    Vodacom Dundee 1&2
    The Godfather 1&2

    The third installment for both should be avoided/never made.

    The Blues Brothers, in this case avoid the second one

    The Blue Max.

    Filmed in Ireland in 1966 and one of several 'flying films' made with assistance from the Irish Army Air Corps. It contains some of the most impressive flying of replica WW1 planes that you will ever see. All done for real, long before CGI effects.

    It so impressed LOTR Director, Peter Jackson, that he bought some of the planes built for the film and he has them in his private collection in New Zealand.

    "There was no quiet, on the western front"


    Battle of Britain is another good one with out cgi

    I rewatched that recently. Very enjoyable. Ridiculous plot but does it matter? That film would not be made now.

    You think? It's such a funny film though. I'm going to watch it later.

    Tora! Tora! Tora! or The Great Escape.

    This.

    Sunday afternoons for me were always either spaghetti westerns, or reruns of 50's and 60's war movies.

    Kelly's Heroes and The Bridge on the River Kwai would also be on the list.

    Any boys movie from the 80s really


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,440 ✭✭✭Riddle101


    E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial or Jurassic Park would be some other movies to watch on a Sunday afternoon.

    It’s very un-PC! That’s what makes it great but I think it’d struggle to get green-lit now.

    For some reason I associate Sunday afternoon films with "Exodus".

    The theme music always reminds me of tea on a Sunday evening and school tomorrow.


  • Registered Users Posts: 373 ✭✭Aska


    Any of the Ealing comedies from back in the day.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,615 ✭✭✭✭mariaalice


    What is the film where the lepers are living in a cave used to terrify me as a child, I assocate Sunday afternoon films with old melodramas or world war two films and epic films with a religious thems.

    Ben Hur perhaps, the valley of lepers?

    The only other movie I can think of with lepers is Papillon and from memory they were on an island.
