Blood for the Baron!

Speaking of Alistair Maclean, what about 'Bear Island' which is also based on one of his books I believe. Maybe not strictly a war movie per se, but it's all about Nazi gold buried in Alaska.

"a matter of life and death"

not really a war film but its about an RAF pilot who is meant to die but the angel sent to retrieve his soul cant find him, fog i think.
has to go to heaven to fight for his soul.
an absolutly beautiful flick and think its the first time an english film used colour.
recommended to everyone.

Sink the Bismark is on channel 4+1 @ this moment... & operation Crossbow was on earlier thi afternoon too

just watched both of those and had an enjoyable day so far!

Oh yeah, and Battle of the river plate. Nearly forgot that one.
