Picked up some war DVDs this week:
Cottage to Let, strangely one of the main plot points of the film is who the spy is, and yet on the rear cover art they reveal it straight away in the synopsis.
They who Dare, set on Rhodes with a team of allied commandos sent to sabotage 2 airfields. This features denholm Elliott as one of the leads.
The wooden Horse, a pow story as the prisoners use a gym wooden horse to disguise their tunnel digging.
Colditz Story, another pow film starring john mills following the various escape attempts of the prisoners. This is one of my favourites.
Dunkirk, a classic that follows the events leading up to to the evacuation from the perspective of troops stuck in France and those organising the rescue attempt. Richard Attenborough stars in this.
Halfway house, a tenuous link to war. This is an Ealing movie that sees a group of strangers take shelter in an inn during a storm. The eerie thing is that the inn was destroyed and the owners killed in a German bombing raid a year earlier.
