RyothChatty ridiculous rating

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Phillida Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

luscher-3 As many have mentioned, fine performances by all involved. A very underrated movie in my opinion. The story telling ability of these old movies is lost on many modern films. As far as Dunkirk, many of the themes in this movie were "borrowed" in the new Dunkirk movie.

Benedito Dias Rodrigues This picture is a piece of history about the rescue of around 400.000 soldiers from this beach whom only 360.000 return, after German army has invaded Belgium and France all British soldiers has no place to hide and the Brithsh has make tremendous effort to bring them to Dover thinking in near future more prepared to face this challenge....Dunkirk was a huge defeat but after a short time Normandy beach was a revenge and victory, the movie has some weak point like the special effects like the bombs that clearly are fake among a bit holes...what counts is the history that has already proved its worth!! This picture is a homage for those who felt down forever in those sands....Resume: First watch: 2017 / How many: 1 / Source: DVD / Rating: 8

Sjhm Simple, direct and lacking in the sugary schmaltz that characterised Mrs Miniver. The real film footage cut into the story works to brilliant effect.The BEF might have been composed of regulars and early volunteers, but they were not equipped to deal with a vastly superior force that had honed their battle tactics in the Spanish Civil War three years before. The film perfectly captures the dawning realisation of their hopeless position without excessive drama.It is a shame that more was not made of the actual evacuation, but as a tribute to the "little ships" and the effort to save the combined British and French forces, this is an impressive entry. The top brass in London was certain of only being able to save maybe fifty thousand; they lifted three hundred and thirty thousand men off those beaches.Bernard Lee's dialogue with John Mills on where it all went so very wrong is one of the best pieces in the film.

karltrowitz Dunkirk is one of the best war movies ever made.John Mills puts in a great performance as Tubby Binns, as does Bernard Lee as private boat owner "doing his bit" for the country. I thought some of the best scenes were around the battle with the artillery battery in the woods. Some good special effects and totally believable scenes. The futility of war is also shown to good effect when the Stukas arrive and bomb the battery.One thing that really amazed me, was the inclusion of a "real" German halftrack during the scene where the bridge was being demolished. For a '50's war movie this is a special treat, much better than seeing the usual American halftracks with big crosses on their sides.All in all, one of my favourite war movies, one that somehow captures the ambiance of those terrible times.
