Movies and Films
This is the forum for Movie and Film discussions. Again, our topic is naval warfare in WWII for the most part.

Look at a recent movie like "The Alamo". Great historical accuracy, but it was a snore at the box office because for most people, history is boring. Look at James Camerons "Titanic". When I heard that the movie centered around a mythical love story with Leonardo DeCaprio, I just groaned. During filming there was talk that the cast complaining because they were spending hours in lukewarm water. Poor babies, imagine the real peoples plight. Aside from that I "fast forward" to the historical parts, and I can stomach it.
