Does anyone know if there's ever been a film based around the Falklands? (Conflict, rather than daily life).
Resurrected
The Falklands Play. banned by the BBC for years and only shown a year or two ago. Not really about the war (no fighting shown) but more about the build up. Great performance by Patricia Hodge as Maggie Thatcher.

Some really good choices. I don't believe these have been picked yet.
The Third Man (although would be Apocalypse Now every time)
A Matter of Life and Death
The Battle for Algiers/ Land and Freedom
The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (often my favourite film of all time)
La Grande Illusion
Didn't even think about The Third Man in this category - another favourite classic of mine, personally I think Welles is better in this than in Citizen Kane
Not a film but I've been watching the World At War series (saw episode 24 this morning...only 2 to go)....10am on the Yesterday channel....excellent viewing....and superbly narrated by Laurence Olivier.
