(This might not be the right place to put this so mods move or delete as you need to

)

I thought it might be helpful if members can state a genre of movie they are looking to buy/rent, and other users can browse through their collection, see what they dont have, and suggest title/s which may be of relevant value to the what the member is looking for.

I'm personally looking for a another decent war movie to buy for the weekend. (i'm not looking to import so UK titles only and not Band of Brothers of Pacific as I've already seen them)

Thanks

On June 6, 1944, the Allied Invasion of France marked the beginning of the end of Nazi domination over Europe. The attack involved 3,000,000 men, 11,000 planes and 4,000 ships, comprising the largest armada the world has ever seen.

Presented in its original black & white version, The Longest Day is a vivid, hour-by-hour re-creation of this historic event. Featuring a stellar international cast, and told from the perspectives of both sides, it is a fascinating look at the massive preparations, mistakes and random events that determined the outcome of one of the biggest battles in history.

Winner of two Oscars (Special Effects and Cinematography), The Longest Day ranks as one of Hollywood's truly great war films.

One vastly underrated war movie is Passchendaele:

https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Passc...-Blu-ray/6822/

It's a fairly recent release and I never see it mentioned much, but my dad's REALLY into war films and is really picky about which ones are good, and even he liked this one.

You'd probably enjoy that, too.
