 | I watched three in a row the other night while working on the laptop. The Sea Wolves - David Niven and a stellar cast. The Devil's Brigade - William Holden Stalag 17 - Great show

| I watched Days of Glory last night- Its about how poorly the French treated Algerian troops fighting for them during WW2. A very very good underated film-probably due to it being French and in subtitles.  |

| I was watching a film on tv probably about 2 months ago about a jewish woman who worked for the resistance and had to go undercover and sleep with one of the german officers in order to get information. It was in subtitles but was in colour. I didn't get to see it all. Does this ring a bell for anyone? I'd like to watch it again but can't remember what it was called. cheers marcus |

| I watched Stalag 17 yesterday, superb as always. When feeling down I tend to see this film, it always gets me in a better mood. I also watched Drengene fra Sankt Petri (The boys from Saint Petri). A danish film about a resistance group which consists of young lads during ww2. They started out by doing propaganda posters against the nazis etc. but as the film continues they start doing more and more serious sabotage towards the nazis, which eventually results in them being caught.

Zwartboek (2006) I really enjoyed the movie. The Netherlands most successful movie ever. In English here, no subtitles. The "you have to be a blond" sequence made me laugh. Cheers Geoff
