watched Barbarossa a couple of months ago.

FnlWeb Posted April 5, 2001 Share Posted April 5, 2001 Wilko Thank you very much. I have been wanting to see this movie again but my copy has long since disappered. (or the wife has recorded her damned soap operas over it) Looks like I'll be making a trip to the video store tonight. Maybe I should make the wife go get it. Wait, bad idea. She'd prolly come back with "You've Got Mail" or something like that. hehe Anyway thanks again. Funnel ------------------ "We will go forward, but you must go back."

Spear Posted April 5, 2001 Share Posted April 5, 2001 I remember watching a movie several years ago about ANZAC troops in Vietman (or was it Korea?). I don't remember the title, but I thought it was pretty good. Does this ring a bell with anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
