Of war movies- Dunkirk and Hacksaw Ridge. Both are based on true stories.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest .. Another classic, Ken Kesey based novel.
.. To see Sometimes a Great Notion in the Theater would've been even better.

Thanks to the above .. Idk of one individual who's ever even seen this movie. It's always been a great inspiration to me, to keep going & stand your ground.

Reminds me of an old saying I’ve used a couple times on adversaries. “I am the rock you will break yourself against.” That always gets them.

I saw "Sometimes a Great Notion" in the theater when I was 16-17.
When Henry Fonda said "My arm just fell off" it kind of made my gorge to rise a bit, having known people who had lost arms to combines and PTO shafts.

This scene alone .. pretty devastating, profound.

Stewart Granger, I like him, lot of movies .. classic film star. King Solomons Mine (later version)/The Last Safari, etc.

Hard to pin down sometimes which we each judge as great movies. For me the production company's attention to detail plays at least some role. The 'devil's in the details' kind of thing. The movie can have all the right ingredients, yet one oopsie can spoil the overall quality and effect.

While studying the movie Dunkirk, I noticed the accuracy of the B roll audio for the Spitfire aircraft. They, like the P-51, make a very distinctive sound- that Merlin engine sound is unique. Both the P-51 and Spitfire make similar sounds because of the similarity of the engines and the overall aircraft design. One difference is the open gunport whistle that's more common to the P-51. Hard to forget the sound of either aircraft.

That was an interesting watch. I just asked a member recently what ships had the Allison V12's, simply because of the exhaust note .. struck a chord.

Movies, Film, Art is certainly subjective. "David Lynch" fan, his dreamlike mystery movies, left to the interpretation of the viewer.
But there are some great films with exceptional dialogue that provoke thought ...

Great videos

That was a nice quick lesson. Thanks

This could also fit in the “view out window” thread. Went over the hill yesterday to pick up a vehicle. On the way back snapped this shot of area where the Duke’s True Grit was filmed. Not a bad western… too bad Glen Campbell couldn’t act.

'The Tiger and Harry Black'... the first shot of the Land Rover (11 minutes in) has it with its bonnet up.

Watching it now, free on YouTube. Stewart Granger's great ..

 

[Major Bonkers]

So am I! Some rather alarming negligence in awareness where the rifle is pointing.

 

[Daniel Cary]

Oh dear God, it's on .. again!
