Good Old War Movie
I Liked the Movie. Good War Movie and all. But the end credits have been changed You don't see the original Winston Churchill quote after the Battle of Britain? 'Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few' You get something else and I Didn't like that someone changed quote out for something else. Other wise great still a great movieVerified purchase: YesCondition: New

So so movie
Kind of a let down. I expected a great story since this was one of the defining moments in human history. Instead the producers tried to spice it up a bit with personal human drama. I guess this is to be expected. Plus it was hard to keep the characters straight even if you knew who was who beforehand like I did. Worth a watch if you like this kind of movie, but if you are after strategy of the battle being explained look elsewhere.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Winning Formula
Released on September 15, 1969, Guy Hamilton’s Battle of Britain is one of my favorite WWII movies to date. It offers just about everything you need for a successful war picture: Outstanding Cast: Michael Caine, Laurence Olivier, Christopher Plummer, Robert Shaw, Curd Jurgens. Actually, these are only the most notable in a long list of brilliant actors. Authentic Aircraft: Later Spitfires and Hawker Hurricanes were modified to resemble earlier models of the period. The German Me109s, Heinkel 111s and Junkers 52s were licensed Spanish versions of these aircraft, the obvious giveaway being the lower slung oil cooler intakes of their Rolls Royce Merlin engines. Very believable nonetheless, and, remember, no CGI was available at the time. Keep in mind that these planes were actually purchased to make this film. Some actually flew in the movie, while others could only taxi. Some scale models were used, such as the scenes with the Stukas and the more massive bomber formation scenes. Awesome Soundtrack: For those scenes involving the Luftwaffe, you hear a kind of inspirational marching ballad, reminiscent of Wagner’s Siegfried. For the R.A.F., you get this uplifting, sort of cavalry coming to the rescue music. It’s that kind of music you find yourself whistling after the movies over. Suspenseful Plot: Not only intriguing but based on a true story of epic proportions. Doesn’t get any better than that. The Battle of Britain is timeless. I’ve watched it at least seven or eight times over the years. In fact, I still enjoy watching it whenever it comes on T.V. It’s far more captivating than most of your newer WWII movies that incorporate better special effects. Definitely worth owning on DVD.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Still top of the line for that famous battle.
I had this DVD many years ago but lost it in a house move. I am so glad to get it back as a mint copy. Although times have changed this movie still realistically recaptures the mood and activities of nearly all the stages of that famous conflict. The array of of famous movie stars is icing on the cake.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

The Battle of Britain
This is quite the war epic, with an impressive cast, and (for its time) quite convincing visuals--the film is perhaps too long, but one could argue that wearing down the viewer was part of the point. And, any film that dares put Laurence Olivier is an ancillary role shows real courage! Recommended!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

The Battle Of Britain
This is an excellent movie in which I enjoyed very much watching it. It shows how technology triumphed over an overwhelming enemy air force. The German's made a drastic mistake in bombing British cities in which they paid for this mistake with the loss of control of the skies over England. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who has an interest in how World War 2 was fought. Thank You Very Much, Robert W. AndersonVerified purchase: YesCondition: New

War movies..factual.
My 13 year old grandson asked me about war...Memorial we watched most all my collection and I explained why where and what outcome meant..Viet Nam was my war..Well my son in law retired Air Force and never had watched any war movies..He is Mormon and said told not to watch these..I offered he accepted and now I am building his collection as these went to him and will send him more. I consider these History Lessons instead of just enteraintment..will buy more...Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
