Assault on Normandy: Pegasus Bridge (2010)
On the 6th June 1944, Maj Howard’s Coy of the OX & Bucks LI carried out one of the greatest and most successful small unit actions in history in capturing the two Orne Bridges as a precursor to D Day. The initial part of the film traces the development of the British Airborne Forces to the stage where they can play a major part in the allied plan to storm Hitler’s Fortress Europe. The BHTV team then tell the story of this heroic action and the equally heroic follow up actions of 7 Para in holding the bridges against the might of 21st Pz Div. This action exemplified the British soldier at his best whether in The Glider Pilot Regiment, The Glider Infantry ( Ox & Bucks)or the Parachute Regiment, all showed courage skill and commitment.

As Good As It Gets
This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
