Finally got my all region DVD player and got the full miniseries "ANZACS" - really loved it. Also picked up another region 4 flick, "THE LIGHTHORSEMEN". Great cavalry charge at Beersheeba in 1917. Gooood flick. Funny thing: ordered a flick from Ottawa (400 miles away) and Australia about the same time - got the one from Australia about 3 days before the one from Canada. [&:]

Not a lot of action in it, but there was a Masterpiece Theater presentation about a company/battalion? formed from workers at the King's Sandringham estate that was pretty good. They were wiped out in the Dardanelles.

That was good.

David Jason (Only fools and horses)starred in it.

Still noone else has mentioned Regeneration.

I have A Very Long Engagment and Paths of Glory on DVD, will watch this week.

"All the Kings Men" was the David Jason TV movie about the Sandringham Estate Pals, I only saw it once

Gallipoli has to be my fave all around WWI film. Probably as I have seen it so many times. You get a real sense of the patriot whirlwind that draw ordinary men in serving their contry and how they bore their duty with humour and resignation. One of the most moving parts is just before the diggers infantry go over the top they left letters to loved ones and even their wedding rings as they did not expect to come back.
