The Thin Red Line 1998
"The Thin Red Line" interposes a quite realistic depiction of aspects of the Guadalcanal invasion, replete with all the horrors of war, with the vivid dream-like flashback sequences of a number of US Army soldiers in an infantry company, as well as with the beauty of nature.

Cromwell 1970
I watched this a few days ago, and I'm glad that I did. Not the best movie I've ever watched by far, but I enjoyed it overall and learned a lot from it. If you enjoy history in general and would like to learn more about the English Civil War in the 1640's-50's, this is a decent flick to watch.

Back in the good ol’ days B.S.P.

The mechanical owl, Bubo, is my fave with its memorable and endearing antics and vocalizations. Other than that, I won't give any spoilers - give it a try!
