Hello I rearly post on this forum , but I just come back from ‘they never shall grow old’ , a war movie , documentary by Peter Jackson , in association with the Imperial War Museum (IWM) , and BBC , it was featured tonight in my local movie theater , and I was glad to notice it because I actually wanted to see the new avenger movie , I really would recommend it is , more a documentary then a movie , about the people who did witness the war from the frontlines , from the Englsih perspectieve …
It is ofcourse about the First World War , but nowadays I see 1914 as 1945 as one ‘lil century’ … Like some Historians do.

great recommendation, if this is the movie where the Finnish (pinko commie) pow’s put on a comedic play for the Fin kommandant, and the visiting German general and his staff? If it is this movie, it was absolutely funny and fantastic, even though there were sub-titles, but even so, def worth the watch.
Also, just a few others that NEED TO BE WATCHED
- DOWNFALL (there are sub-titles) the german actor who portrayed Hitler deserved an Academy Aw.
- AMEN
- THE EAGLE HAS LANDED
I CAN NAME MORE BUT IM TIRED OF TYPING.

Operation Finale is about the capture and extraction of Adolf Eichmann from South America. He was the architect of the final solution for the Jess. It’s an excellent movie!

The Man Who Captured Eichmann was much better.

Oddly enough it is a pretty fair representation of what happened to the so called “Lost Battalion”. They got the basic story pretty spot on and the uniforms and gear were too. Not a bad movie at all, especially by “Hollywood” standards.

Totally unrelated to the movie, but I’m currently reading John Prados’s Normandy Crucible, where he makes repeated reference to a SPOILER 1944 American “Lost Battalion” in SPOILER Normandy during the SPOILER American breakout from the bocage in SPOILER Operation Cobra.
How many damned battalions was the US Army in the habit of losing in active service?

I would like to mention a movie from my country Romulus & Remus: The First King (Italian: Il primo re, 2019). It’s a retelling of the story of Romolus and Remus, the director collaborated with several archeologist to make this movie in which only proto-Latin with subtitles is spoken.
Sadly I do not have many informations about foreign distribution.
