I’m not a big fan of war movies. A lot of the books I read have wars in them though.

Hotel Rwanda is an impressive film. When I saw the movie I had just read a memoir of a woman who survived ‘Rwanda’ (amongst others by lying squeezed under a kitchen sink for days), so it hit me really hard.

But.. I hated La vita è bella! So many people, so many different opinions

Wow, I didn’t even think of any of the movies you suggested, but of the ones I’ve seen, I’ve liked all of them too.

I know what you mean about the low expectations. Hopefully your trip will rise above its potential!

I can’t say I really enjoy war movies, but I watch them occasionally. Reluctantly. Although I recently got into watching Foyle’s War, which is set during WWII in Great Britain. It is a BBC series I think, and is about everyday life during the war. Pretty worthwhile.

I hadn’t even thought of the last three as being “war” movies, but you’re quite right. Thanks for that

I read more war books than watch war films. That being said, I haven’t seen any of the films you mentioned.

I Love this…

“I like these war movies because they tell truth. They’re not fun or easy to watch, but I believe the message is important.”

War movies whatever they are – are apart of our history and not meant to be fun and sex up – some good choices you have there..

I have kids so for me i have to have the books to go and the odd crossword puzzles in my bag at all times….

My husband watches practically every war movie that comes out, so sometimes I sit and watch along with him. My favourite so far is the HBO series Band of Brothers, it’s so heartbreaking and touching.

Have you heard of the product CMD? It’s not medicine, it’s just all pure minerals, concentrated, from the Salt Lake, and it helps with sunburns. My dad-in-law who is quite like you visited our beaches and he couldn’t sleep because of his burns. I put CMD on his skin and after an instant of pain, it all went away. He now refers to it as magic potion. I also use it for burns I get from cooking. The burns always go away, leaving no scars, for as long as I put CMD on the skin immediately. You can find it online (Concentrace Mineral Drops).

Life is beautiful is a wonderful film. Begnini managed to make people laugh and cry at the same time, it’s a masterpiece.
My reading habits to change much either. Happy weekend! Rikki
