***The Black Tent(check out the scenery)
***The Beast(surprisingly, not a bad American film about a Russian tank crew in Afghanistan)Will try to get these tonight - but don't have too much hope. I am also taking with me the list of 37 Fernandel movies that were released in the US - will see how well the store does on this one. Plus the two Bunuels that you mentioned before.
***How about this one - White Sun of The Desert? All those wide-plain desert war films are strangely claustrophobic to me. The scene in the oil tank(!) is a masterpiece.
Yes, ...but I would not put it in the 'claustrophobic' catogory. Great movie, no questions about it.
***The one you mentioned is probably the Zhavoronok film from the sixties.
Yep. I recalled the name minutes after finishing the post.
***The worst would be Three Tank Crew and a Dog(loved it when I was a kid).I remember the fact that I watched it, but not more than this.
***Good call on the Sahara, Scott!
I added this one to the list too.
See you later...

Plus the two Bunuels that you mentioned before.I drew pretty much a complete blank on that list. Only managed to get The Beast and the Sahara.
I still have more lists to go through, though. Next in line are Gabin and Bourvil. No great expectation, but even just a few will do...
Victor - I'm scratching my head trying to recall the name of this one... but many years ago I saw a old B/W war movie in which a cargo ship was torpedoed by a german submarine... in one particularly horrific scene there is a lone sailor trapped below decks in the engine room.... the ship is sinking and the room is being flooded with thousands of gallons of oil... for what seemed like forever you watch him desperately struggle until he finally drowns in the stinking black goop.... what a nightmare... I cannot think of a more horrible way to die.On a slightly less horrific note, the history channel has been running an absolutely superb documentary on WWI that is available as 8-hour set on VHS tape for $99.... the footage is astounding, and there are several interviews with 100+ year old vets who recount their part in the war... the terrible conditions they endured are simply heartbreaking and the footage showing the rapid progression of "mechanical warfare" offers a frightening insight into man's capacity to create new and more effective weapons to destroy itself... after seeing this series I really did come to understand meaning behind the phrase "war is hell"... and I'm not ashamed to admit that I weeping freely at much of what I saw. Just a terrible, terrible time in our history.
