Worst Historical War Film

[clibinarium]

I'll buck the trend here and go for 'Cromwell'.

Well it does have the distinction of being the Rev. Ian Paisley's favourite film!
That was my first clue that it might have accuracy "issues"

[Zbigniew]

Money?

Yes thats for sure, but its sad to see them doing it. Good films are rare and they would starve to death waiting for
the roles.

Well U 571 is not only a bad movie: it is a shame ( Mel G is not playing a torpedo in the bonus ? )

As an AWI fan Mel 's Patriot makes me sick: by the way I know now why the british troops had not any chance to win the war: Mel with his flag is such a tremendous picture BRRRRR. 

I stumble on it a few months ago but the french movie Napoleon with Christian Clavier is wonderfully awful : this guy may be a 50 years old actor and it is very funny to see him on the bridge at Arcola  !! All the casting is a nightmare and the uniforms are a pity.

Ooh God where do i start?

Tobruck.
Bridge too far. (As vague as possible)
Windtalkers (Everything explodes into a fire ball)
We were men (Mel Gibson again), notice the recurring theme..
Troy
The 300, were did the Troll come from?

[FierceKitty]

AND the elephants, AND the metal-masked men, AND ....

[Raider4]

We were men (Mel Gibson again)

Umm, do you mean We Were Soldiers?

The 300, were did the Troll come from?

Well, 300 is the film of the comic book, and never pretended to be anything else. What did you expect?

I had the misfortune to see The Patriot for the first time this week. Oh dear.  What a pile of steaming horse-droppings.

Cheers, Martyn

I would have to say Mosquito Squadron and yes Braveheart

[Maenoferren]

Yeah but Mosquito squadron had that fab music to run around to, arms outstretched and the occaisional hand over nose and mouth, shouting "Bandits, 12 'o clock high, break, break!" fllowed by "TAlly Ho!" Admitedly that was last Tuesday but hey!
