There's like 3 good scenes in Braveheart, and Mel Gibson isn't integral to any of them. Best scene is Angus Macfadyen

The whole scene is great.

I love the scene where the train arrives and the Stukas are diving, fucking amazing.

cheesy? You are just saying that cuz it's old.

The movie is special because it tells the story of tyranny and war and oppression from a different angle.

For some reason everyone has a British accent, I don't think there was any Russian in the movie, like at all.

The whole thing with the German sniper was a complete exaggeration. In reality he showed up and was shot 4 days latter.

The depiction Russians was awfully stereotypical, brutish, stupid ect. Also random love story that didn't add to the plot .

Aye, and if he were here he'd still be taller than Aog, make more sense than targetman and have a smaller gut than TGD. I am Aradhus of Scotland and I see a whole cadre of scoundrels here in defiance of CC'S attempts to quash originality and personality. You've come to post as 3 legged men, and 3 legged men you are. What will you do with that third leg? Will you f*ck?

- 'Against CC? Naw, we will obey and we will survive and not be banned' -

Aye, disobey and you may be banned, follow their rules and you'll survive, at least as long as CC survives. But thinking about quitting, or as the site reaches its demise, many years from now, would you be willing to trade all the posts from this day till then for once chance, JUST ONE CHANCE, to come back here, and tell CC, you may revoke our membership, but you'll never take our personality!!


- 'yeah, but if they revoke our membership we can't exhibit our personality, therefore your argument is not at all convincing, and since 3 seconds prior we agreed en masse that we'd rather have our membership than fight the engli... I mean fight CC, it would make zero sense to give up all those days of posting just for the sake of saying 'f*ck You Conquer Club' -

- 'f*ck it mate, we're going home'. -

By the way, not even a titter? A stifled giggle? Some modicum, no matter how meagre, of acknowledgement that my post was funny? That there was hunour there. A moment of comedy existed, fleetingly, it came and went. No?

I get nothing. Not even criticised for thinking I'm funny when I'm not? I get the worst of all things possible, of all things imaginable.

I get ignored.

I hate you guys.

You mean... from the point of view of the hardworking and benevolent ruler who is overthrown by a rag-tag group of power-hungry revolutionaries who have managed to whip the population into a frenzy with heated rhetoric?

The most disturbing war movie I've ever seen is Blackhawk Down. I feel like it's the most realistic and therefore may be the most important.

My favorite is The Great Escape. I'm hopeful that at some point, a bunch of high profile actors (George Clooney, Will Smith, Matt Damon, Leo Dicaprio, etc.) will get together and do a war movie in the vein of The Great Escape (but please, not a remake).

Notice the word "important" in the title

I'm thinking "Black hawk down" (Somalia)
Maybe "The lost battalion" (World War I)

I haven't yet seen saving private ryan or war horse, so I can't give my opinion on those.

The Great Escape wasn't realistic, and for a lot of British people, was kind of insulting. It's a great movie, but it shoe-horned Americans into something legitimately impressive and tragic that they didn't do. See also U571, another good movie that sees Americans replace British troops.

Kind of like if Blackhawk Down had replaced the American troops with British soldiers, peeps might get annoyed.
