[B]Forgot these 2, ‘When we were soldiers’. Just watched it and I always cry at the end when Mel Gibson goes to the panel where all the names of the soldiers dies in the real battle.

And ‘Shindlers List’, don’t think I saw it on anyones list(Excuse the pun) as I thought it was a classic. Reminds me not to generalise about people of different nations, and that there are good and bad people in every country, including ours! The man should be made a saint if he hasn’t already. [/B]

Agree with those 2 Neal :nod: We went to the pictures to see Blade II when it was out, but that was sold out so decided to see the only other one on that hadn’t already started, which was We Were Soldiers. Hadn’t seen any reviews or even heard about it being on at Cinema but I am so glad that we went to see it. A bloody (pun not intended!) excellent film that we bought on video too (before dvd player).

LOTR Trilogy
Crying Freeman
The Warrior (Asain film)
Cradle 2 the Grave
City of Angels (hmmm howd that get there…where the edit button)
A knights Tale
Pirates of Carribean

a few others cant think of atm…
