At the age of 38, I have finally watched The Battle of Britain all the way to the end!

[Saltire]

I've only ever seen bits of it. had a peacful afternoon while the Dses were upstiars (grounded) tidying their room.

Congratulations! A cracking film...from what I can tell from the bits I have watched

But I cannot ground a 1 and 2 year old...

We made DD watch that today! She is funny, she huffed and puffed (in a jokey kinda 'oh daddy!' way) and then sat in complete silence!

DH loves a Sunday war film and a nap! He got a whole load for his birthday and we are gradually working out way through them. DD must watch them all!!

God, I remember when it first came out! It was such a mega film.

I also recommend 'The Battle of the Bulge'! It's sure to be on again soon...

My absolute fave though is Dambusters - now that I have seen all the way to the end.

Maureen - I remember as child my grandad was babysitting and made us sit through Ricahrd Burton in "The Desert Rats" all the way to the end, becasue he had been a desert rat

Oh yes!! Dambusters!! Da da da da dadadada da da da da!!! Brilliant. Good old Barnes Wallace!

I saw this at the cinema for my 12th birthday !!
ds has it on video and went through a phase of watching it all the time...I always used to seem to come into the room when Susannah York was wearing that blue shirt in the bedroom...

and as for the Dambusters,which is cracking film...my mum painted the explosions !

oooh I watched that for the first time the other weekend too (I'm 42)

just finished watching Band of Brothers recently too - twas fab. Didn't realise how much I like war movies.
