A triple bill of some of the most popular and acclaimed WWII movies. In 'The Longest Day' (1962) an all-star international cast re-tells the events of the Allied Landings in Normandy in 1944. Events are seen from various points of view, including the Germans', in an epic and spectacular style. Along with the 43 international stars, the film used 23,000 Allied troops and despite costing over $10 million to make, it has now become one of the most successful films of its genre. John Wayne, Robert Mitchum and Henry Fonda head the cast. 'Patton' (1970) tells of the life and times of America's most famous modern general, George Patton (George C. Scott), focusing on his controversial exploits during the Second World War. Militarily highly successful, Patton was eventually forced to give up command of the Seventh Army after slapping a soldier and accusing him of being a coward. Scott won an Oscar for his performance but didn't accept it, and the film won a further six Academy Awards. 'Tora! Tora! Tora!' (1970) is the blockbuster film covering Japan's 1941 bombing of Pearl Harbor. Told from the perspective of both the Japanese and the Americans, it draws upon the talents of four directors from both sides of the Pacific - including Richard Fleischer ('The Boston Strangler') and Kinji Fukasuki ('Battle Royale'). At a cost of 25 million dollars, it was one of the most expensive movies ever made.
