  1. For me, the best movie means if you see it on TV, you'll stop whatever you're doing to watch it despite the fact you've seen it before.

     

    1.  Cross of Iron:  Best land battle scenes ever....  and James Mason

     

    2.  Das Boot:  Best Submarine movie.

     

    3.  The Blue Max:  Great flight scenes, and of course....  James Mason

     

    4.  Zulu!   ....  Color Sergeant Bourne!!

     

    5.  Tora Tora Tora

     

    Others that continue this list:   Gettysburg (1993).  All Quiet on the Western Front (original and Johnboy Walton versions).  Blackhawk Down. 

    I've said it before and I'll say it again:  The best war movies usually don't have any plot and very few or no women.

  2. Interesting question, Dale.

    And some interesting answers.

    I was born in Germany but didn't live there very long.  My American father didn't want the kids of his German wife to be anything but Americans.  I don't feel it's rebellious, but I have been more interested in Germans and German history than any other peoples.  He hated it.

    I model German subjects almost exclusively.  Anything USAAF/IJA/IJN that I can foil has some interest.  I recently built a MiG-25 and a T-34.  One is an interesting aircraft, and the other a was inspired by it's appearance in the movie Cross of Iron,

    Planes, Ships, and vehicles with guns.  No gun, little interest.

    I hate to say it but, unfortunately, I've lost my "want to" on this kit. I put it back in the box and back on the shelf (not the SOD though). I'll go back to it at some point but right now I just can't seem to get motivated and can't decide on just what to build. I hate it when this happens!!!! :unsure:

    It happens, John.  I prescribe a Tamiya Corsair and two aspirin.  But don't call me in the morning.
