In Reply to: Best war movies? posted by edta on August 04, 2000 at 18:13:41:
... Castle Keep (Burt Lancaster, 1969).A funny one this - it could almost make it onto the "alternative movies" listing which was posted a little while ago. Quite surreal atmosphere, but worthwhile seeing. I think it was based on, or inspired by, someone's memoirs - or possibly a novel by someone who saw active service.
Follow Ups:
Oh that reminds me of another one I liked... more Sci Fi than war... The Keep... Don't know why I liked it but I did, along with the soundtrack by Tangerine Dream.
"The Train". Recommended.
Paul Scofield and Jean Moreau were excellent, as well. Remember Papa Boule, the engineer? The film would have been much less in B&W. I'd see it again, if I could find it.
Gino---Yes, a very good picture. It's available on a very nice looking DVD.
