Hmm, can't think of anything that would would really fit this criteria. Remember that Saving Private Ryan was something of a revolution in portraying combat. Most of the British films are made much earlier, when I first read your question the films that immediately sprang to mind were: A Bridge Too Far, Ice Cold in Alex, The Bridge On the River Kwai, The Dam Busters, The Battle of the River Plate

you left out that he thinks it's right that men should be allowed to hit their wife, for their own good of course...

Nothing personal, just curious, but if you don't want to say it, its alright I respect you privacy.

What I really wish to know is, what is the British's perspective of the American Revolution?

I am curious to know what Spain thinks of all their old colonies in the Carribbean and Latin America ;)

I guess that was a silly question to ask, very opinionated. I think it really 'revolutionized' the way most countries deal with government though. i.e. France, Britain. But I am not very knowledgable about other countries gov, and history, just the US revolution.

Glad I saw these posts, I'd be very interested to find this stuff out as well.

One series I really like although it's not about the war directly but rather how it affected the homefront is Foyle's War, a detective series as a matter of fact. The show intertwines important events from the time period and criminal investigations in Hastings.

...as i am a well known scot-born on here... O__O?
i did say "and the other stuff of course" - theres fsr more than that.

on what you have stated however - in self defence at least, yes - women are equal i that regard, but outright conneryism? narp!
missed this one - it didnt

Sachys your weirding me out all I just asked was that are you Scottish?

I assumed Sean Connery was unpopular to all of Scotland judging from your posts.

and makes a lot up as well - though havig seen some of it (one soldier demob in particular) it does also shed some light on otherwise lesser known things
yes, and well known for it ya daft numpty bastard! ;P - my post reworded right there! o___O

Oh I know it's not entirely accurate, nothing meant to entertain is, but I merely brought it up as a source of enjoyment.

Perhaps you do, but as hes looking for a British point of view... it should at leats be accurate to the conteporary time it is set, or modern day, historically accurate fields... rather than the fantasies sof an ITV executive who read Commando and Ian Fleming far too much!

All the more reason I want movies like this made.

I mean say what you will about Mel Gibson, he made the movies he wanted to make, (And no I am not bringing up Braveheart) he made the risk of having both Passion of the Christ and Apocalypto having to speak in ancinet langauges. What risk is there having a British perspective WW2 film that is not Patriotic Propagandistic drivel. (You can have some patriotism but make it apply to the characters)

I can't think of the titles of any good documentaries either, although there have been many

I did conveniently ignore that just so I could post one of the 'highlights' that I was aware of :p

*prepares self for "highlights of cliff richards musical career"

**puts on cheapo poundland cd and cranks to max

PREPARED FOR THAT WERE YA!? O______!

They don't make rock stars like Cliff any more, marvellous stuff
