A squad of Star Wars Stormtroopers fire at a squad of Star Trek Redshirts, the Stormtroopers all miss but the Redshirts die anyway :)

Doh!  Didn't get it but not my favourite film.  What are 'good beans'?

No idea. With Waterloo most of the quotes attributed to Wellington were said by others.

Quote from: Gwydion on 31 October 2022, 07:16:09 PMTechnically not a war. :)
Never declared.
But we know what you mean.
(How many declarations of war have there been since WWII? Can't be many.)
Interesting. I always thought there had been a declaration from the North against the South.

Another clue, please: What one is modern? The film or the war?
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

" Whisky for the gentlemen that like it. And for the gentlemen that don't like it - Whisky."

Alec Guinness Tunes of Glory.  An exemplary British film of the 60s. Most of the actors had served during WW2 or during National Service and knew how to wear a uniform, unlike the comic attempts we see so often these days.

How about this one.  Clue: British war movie starring, among others, the stunning Sylvia Simms - "They serve the best beer in the middle east. When we get through with this I'm going to buy you one."
