I had so much expectations from that movie. It blew more chunks than any other war movie I've seen. Again, Pearl Harbor was NOT A WAR MOVIE. That would be the same as calling Gone with the Wind a war movie.

Now, if they stuck with the original title of "Tennessee", I would be forgiving, but the whole marketing ploy was that it was a war movie, the next Tora Tora Tora. Though, on a humerous note, Saddam Hussein called it "The Feel Good movie of 2001".

Okay, must only have been in the States. When they started marketing it over here, there was never any doubt in my mind that this wasn't a war film. At least that I can remember; many a moon ago now...

Trying to think what it was like over here in the UK. I think it was mainly targetted as a LOVE story but with the name PH I ascribed it other things. I unfortunately dragged a mate along to see it.............. = 2 very disapppinted blokes who downed several pints afterwards to comfort ourselves.

Steven Not sure about the Spanish 109s and He-111s, but there were 27 Spitfires and 5 Hurricanes (with three flyable). Also a B-25 was used as a camera plane. This from imdb.com.

Terminus -> RE: OT: Saving Private Ryan (11/2/2005 1:39:44 AM)
Damn, 27 flying Spits... Wonder if there's more than 10 flying in the entire world today?

denisonh -> RE: OT: Saving Private Ryan (11/2/2005 3:34:45 AM)
It is called having smoke alarms, fire extinguishers, and an evacuation plan. Walking though procedures in case of a fire with family members to ensure they what to do in the case of a fire, so that your evacuation plan can be conducted without panicing, or put the fire out before it becomes catastrophic. And not playing with matches, or building a bonfire in your living room help as well.[:D] quote: ORIGINAL: Gary Childress quote: ORIGINAL: denisonh More like If you don't want to die when your house burns down, be prepared for it when it does.
