At a BBQ last week the conversation got around to discussing Mel Gibson’s latest movie “Heartbreak Ridge”: It generated a lot of comment about other war movies and the inevitable best choice from both the men and women.
The story line is of a young soldier who, along with his graduating high school classmates, enlist in the German Imperial Army during the First World War and faces profound disillusionment in the soul-destroying horror of World War I.
The end of my film choice rivals the stunning conclusion to “Gallipoli”
What’s your favourite movie?
