Thread: TNL War Movie Thread

    TNL War Movie Thread

    Thread title says it all. Instead of making lots of different movie threads, I'll consolidate my war movie BS to here. If anyone else likes a movie a lot, feel free to make a separate thread.

    Ok, lets start:

    The Monuments Men


    All you really need to know is that it is a WW2 movie with John Goodman and Bill Murray. But for those that want to know more

    Based on a true story and adapted from Robert M. Edsel’s The Monuments Men: Allied Heroes, Nazi Thieves and the Greatest Treasure Hunt in History, the film stars Clooney as George Stout, a man who starts up the Monuments, Fine Arts and Archives program, which was founded in order to save pre-WWII art and other cultural artifacts from Adolf Hitler and the property-destroying Nazis. His team is comprised of Matt Damon, John Goodman, Bob Balaban, Hugh Bonneville, Jean Dujardin and Bill Murray. Cate Blanchett stars as Rose Valland, a member of the French Resistance and military who accounted for all of the French art that the Nazis stole and destroyed.

    This is the second film to document these events, following John Frankenheimer’s 1964 war drama The Train, and Clooney has his work cut out for him if he wants Monuments Men to be the superior film. I tell you what though, the poster for The Train was a lot more exciting.

    Brad Pitt will be in a second WW2 movie, Fury, coming out in 2014. The movie will be about a tank crew at the end of WW2 The movie is slated to be one of the best representations of armor on film with at least 15 Sherman tanks.

    The bad news is it has Pitt, Jon Bernthal and Shia LaBeouf in it. So who knows how bad the writing and acting will be. Maybe it won't be two hours of drug humor and Shia running and screaming.

  3. My grandfather in law was involved with the Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives stuff. I should ask him about it while he's still around.

    While subjected to the horrors of WWII Germany, young Liesel finds solace by stealing books and sharing them with others. Under the stairs in her home, a Jewish refuge is being sheltered by her adoptive parents.


    Not sure how I feel about this being filmed and edited like a harry potter film
