The best tribute to those who fought in WWII, 15 March 2000
Author: u04agf from Aberdeen, Scotland

Probably the greatest tribute to those who died and those who survived, touching on the aspects of loyalty and camaraderie. A great tribute, and perhaps the best way to see WWII veterans as they were - ordinary men doing an extraordinary job. Probably the greatest film I've ever seen, with an excellent cast who compliment each other extremely well.
