Anyone prefer watching world war 2 films from 1960's - 1970's?
Well, I got a few recommendations

1. Where Eagles Dare
Starring Richard Burton, Clint Eastwood in this major box office war films from the novelist "Alistair Maclean" (his story usually involve in heavy metal stuff)

2. The Guns of Navarone
Another Alistair Maclean masterpiece, which starring classic stars Gregory Peck, David Niven and many more joining in this adventure to blow up the big cannon located near the seas.

3. The Great Escape
An all star cast in this world war 2 prison break film of all time...! I think this is one of the very enjoyable ww2 film I have ever seen. The story is great, with many different characters rolls and Steve McQueen is the best on what he did. Also along the big casting are James Garner, Richard Attenborough, James Coburn, Charles Bronson and many more. A truly ww2 film based on the true story about the prisoner tries to escape from the war camp.

4. Kelly's Heroes
Clint Eastwood stars in this epic adventure ww2 film about stealing golds from the Nazis. The germans have tons of gold in a bank, with tigers tanks guarded too... And they are planning to get it on hand with the help of Donald Sutherland, which owns "Sherman" light tanks. A quite entertaining ww2 film with a sense of humour.

5. The Dirty Dozen[/i]
Well, what can I said about this? It's an all star cast film which includes Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson, John Cassevettes, Jim Brown, Richard Jaekel, Telly Savalas, Donald Sutherland, Clint Walker, Trini Lopez. Hmm, what could you ask for a ww2 film with all this big names stars together in a film? This film is often imitated, but never better than this! The story is quite simple, with Lee Marvin recruits the 12 members of prisoners who called "Dirty Dozen" to do on a dangerous mission.

Furthermore, there's lot more I have been watched, even a selected of italian macaroni ww2 combat film~

Pre-80's Stallone movies:-
- Rocky, Rocky 2 (1976)/(1979) film which makes him famous for his future career
- Death Race 2000 (1975) with legendary kung fu master David Carradine
Others more kinda of drama film likes F.I.S.T. (1978), Paradise Alley (1978), Capone (1975) and many more....

As far as I knew, there isn't any pre-80's schwarzenegger action films on that moment until Conan the Barbarian (1982) came out! wink.gif

Independence Day (1996)

This movie made careers!

Roland Emmerich a sort after director.

Dean Devlin & Roland Emmerich a sort after script writing team.

And Will Smith a sort after leading man!!

After the Fresh Prince of Bel Air, lost his fortunes...

Apparently, he squandered it ALL!!

Then this movie came along, and he showed the world that he has leading man quality!!

This movie was one of the first big budget movie which uses alot of CGI for special effects!!

Most of the F16 on screens were computer generated!!

There is a novel of this just before the movie was launch. I was in the period where I had to get my grubby little hands on everything about a movie before it was launch. I actually like the novel compared to the movie.

Some portions of the novel works alot better!!

If you like Scifi and Alien invasion and had not watched this (don't laugh, many a people on here is born after 1996) give this a try

Oh, some people like this, the transfer to BD for this movie is decent.

Have you seen the Extended Edition?
More character development plus some extra added scenes!

I do enjoyed the extended version the first time I saw it, as it was like you're never seen before
