Guilty Pleasures

Cybermat47 · 10-05-13, 06:51 AM

This is the thread where you post your guilty pleasures

Here's my guilty pleasure:

This movie's inaccuracy is appalling. There are S.E.5as and Albatros D.IIIs in 1916, all the people's personalities are different from reality, Richthofen has a girlfriend who he probably didn't have a relationship with in real life, the plane's move way too well, and Richthofen has a fictional Jewish friend.

...but I kinda like it

It's interesting seeing a movie shot entirely from the German perspective. There are only two other movies I know of that do this: The Blue Max and Das Boot.

And plus, it's purty.

There are movies that shoot from a German perspective. Alas, you have to go underground for that though.
One of the reasons i refuse to watch ww2 movies. Period.
Same garbage everytime from Bollywood.

Sorry, is kind of OT.

Carry on...

I can understand creating a thread about guilty pleasures, but a war movie? You might want to look around a little before starting with one of those, especially if you've posted in that thread.

Other than the two you mention there are quite a few English speaking productions shot from the German perspective that I've watched for both World Wars:

All Quite on the Western Front
Cross of Iron
The Young Lions
The Eagle has Landed
The Bunker
The "other" Bunker
The Misfit Brigade
Wheels of Terror
The One that Got Away
The McKenzie Break
49th Parallel
A Time to Love and a Time to Die
The Night of the Generals
Salon Kitty (Although not strictly just a war movie and certainly not one you should be watching at your age young man!)

Some of these are excellent and other sub B-Grade, but I'll leave it up to you to work out which is which.

Sleeping late.

There's an ultimate guilty pleasure.

I guess we would have to define what is a "guilty pleasure" is.

I don't think I have anything that I do for pleasure that I ever feel guilty about (not even when I do *that*).

Armageddon ( the movie)

I hate it, but at the same time I like it. It got Willis and Buscemi and that Russian, amazing.

But it also has Affleck and Tyler.

OK action movie, I watch it maybe once every 2 years or so.

So disappointed!

All quiet on the Western Front (1930)
Westfront 1918 (1930) can hard to find a copy
Stalingrad (1993)
Conspiracy (2001)
Germany, Pale Mother (1980)
The one that got away (1957) might not qualify though

Here is a list of a lot of movies from the German perspective

http://www.show-movies.com/show-worl...erman-all.html

Although not all of them on that list qualifies to answer your question. But in any case, there are more than just Max and Boot.

(don't tell Steve, but when I am alone, I like to watch Crash Dive with the lights off while I am laying on a beach towel with can of WD-40 and a bag of kitty litter with me. Does that count as a guilty pleasure?)

Dowly · 10-05-13, 02:48 PM

Platapus totally hates Crash Dive, especially when watched lights off and uh...
wait..

what?!

See, I knew Platapus loved us, I just knew he would come around.

Your secret is (mostly) safe with me.
