Waterloo - The battle sequences of the film include about 15,000 Soviet foot soldiers and 2,000 cavalrymen as extras

The Court-Martial of Billy Mitchell - cold war propaganda piece. Only mentioning it in relation to the next film. Billy bombed battleships. If he hadn't kept bombing them 'till they sank then the Navy could have measured the damage that bombs caused and taken appropriate decisions.

That's an odd slot for it

It's a BBC Film, I thought they would have shown it at Christmas

mikhail · 18-02-2021 2:40pm

I'd second that one. It's a charming light comedic biopic about them touring England in their later years, clearly made with great affection for them.

The Riddle of the Sands

I saw that last year and quite enjoyed it. There's an Irish angle: it's based on a book by the father of former President Erskine Childers.

Nosferatu, the Vampyre

Werner Herzog directing Klaus Kinski; hard to go wrong with that pair of lunatics. It's Herzog's love letter to fellow-German Murnau's 1922 Nosferatu, one of the great silent movies.
