C5 Golfer Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 I just watched this foreign film made in 2005 called "Merry Christmas" USA title, Joyeux Noel foreign title. This was so good I watched it 2X. Anyway it is about WW1 in 1914 on Christmas Eve and fighting between the Scots, French, and Germans. A truce impromptu as it was, was called and friends were made who were enemies. It is a feel good story - and even you manly men may need a tissue box nearby. It is also a good one to watch with your SO. This is roughly based on a true story - to find out more on the true story go here. http://www.worldwar1.com/heritage/xmast.htm Movie listing here http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0424205/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobD Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 All Quiet on the Western Front, a 1930 B&W movie of the book by Erich Maria Remarque is a moving account of that terrible carnage. Haven't seen it for a few years, but remember it as watchable despite it's age. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Quiet_on_the_Western_Front_%281930_film%29 BobD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
