Churchill was one of the biggest douchebags of the 20th century. I expect the movie to glorify him, as usual.

Which leads me to the movie I did most recently watch. My Dinner with Andre.
You know who was way over rated was Montgomery. he made a lot of blunders in the big one.

but I love WW11 movies and try to see them all. I liked the 2 pitt movies Fury and Allied.

We finally got to see Dunkirk Friday night.. Thought it was terrific and fraught with tension, arcing towards desperation, from the opening scene.

Yeah, that is the general consensus on it. Maybe having read alot about the actual event killed any suspense for me.

Could not agree more Steve! To me with seeing it in the theatre, with the dolby sound etc. it made the tension palpable!
