In Which We Serve.
THIS is what propaganda should look like. No macho glory, just a quiet "This is going to be crap and we might all get killed but lets get on with it anyway". It still gives my morale a boost, and the war ended sixty years ago.

I like In Which We Serve - very British and understated (and very effective)! Band of Brothers was excellent - too good in some ways - very uncomfortable to watch in some parts. The Great Escape is good too, but a bit like Shakespeare - full of cliches! I also enjoy the Longest Day, but can't see what all the fuss is about Patton; this film is very highly regarded by others though. Enigma is worth watching and Hope and Glory
My favourite WWII film: The Battle of Britain. Why? It has some dated sequences, but the Sept 15th dogfight sequence set to William Walton's music is sublime.
