I managed to watch three (Russian) war films beginning to end, quite voluntarily - a record for me.



I tried to watch Brest Fortress by the way, but quickly got bored. I'll have another go again some time...!
Yeah, I thought it would be better than the usual American war movies where the big, tough, lone American soldier comes in to save the world. I will give the movies listed above a crack. Will be good to have some with good subtiltes to follow along with.
