Battle of the River Plate was on film 4 the other night, saw a little bit of that. Before that the last one I watched all the way through I think was Holocaust, the 1970's mini series which I have on DVD

Battle of the River Plate is definitely a film to watch, over and over.

The realism is unbelievable. It's hard to believe it was filmed in the 50's

Downfall... I really disappointed with the lack of action. But I think the movie has some good side. Hitler, Goebbels and Himmler are look like the real one in this movie

I see the actor who played Hitler in Downfall and always think of a guy I used to work with, loader driver, Dusty Miller. Spitting image.

I have never understood how they could name that movie after the book. They essentially took a single paragraph out and expanded it expotentially.
The book was a good, educational read. The movie was...bleh.
