I am sitting through (trying to sit through) the Richard Burton film Raid on Rommel.
There is a certain affection I have for bad WWII movies. But this film makes Where Eagles Dare look like a documentary.
This movie is a dog. Woof.
What kind of car is that? What does it matter? When I drive it, I'm Steve McQueen

I forgot to mention “Midway” from 1976. It was a film so terrible that not even an all star cast could save it.

There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB. The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed. There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

I'll mention Valkrye Really bad I assume you are talking about the film starring Tom Cruise as von Stauffenberg? What did you find so bad about it?

I was 4 years old in 1976 so a movie like Midway would have been totally over my head.
