Dark Blue World was excellent, it was so good to see the air war from the their perspective after Germany annexed Czechoslovakia - CGI sequence extras on the DVD were interesting too

+1

Really hated that stupid love story. Just like hollywood crap. Always a love story.

Nice movie but Battle of Britain is much better....the best one.

It's interesting that the director said they used a lot of footage from "The Battle of Britain" from 1969

I have this on DVD too, it's an excellent mini-series.

But did you notice they only had 5 Spits (not Hurri's as Derek Robinson's book portrayed - especially noticeable in BoF), and of those 5 Spits, they were 3x MkII's and 2x MkV's?

Overall a great story, loosely based on the real events in BoF and BoB...

Great movie. The love-affair is a bit misplaced IMHO, but of course for a modern movie it's ok. Makes it a good movie to watch with your girlfriend...

The best aviation movie? No. Not even the best war movie, IMHO. This is a list of my prefered movies, each one of them great to watch and mostly without that hollywood-crap (with a certain exception of Das Boot maybe, which is as much based on a true story as TopGun and Firefox .....):

Tora!Tora!Tora!
Aces High!
Das Boot
A Bridge too Far
The longest Day
Memphis Belle
