Resurrecting this old thread, I have watched Hunter Killer movie recently :)

Regarding the "crazy" scene in which the loyal Russian destroyer defends the American submarine, the weapons supposedly are Gatling twin guns.

Trying to recreate it in CMO, noticed that the rate of fire is very low, even though it is considered not possible to stop the missiles, the rate of fire should be higher?

The scene in question.

I don't see K19 or The Hunt for Red October. Those are two of my favorites. I remember reading The Hunt For Red October while on patrol in the 80s. Early Tom Clancy books were so good. Red Storm Rising and The Sum of All Fears were also good books.

Two of my favs are Mr. Roberts and The Caine Mutiny. Mostly because they focus on very unheralded aspects of WW2 and modern war in general.

Dunkirk meeh, too sterile, bland, boring, the only guy telling the story was the Brit RN guy at the pier

Midway (the original one only) not impressed with the original but haven't seen the new one

Patton Biography, not war movie, and hard to watch for a non-American

The longest day The best in my opinion

Tora, Tora, Tora good, far better than that movie which shall not be named

Fury really! not good in my opinion, no tank fights alone even the invincible ones...[X(]

Hacksaw Ridge good movie, really liked it, cinematography was lacking but who cares

Full Metal Jacket Yeah I like this one too

Apocolypse Now Never get out of the f#$@ boat man!

Bridge on the River Kwai This was a bit hard to take but I cannot, not like a David Niven film

What about Zulu?

A bridge too far?

And a great one for this forum: The Bedford Incident https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058962/
All great movies. Especially like the Bedford Incident. I'll add...

-Twelve O'Clock High
-Sink the Bismark
-Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo

I really enjoy Greyhound. Tight, focused story with good action and detail of convoy escort.

Any other recent recommended non-US/Brit/French movies out there?
For a classic I would add to the list Talvisota.
