The War Below (2021)
Cliched views
Some good bits for a B movie but oh the cliches. Five miners? Haig had battalions of them digging mines from 1915. He was very keen on the idea . General Plumer was the one in charge of the massive mines at Messines . This shows how great the movie 1917 was . .The generals were not the donkeys this film shows .Haig had hordes of miners working even Canadians and Anzacs The main miner says ' we have to go back We are the only ones who can do it ' Don't make laugh . Theyd been blowing up Germans since 1915 .. And why are British going over the top with no bayonets ??
English Without Tears (1944)
Watch out for David Niven's future wife!
Primula Rollo who plays the 2nd AT went on to marry David Niven . In 1946 she died in a freak accident at Tyrone Power 's house aged 26 . She fell down cellar steps during a game of hide and seek . Broke Niven's heart .
A Stitch in Time (1963)
Pretty dire now
As a young kid of about 11 I'd watch Normans's films maybe twice in a week each film . I thought he was hilarious . But now I cringe and wince . This is sooo dated and horribly unfunny . It also makes very uncomfortable viewing now
The War of the Worlds (2019)
Pretty decent
What with the awful reviews ? I thought it was a good effort and made a change from the glossy Hollywood versions. Give it a chance . My only concern is I keep seeing a Gatling gun in the trailers . In 1904? Did the army take it out a museum?
Light Up the Sky! (1960)
Classic 50 s British movie
When I was 8 my mother took me to see this as Tommy Steele was a big star to us kids . Everyone was singing ' Little White Bull' . I remember I enjoyed it especially when the German bombers appear . Benny Hill is his usual self . Seeing it now brings back memories . It's still a pretty decent film
