which movie.. pearl harbor?

im 17!!

and yes i do live in scotland!! and might i add i dont live in the highlands of scotland i live south of edinburgh!!

Well, I am always happy to see young un's playing this game. (New blood) Not all of us are advanced middle age flatulent couch potatoes. (I got called a smart a$$ for saying old fart)

I will refrain from any sheep comments, but will gladly raise my Laphroaig to you, and the islands in the north of Scotland. (One of them in particular, I'll let you guess)

Do you lads also say "Slaynte"?

One very good Documovie that you can pick up online is Victory at Sea. it has actual combat footage, a sound track that cannot be beat and is pretty darned honest with it's assesments and figures. It is riviting.

If you've got a lot of time there is always the 26 hour World at War series! It has a fair amount of coverage of the Pac war although being Brittish it tends to focus a little more on the Euro-Theater. Still, best documentary I've ever seen. Tons of great footage and narated by Laurence Olivier. Doesn't get much better than that!

Yeah Pearl Harbor is only based on there was a war teh US and Japan were in it and oh yeah the US was attacked but two guys in love with the same girl shot down about 100 JP planes over pearl then they ended teh war with an attack on tokyo in Ultralites.

I have that one as well, also I have Pacific War and European War done by I think CBS. I got those as gifts back in mid 90's.

Well, UB, you're not going to find too many folks here that though PH was anything but garbage... sorry, thinking of that movie is making me nauseous...

I agree with you I thought that movie was crap. As I said in my posts.

I do think the Japanese got off light. I mean with all those Arliegh Buke , Ticondaroga and Aegis cruisers there in Pearl Harbor, I mean how did we even let them drop a bomb?

hhhmmmm...my guess would be orkney or isle of skye! or maybe even the shetlands![;)]

it will probably be 'neds' who say slaynte, i usally try to avoid 'neds' at all costs particular when going to a celtic game!! where i come from theres not really a special word that every one uses!, the only i can remember livingston having was minted!!

Oban is from Skye IIRC. Actually it would be Islay.
If War in Europe is ever done, I will reinforce Islay heavily, since I need their product to keep my strategy plans flowing![;)]

glad to hear it!!! just make sure you protect scotland!!![:D]

Yes, only English thing I care about would be Bass Ale, and actually I'd rather have a Guiness.
Well Old Peculier rates highly too, I'd guess I'd have to defend England too.

Thin Red Line, was a horrible war movie. Pearl Harbor is also a bad movie.

Watch Saving Private Ryan. Watch Band of Brothers. And then you will know what is missing in both Thin Red Line, and Pearl Harbor.

for the beers sake of course!! [:D]

I vote to add the VIctory at Sea soundtrack to WITP, and while we are add it if the narrators voice could be used for all the ops reports I would never stop playing. Well maybe when the kids want to go to Barbie.com.

seen all of them! thought they were great movies/mini series!, although pearl harbour was...dissapointing to say the least, the only good parts are the attack on pearl harbour itself!

really?!?!? a narrator!!!,


who should be the narrator![:D]

Your right about that! It was a bad movie. But some of the battle scenes were pretty good.[:D]

Thin red line...worst war movie ever made....I have seen it twice and fell asleep watching it..BOTH times.

The History Channel on the tube and a good game on the computer. Life is good.

I have to agree about Pearl Harbor and Thin Red Line being dogs. A chick flick and an artsy war movie IMHO.

In Tora Tora Tora they must have put quite a bit of effort into building that set of the Japanese flagship Nagato that graces the beginning of the film. This was years before CGI too. I must admidt that I wince when I see all that Tora Tora Tora footage that was reused in the movie Midway. How cheap and out of place. [8|]

If you ever choose to suffer through any portion of Pearl Harbor again, watch closely during the attack. There is one scene where a Val bombs 3-4 Perry class frigates.[:D]

It's a good thing my friend and I waited until the matinee showing with the theater all to ourselves, because that scene topped it all. Next thing I knew I was standing with my arms outstretched yelling, "BULLSHIT!!! This isn't supposed to be Final Countdown!"
