[HABA87]

The Empire Strikes Back.

Loved The Imitation Game, not sure how true to actual events it was though.
Not a film but Band of Brothers was superb, the last episode with the interviews really hit me.
I’ve never seen Schindlers List as I don’t think I’d be able to cope tbh.

I always got off on those old nazi paranoia and cold war films from the 60s/70s. Odessa/Ipcress File and shit ike that. Such great locations.

I'll add The Name of the Rose. in there too. Great feel to it.
