Can An you name a “war leader” whatever that means that didn’t have at least one monumental **** up for in WW1?

Give it a rest.

Your kind (ie right wingers) will never understand that my kind (ie leftists) will never be able to forgive Churchill for his pre-1939 record.

Cinematically speaking,the silver screen hasn't exactly been that kind to Winnie either.Galliopli and the awful Young Winston are,of course, prime examples.

As one of the finest minds of our time once stated,

War, war is stupid.
And people are stupid.
And I heard them banging
On hearts and fingers

Indeed.

12 Strong on Netflix. Based on true events and although it did not receive great reviews I very much enjoyed it.

If ever a country was fortunate to have the right man in the right place at the right time it was Great Britain and Churchill. How you can remotely argue against that is beyond me.
His record before or after the war is irrelevant to your comment as a war leader.

As I said before , name me a war leader that didn’t screw up.
There are also very good arguments to back up a well trodden theory that Churchill’s ww1 records helped his decision making in ww2.

Left wing/ right wing is irrelevant unless you can’t forgive Churchill for not surrendering to Hitler.

Joker. Yes, great performance by JP, perfect for the part. I felt sorry for, and wanted to like the main character because of the start. But then realised he's mentally ill, violent and self destructive.

Thats because you knowledge is limited to one film, rather than the facts.

Did you watch the one about Gallipoli that I posted for you?

Terence Malick's superb anti-war masterpiece A Hidden Life.Set in rural WW2 Austria it's TM's best film since Badlands,IMO.

It's also a timely antidote to those who seem to think that wars can be reduced to a simple binary choice between them and us.

Greavsie - 2 hr film by BT sports on his life and it is a belter. A lot of faces you'd expect to see in the documentary and a few you would be surprised at, Donald Trump being one! A great tribute to the player but also the man. Don't want to give too much away but I'd urge any fans to tune in when it is broadcast Tuesday on BT Sports.

I remember Donald Trump doing the League Cup draw on Saint and Greavsie

1917....beyond words. Possibly the best film I've ever seen, it'll stay with me for weeks.

Little Women - 9/10 - Superb adaptation of a classic story. Very surprised it didn't get anything at the Oscars

The Gentleman - Kev's choice, I wanted to see 1917. Not normally a fan of the gangster genre but I quite enjoyed this.

I am looking forward to seeing this at some point, it's the only Jane Austen book I actually enjoyed at school!

Probably should have concentrated more at school because it’s not by Jane Austen! ?

Erm.....is the film not a version of this then?

Er no....try Louisa May Alcott?

I didn't know which book it was based on and assumed it was the Jane Austen one, I shan't bother then, the fact remains it is still the only Jane Austen book I enjoyed!
