Re: Historical Naval actions that would make good movies?
Respectfully, RF, you still have to fight the battle, or play the game, to determine a winner. Or else, we Yanks would have crowned the Philadelphia Eagles the American Football Super Bowl 46 champions in August before they played a game. Your point reflects one where history is predetermined. I can...

Re: A new "Sink the Bismarck!" movie?
What the heck? Here are some of my "home" Bismarck shots patched together. There is no sound. A 30 year-old 15-inch battered Revell Bismarck model is used. Definitely not Howard Lydecker here, or polished, but it sure was fun making these. Ship explosions: http://www.youtube.com/user/nowor...

Savo Island, November 1942 was a tactical draw, or loss, but a strategic victory. In Harm's Way tried to kinda depict it, that and New Guinea, but ...

Re: A new "Sink the Bismarck!" movie?
I read William Shirer's "The Sinking of the Bismarck" 32 years ago, and then saw "Sink the Bismarck" on the local UHF channel shortly thereafter. For 1960, I watched a movie with excellent special effects (with two shots snagged from "Run Silent, Run Deep", a flick wher...
