I’ve have been looking for this movie for years. The last time I saw it I was in my dorm room in 1981. All I remember is this—- It was Black and white and there were some bad ass soldiers sent to destroy this gun battery. The guns/cannons were enormous. Way bigger than anything I ever saw before. I don’t know how they would have cast these things. Must have shot a shell the size of a bus. The wall or side of the battery was extremely high. That was the problem they had. They had to scale this bitch at night and not be seen. Every time they tried they got hit. At the end of the movie, they show these things firing. The recoil was impressive. There were three guns of different lengths Finally the hero gets up enough to place charges and they are destroyed of course killing himself in the process. It’s not ‘The Guns of Navarone’ which is color. These guns were way bigger that the gun which was huge as well. Even though a great movie in its own right. I can’t remember anything else except those enormous guns especially the recoil and the size of the wall. I would love to watch that movie again. If you could remember it, let me know please. I don’t know of an earlier B/W version of The Guns Of Navarone but this could have been.
So after finding out how crucial the Indian Air Force was during the Indo-Pakistan War of 1971/Bangladesh Liberation War, I have been wondering if there is a Bollywood/WarDrama version of Top Gun that is set during this Time Period?
When I was young I watched a war movie and there was a scene where there are soldiers and cook comes to them to give them food and it's like a soup and a solider asked if he can get a bun with honey and chocolate and every soldier laughs but after a few minutes the cook comes back with this and gives him this
Please does anyone remember this ??
hey guys, im dying to know where I can watch or find the DVD.... I live in Canada and I haven't been able to find it on any streaming service, I checked amazon I couldn't find any offers, please help! I've been dying to watch
Funny enough, it’s been on TV the last couple of nights and as I was glancing at the guide screen, I thought to myself, “I haven’t watched that in a while. I should watch it again this week.”
Looks like I’m going to follow yogurt’s orders!
Hey all. Love the movie, I've analyzed this particular scene dozens of times. I've got some questions, though... I'm younger. I was obviously not in Vietnam and I was not in the military. Just love the cinema and appreciate some perspective. If you were over there, thank you...
First, kind of an honorable mention - before the night when the Sgt.s and Lt. Wolfe are gathering, Wolfe asks Barnes "alright Sgt, who do you want on ambush?" - Why then did he say to Barnes after the discussion, "I think in front of the men, it's necessary for me to give the orders?"
When Gardner was shot - Did the guy get shot straight in the heart? When they are applying a sucking chest wound dressing - it looks like it's literally over the heart, but it could just be the amount of blood by the core. Do you believe he was shot multiple times? Was is a shotgun? It just seems like a very massive wound IF it was one 7.62x39
Tex - did his hand get blown off? It's really dark when Doc is attending to him, I see what looks like a stump of some kind but I can't quite tell. I thought that grenade just kinda got his entire side - I didn't even know it was supposed to be his hand until I saw a similar discussion elsewhere.
On the Tex grenade thrown by O'Neil - do you think O'Neil even noticed he friendly-fired that grenade? I mean ya he's an asshole piece of shit, but he was sure ballsy telling off Chris if he knew he hurt Tex. Maybe he was trying to divert some attention?
Chris Sleeping - was the intention/unwritten rule that he just stay up till morning and let the rest sleep? If that's the case, should he have skipped Junior through half the night and woken up the other cherry Gardner? Barnes and pretty much everyone but Elias sure seems to think so - but then Barnes AND Elias also chastised Junior - so..... who does the platoon in earnest believe was at fault? Chris? Junior? Both?
Thanks for reading and let's get some discussion going over this masterpiece.
I love the movie and watch it maybe once a year but there is always a scene that makes me cringe like no other and I was wondering if anyone else felt the same.
There's a scene early on in the movie when all of the families are new to the base and the wives are all discussing where stores are and all this.
The part that makes me cringe is when one of the ladies who appears to be a bit dopey and doesn't know states that one of the local laundrettes doesnt let folk wash coloured clothes because there is a sign that says "Whites Only" this then triggers an awkward silence where a black lady has to explain the situation to her.
I don't believe that in the 1960s that there would be a single human being in the United States that wouldn't know what Whites Only means and would be shocked at learning blacks are treated poorly in this decade.
I remember almost the whole plot and scrip of the movie and I've searched for ages and I can't find it the movies plot is a cia operative going on a mission with I think 3 tier one operators and they are told to remove there patches before they land in enemy territory the reason they are there is to rescue a VIP who has been taken and torched by the enemies the enemies use taliban like weapons and two of the tier one operatives get shot by an RPG on the side of the mountain but survive and the lead runs to safety and calls in airsupport from a helicopter a f18 hornet and a reaper drone half of the movie is in the control room and the other half is from the perspective of the cia operative eventually he gets captured and escapes he finds his team in the prison alive and one if them is executed there but he also finds the VIP then there is a missile that is going to hit the prison underground so they have to escape and they barley do I'm like 75 percent sure chris hemsworth is the lead but I can't seem to find the movie on his imdb page and it isn't any of the extraction movies or 12 strong any help is appreciated.
about her time during world war 2 in Europe being a Nazi collaborator or betraying someone and in the end the young lady came over again maybe to do a final interview but found her dead. I think she threw herself out of the balcony.. the young interviewer looked a bit like Hillary swank I’ve been searching for the movie name for years because I really want to watch it again, HELP! Thanks in advance (English is my second language please excuse my grammar, again thank you )
Has there been any half decent Vietnam War movie in the last ten years?
Just watching Greyhound and I think it's one of the better war movies in the last 10 years.

Supposed to be good. Anyone seen it yet?
I gotta say this is one of the biggest jokes I've seen pertaining to WWII. Red Tails got a good bit of flak, and rightfully so, but I'd say this one makes it look like SPR. The only saving grace, Sam Waterston's probably one of the better FDR's I've seen, but other than that it's Tyler Perry/Lifetime meets Pearl Harbor. If somebody really wanted to make a movie about an African-American unit that did some shit, the Redball Express or the first black Gyrenes serving in AA units in the Pacific would come to mind vs. this horseshit. I've said my piece ✋️
O remember seeing a TikTok recently of one of the most upsetting world War movies, I can't remember it. Supposedly more intense than any of the AQONTWF movies, anyone have any ideas on what it was?
