RE: a few more films...

<HTML>Some more popular films I thought of that have to be taken with a \"grain of salt\"....

**Gettysburg (the turning point of the Civil War)
**Das Boot (based on 7th voyage of U-96)
**Inside the Third Reich (based on Speer\'s book)

I own copies of these, too, and always enjoy re-watching them...but use them just as a little additional flavoring to go along with the much lengthier and more fact-based books/histories themselves.....

No harm in movies...as long as one doesn\'t take them altogether too seriously...

It\'s probably a tribute to the actual histories, that popular films are made and enjoyed about the periods in question....and hopefully leads folks to more accurate research and study...

Best,
Craig

(But I\'m on the wrong forum for any more talk of movies vs. reality...)
