Blue Max
Did anybody mention "The blue max"???
i dont know how i could forget about it.
it's one of my favourites. air dofight in WWI is one of my favourite subjects and "Blue Max" is the only good movie i have seen about it. Its with George Peppard, James Mason and Ursula Andress.
its quite a deep movie, about war, competition and focuses on the blue max, also known as Orden Pour Le Merite, the highest medal for airfighters.
despite being an old movie, its special effects are good and george peppard even learned how to fly a plane in order to do the easy scenes. stunts of course were made by pros.
there have others WWI movies about air dofight, but they all sucked. specially "Red Baron". i found the movie soooooo bad. Manfred von Richthofen is one of my idols, and seeing such a bad movie about him made me furious. and it's 80 % made up, not loyal to real events.
then there was one with julie andrews, which sucked too.
anyway, "blue Max" is a great movie, and the soundtrack by jerry goldsmith is great too.
