Cross of Iron BBC2 12:05 am.

Its a very decent film although no patch on All Quiet On The Western Front and Paths Of glory which 2 of the best films ever

"I will show you where the iron crosses grow"

One of the best

I've seen this, it's just the last scene that always stick in my mind

Spoiler: Show

LOL that's so cool, I've just discovered betfairs hidden spoiler feature! :)

**Another spoiler alert incoming**


Yeah thats captain stransky...coburn (sgt steiner) is pisssing himself cos stransky doesnt know how to reload his gun, as a russian boy soldier tries to shoot him but his gun jams. An absolute belter of a final scene

In the 70s etc films seemed to divide between a bit of realism, and silly unrealistic rubbish with little in between. This is the more realistic type.

It's funny how leaders have an aura. You could easily imagine Coburn as a gritty leader, and as even a PM, but not ... Robin Williams :)
