"U571' an example....so it was the Americans who captured that Enigma code machine and saved us from the Uboats.."

Hollywood is awful with history.
There have been a lot better sub movies than that one.

"You guys don't need to claim our victories for gawds sake you have enough of your own heroes."

... but worse, they dont like American Govt.
50 years ago, they'd do good movies about brits (like
the life story of Clive, Gunga Din, or my favorite move "Laurence of Arabia")
Look at most of the movies, the US military guys are the *bad* guys unless it is WWII. They made the new version of the Alamo and made out some of the heroes like Davey Crockett there to be cowards, and made it a boring overlong movie to boot.

I didn't get to the new Alamo movie I had heard some odd things about it and decided that the original with the Duke etc should be the one that remains in my mind.
Black Hawk Down is a fine movie everybody who I know who has seen says so..and Saving Private Ryan and 'The Right Stuff'and 'Apollo 13' just awesome.Perhaps the don't make movies like this anymore.

Anyway we almost speak the same language and whatever the case when the 'chips are down'we will be sharing the same foxhole with you as we are doing now in Iraq and Afghanistan and proud to do so.
