"Henry the V"

Sorry. Wrong. A propaganda film about a major war criminal, composed by a suck-up to the sovereign state and a toady to Queen Liz (Shakespeare, not Branaugh). Great lines, evil history. Like having Hitler declaim in iambic pentameter. Sorry. In particular, the line where the King is told by one of his soldiers about how "We should obey the King in spite of the fact that he's probably wrong because and our obedience will wash the stain of the bad cause out of us" (a paraphrase, obviously, I'm not Willieboy) was proven invalid at the Nuremberg trials.

"Das Boot"

Or, "How We Decided To Kill ON Behalf Of A Genocidal Maniac Despite The Fact We Knew Better."

Neither are the least bit conservative.

Sorry to take so long to get back to you, my keyboard decided to quit on me yesterday :( I'm spamming this to everyone that responded to me.

Cheaper by the Dozen, ( Read the books also :) ) to me has the message of a strong ( & in this case a Large) family , gives you the anchor in life that makes a comfort zone needed to let you be creative & inventive juices flow.

The Gilbreaths(sp?), for those who may not know, had 12 Kids & ran the 1st Husband & wife team of Industrial effiency experts in the early parts of the 20th.
