burlington Posted 15 January , 2004 Posted 15 January , 2004 From what I can gather the History Channel is starting a short series of war films on Saturday afternoons. This Saturday the film is 'All quiet on the Western Front' though I don't know if it is the original version (was there more than one?)
Guest Ian Bowbrick Posted 15 January , 2004 Posted 15 January , 2004 Its not! Its the one with John Boy from the Waltons and Ernest Borgnine! Still worth watching IMHO Ian
Gary Samson Posted 15 January , 2004 Posted 15 January , 2004 Thanks for the heads up on this one, burlington. I must remember to set the VCR! Gary
salientpoints Posted 15 January , 2004 Posted 15 January , 2004 Just checked out the website and the listing says: Sun 18th noon - All Quiet on the Western Front Sat 24th - Sink The Bismarck Sun 25th noon - Sink The Bismarck Doesnt go any further than that online
CROONAERT Posted 15 January , 2004 Posted 15 January , 2004 Sat 24th - Sink The Bismarck Sun 25th noon - Sink The Bismarck What's up? Didn't it stay sunk? Dave.
Davben Posted 19 January , 2004 Posted 19 January , 2004 Does anyone know if there are ww1 movies available on VCR or DVD? Dave.
Guest Ian Bowbrick Posted 19 January , 2004 Posted 19 January , 2004 Does anyone know if there are ww1 movies available on VCR or DVD? Dave. Yes - Aces High & the Blue Max is still available on VCR. Ian
CROONAERT Posted 20 January , 2004 Posted 20 January , 2004 Does anyone know if there are ww1 movies available on VCR or DVD? Dave. Two that I saw on DVD in my local "MVC" are "Gallipoli" and "All Quiet on the Western Front" (1979 version). I believe that "The Fighting 69th" is also available. Dave.
salientpoints Posted 20 January , 2004 Posted 20 January , 2004 As seems usual with TV 'short series of films' they become ad-hoc and lose interest, bit like trying to follow a normal tv series on the BBC when wimbledon or international athletics happens to be on! There seems to be no film this weekend so it was indeed a very short series of two unrelated films! Still, LINE OF FIRE: MONS 1914 is on: 30 Jan 2004 Fri 17.00 - 18.00 & 31 Jan 2004 Sat 09.00 - 10.00 Ryan
AGWR Posted 20 January , 2004 Posted 20 January , 2004 After years of searching and non-fulfilment of orders placed in video shops, I finally stumbled on the original All Quiet in a Bristol petrol station last year at the bargain price of £4.99 (1 of their 10 videos in stock!). Still the best war film ever made. I have had the other one for ages, but, in my view, it is pretty rubbish in comparison.
Somme1916 Posted 20 January , 2004 Posted 20 January , 2004 I think it was the cable network A & E that put out "The Lost Battalion" about a year or so ago. It's now on DVD. A pretty good showing especially for a TV network movie. The lead is played by Rick Schrowder (spelling). Cheers, Jon
Staffsyeoman Posted 20 January , 2004 Posted 20 January , 2004 And if you have a Freeview box, "War Walks" seems to be on a continuous loop on UK History, so you'll catch Mons or The Somme at one point or another!
