OT: Has anyone seen the movie Dunkirk yet ?
- Thread starter iasooner1
- Start date
I don't think it will be released until late July. I don't go to many movies, but that one is on my list.
Aint out yet but sure looks like a good one. Them were some tough sumbitches, I tell you what. Come Back.
Love WWII history so I'm interested in seeing this movie. Thanks for the release date CT.
I'm still waiting for a really good Civil War movie....say a remake of "The Red Badge of Courage", using black and white film, smaller reenactors (or women) instead of the overweight ones used in "Gettysburg" and "Gods and Generals" (average size of a man back then was 5'7" 145 lbs), and using Band of Brothers-The Pacific type combat scenes. "Gettysburg" and "Gods and Generals" had some good moments, but there were too many Ted Turner "fingerprints" in them.
"Glory" was okay and I liked it more than the other two.
The movie "Cold Mountain" had a great scene at the beginning of the Battle of the Crater fought in 1864 during the siege of Petersburg.
Wish I had Ron Howard's phone number.

Rumor has it that Spielberg has a Civil War historically correct time piece in the works. Reported to be along the lines of Amistad. He has a slate of movies on his plate now..."The Post" with Tom Hanks & Meryl Streep and "The Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara" with Mark Rylance & Oscar Issac. The issue is that these types of movies are not considered grand slam box office draws and takes on a different tone with financiers.
