Its about true old fashioned british grit and determination to not let the foriegners grind you down.......ingeneuity, perseverence, a sense of pride, one upmanship on jonny foriegner, bravery, commeradery in the face of adversity...... and many more long words!

Cant say Im a great fan, but its a bloody good film though. :)

This is exactly why i dont like it- its like a film version of my late grandads pissed up rants of heroism.

Its only (boring) equivalent is watching the football results on a sat afternoon with that man with a voice like the one off the Mr Kippling ad's.

zzzzzzz's:)

all awesome films

breakfast club in my all-time top ten.
high fidelity is as well. Purely for jack blacks performance and john cusack being the only septic alive that could've pulled off the role. The royal tenebaums is just weird but most importantly

AMELIE...the second best film of all-time on terrestial for the first time so don't forget to watch this ALL of you i'll be asking questions later. PS:- If you like van-damme movies this is not for you

Ah well Amelie. Those are the points of why I like the film.

You'd be speaking German if it werent for peeps like your grandad, you cheeky scarab!!! I am very thankfull for thier courage back then.

I like those films of the way the English used to be, the sense of greatness, the way of life, ingenious inventions, great engineering feats, pride, all pulling in one direction, it fills me with pride.
Do we have the brains, endurance, resources and pride for our country like we did then...if there was a similar style war now?...do we fekkers like. A 1/4 of this country would be fighting for the other side already within our streets, another 1/2 would sit on the fence demanding a 100% guilty conscience free war scenario, leaving a 1/4 of us with no resources to fight for whats left!. lol. Sitting and Duck do spring to mind.

I cant say Im a big war movie buff, cos I hate it when the bloody Yanks make out it was all thier doing how we won. Yeah, they played a good part, and surely helped us out, but the films make out they were the main players!.

Anyway, it was all a long way back. lol.

Without looking at the TV guide, I can tell you that Mary Poppins, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Indiana Jones, Superman, Freaky Friday, BIG.......etc will be on! lol. Same old shiznit every year. Its like theres been no films made since 1987. lol.
