I picked up Pathfinder's in my local Tesco the other month in the bargain bin but still haven't watched it yet,looks like i won't be but maybe will have to just to see how bad it is. Talking about bad films have you watched the awful "Ages of Heroes" directed and starred Sean Bean now that is one terrible film. I totally agree with you about Age of Heroes, i was so looking forward to watching that but was totally dissapointed by the lack of effort that went into it....even little things like the MP40's firing with no recoil or no spent cases getting ejected from them. Also Danny Dyer seems to play the same sort of violent football hooligan character he plays in all his other films. How long is it going to be before we get another war movie of 'Saving Private Ryan' quality? Speaking of which, has anybody seen 'Brotherhood'? It's a Korean film with subtitles set during the Korean war. I loved it, and the special effects are on par with SPR, the story following the two brothers is also really good. Best war film i've seen for a while. Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War (2004) - IMDb Passchendaele is also a good one (WW1 Movie with that Canadian mounty bloke from 'Due South') Passchendaele (2008) - IMDb

Would highly recomend this Korean war film also really enjoyed this one. IMDb - 71: Into the Fire (2010)
Never heard of that one but it does look good. I think i might try to get hold of it. Cheers Here is another Korean jem: The Front Line another i would recomend. The Front Line (2011) - IMDb
I've just watched Pathfinders - £3 from Tesco. It's not the worse film I've seen - try Passchendaele. That's really bad! That said, I doubt that I'll be watching it again. Roxy
Must agree with your thoughts but the worst one I have seen must be the Fallen advertised as the best war movie since Private Ryan. That one fell straight in the bin. One Film I have just seen Two Men Went War I did enjoy it or is it my sense of humour.
I think we need more stories about events that aren't as well known as others. D-Day for example is covered over and over again. I would quite like to see movies and tv series about not so well known events. I think a series set in the Korean War or the Burma Theatre would be great. I can't remember the name of one particular movie but it was about North African Soldiers fighting with the Free French, it was something new and untold, hence it was interesting.
Saw this advertised on DVD/Bluray in the paper the other day. Never heard of it before. Anyone seen it? There Be Dragons (2011) - IMDb
Anyone watch this one? I watched a couple of minutes and it looks horrible. I checked reviews on IMDB and one person said, "I nearly shot the television." Red Rose of Normandy (Video 2011) - Red Rose of Normandy (Video 2011) - User Reviews - IMDb
