I think that The Godfather is easily the greatest movie ever made, Apocalypse Now is an ok film with some cool scenes and great performances but I don't think it's as good as its hype ... same with Bladerunner for me.
But it could just be how you come by films - I've never been a huge Indy fan because I didn't see them in the theatres and only watched them on TV many years later. I'm sure I'd love them if I saw them in the cinema back in the 80s.
Since we've touched on holocaust films if anyone mentions the word good in conjunction with The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas I'll electronically punch you in the nose. It's a film that manipulates and milks it's tears from one little German boy accidentally going to the gas chambers despite the fact that people were going to the chambers ever day.

Army of Shadows is a great Jean-Pierre Melville film about the French Resistance.

The Battle of Britain
I love Spitfires
Spanish Messerschmidts were cool. Responsible for another great Caine quote “ Adolf Galland was on set as an adviser, it appeared no one had told him Germany lost the war”.

I love Spitfires
I was at the Kent Country Show a couple of years back, loads of shitty craft stalls selling tat, plenty of beer tents though. However, all trading stopped for about 10 minutes as this Spit flew over and did some gentle aerobatics. Everyone stopped and stared at the sky. The sound of the Merlin engine was unmistakeable and just sent the shivers down the spine. Awesome doesn't do it justice.

This guys story would make a great film , he wasn’t able to work in Battle of Britain due a scheduling conflict, damn shame.

@jegga watched The Beast of War the other night, pretty decent flick, amusingly though, Russian flick about the Afghan war, made by Americans...
I remember watching that way way in the day. Like the 80s. Seem to recall quite enjoying it.

@booboo Not exactly WW2.
But what a soundtrack.
Men of Harlech sing ye, sing ye

Speaking of Michael Caine, Play Dirty is a decent little WW2 movie about dubious motives.

I still haven't worked up the courage to watch Come and See.
Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence is on the to-watch list too.

An idiotic film. Best part is beginning and end, when you get to hear Donna Summer moaning over John Barry’s theme. (I’m pretty sure he ripped that melody off an old jazz song.)
Mm-mmmm, deeeep inside...

The part where she’s getting frisked below the belt was terrific. Still an idiotic film, though.
