This may not be the only film journalling the D-day landings at Normandy and the events leading up to them, but it is by far the best. Shot in black and white for effect, all aspects of the operation are covered, from the placement of dummy units, designed to deceive the germans into believing Calais was the target, to the tension leading up to the big day, made worse by inclement weather conditions. What makes this film special is that it doesn't just tell one side of the story, it alternates all the way through, mostly focusing on the allied actions while giving a reasonable account of what the germans were doing. This adds to the excitement when the landings take place, both air and seaborne. Historically accurate, with adequate ... Read More:

2.The Longest Day [1962] starring: John Wayne, Robert Ryan, Richard Burton, Henry Fonda, Robert Mitchum directed by: Andrew Marton, Bernhard Wicki, Darryl F. Zanuck, Ken Annakin May 31, 2004

Still a classic after all these years. Cornelius Ryan wrote two great books about single actions - The Longest Day and A bridge Too Far - both based on the extensive research involving many of the real people who appeared in the movie. In the Longest Day there is the additional plus that Richard Todd who plays Major Howard in the assault on what became known as Pegasus Bridge was actually Howard's second in command in the real assault. It's star studded and full of little cameos but perhaps the heroics of John Wayne and Robert Mitchum are a bit overblown for today's tastes. One little aside - my father, who went over the beach at Arromanches well remembered the bearded beachmaster with the bulldog called Churchill and he ... Read More:

3.King Solomon's Mines [1950] (REGION 1) (NTSC) starring: Deborah Kerr, Stewart Granger, Richard Carlson, Hugo Haas, Lowell Gilmore directed by: Andrew Marton, Compton Bennett January 11, 2005
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £11.99
Ok it's terrible by today's standards but I still love it. It's a proper Sunday-afternoon-movie, which should be accompanied by an infinate supply of tea (made in a proper pot from leaves, mind, none of this bag-in-a-cup filth) and some good biscuits, preferably ones with chocolate on them. A duvet/blanket and jimjams are also required for full enjoyment. Sublime.

6.55 Days in Peking starring: Charlton Heston, Ava Gardner, David Niven, Flora Robson, John Ireland directed by: Andrew Marton, Guy Green, Nicholas Ray March 17, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price:
This is one of my all time favourite Charlton Heston film and depicts a rare episode of International co-operation before the days of the UN, NATO, etc. The film is set in the 1900 "Boxer" Rebellion in China and shows the seige of the International embassies and legations in Peking by a huge force of Chinese Boxer forces and later the Chinese Armies. The small embassy guards from the USA, Britain, France, Italy, Japan, Germany, Austria and Russia (along with Chinese volunteers) are forced to co-operate and pool resources in order to survive and hold out. Which they do for 55 days! This epic film has some great battle scenes in the days before CGI they built a huge set and got thousands of extras, and great performance from screen legends like Charlton Heston, ... Read More:
