Stugar,

You are correct with Objective Burma. You have the next question.

Chris

[Stugar]

Thanks Chris,

when I saw your hind it flashed in front of my eyes.
Now. The first scene of the movie is 11th November 1918 and the last scene 9th May 1945, and the star does the same thing on both occasions.
Which movie is it.

[Walter Model]

The Big Red One?

[Stugar]

Yeap Walter, that was it

Go on with your question

[Stugar]

Anybody else who wants to put a question?

It's open

[Brian Ross]

OK, I'll step up.

Which war movie was about a private commando raid to destroy a railway gun bombarding England from across the channel which featured one of the heroes who had a broken neck?

Very good movie and very funny. Had forgotten about it until (saw it once many years ago).

Edward

[Brian Ross]

Correct. Over to you, Ned!

[KHeitmann]

What is the name of the comic war movie about an English officer and his men guarding Italian prisoners of war in North Africa?

[arcano]

"The best of the enemies",starring David Niven and Alberto Sordi.

[KHeitmann]

That's the one.

[KHeitmann]

Ok, new one.

Not exactly a war movie. Men stranded in the desert discover a WW2 German tank burried in sand and fix it up to escape. Name the movie.

[KHeitmann]

Hint: The desert is the Sahara.

[arcano]

Too many days have passed,and no one seems to know the answer.
Can you bring us, KHeitmann?

Hi there

I am new to this wonderful forum so please excuse me if somebody has asked this question before. I am trying to track down a movie made about the KuK Austro Hungraian army in - I think Gallicia or somewhere like that - on the outset of WW1.

It's a movie really concerned with the mental disintigration of the army unit based in an isolated outpost. Various people gradually go mad in the film, and in the AH army evacuates the post -- and at the end the Russians attack. And that's all I know about it!

Except it was doing the art house cinema circuit in the UK in c. 1983. So for my money it may be a Czech/Polish/Russian film. But I know no more than that. If any of you here can help I would be very grateful.

best wishes

Tim
