None because war is sad and tragic. However they are very informativ­e but they do make me tear up like all tragedies. If I had to pick one at gun point I’d choose Apocalypse Now, directed by Coppola who has just released a new movie, Megalopoli­s.

So many good ones, the Damn Busters, The Way to the Stars, The Great Escape, Reach For the Sky

Cliff Golledge

Too many good films, but Schindler's List has got to be the most moving

Lesley Foster

Sean Matthews

The Train with Burt Lancaster. Great film! Last black and white action film. He did his own stunts. A man's man.

Dems gunner on merchant navy ships and the awful conditions they went through with the enemy and weather, and the little ships

that helped to protect them
