I have to go with The Dam Busters, my Dad did 35 missions in 460 Squadron Lancasters.
I did enjoy "Memphis Belle". My Dad (now 90) flew Halifaxs with 462, was shot down on his 5th Mission and spent the last few months in POW camp.
While I voted for Battle of Britain and A Bridge Too Far - both actual battles and well played too - but my all time favourite is Zulu.......yep, it's an oldie for sure, but also very well done, not to mention it being Michael Caine's first major role in a movie. i first watched it at Kapooka during rookie training. it's purpose to illustrate to us young soldiers, was what discipline in the field can achieve
Yep good movie Zulu - we were shown it in my Air Cadet days during edumacation on Man Management courses
So that's why we saw Zulu twice at Kapooka.
I always thought our intake was considered such a rebellious lot it was punishment. AND they made us watch Mechanized Death, about road safety three times.
It's a American safety filum about car accidents, filmed at the scene with no editing. Both cool AND gruesome.
We had about 4 guys roll there cars whist we were in Luft Stalag Kapooka, so das Kamp Kommandant thought this would teach us something.
It did. We thought it was so grouse we went to the boozer got kashtonered, and talk s..t about it for a few hours.
What it is to be 17! Thinking inside, outside and all around the box!
