Okay, so if you don't know by now, Disney has bought Marvel Entertainment. Whether or not this will truly affect Marvel or comics as we know is up for speculation. Right now, everyone is losing their minds over this thing. Not to say that they're wrong for thinking this because Disney has a reputation of watering down to sell to their demographic, which are kids.
Personally for me, I don't think anything big is going to change about Marvel. I could be wrong about this, but for now, I'm staying…

"A Bridge Too Far" surrender scene... absolute classic "Fuck You" moment in films.
"633 Squadron" isn't that bad. Effects are sort of bad compared to today's movies, but the ending is something that inspired the "Trench Run" in Star Wars.
And this one is a personal favorite, although never really happened, like Basterds. Look for "The Eagle Has Landed". (Highly recommend this one)
All of those sort of took the same concept, taking Military prisoners and start to do some sort of "Suicide Mission" made the concept really sort of overdone. But when it comes to the Dirty Dozen, it's up there.
As far as A Bridge Too Far? Well, that's another one that I love wholeheartedly. It's possibly still one of the better movies out there that shows almost all aspects of a war. Britain, US, Germany, Polish, Danes.... it's great how they all worked it into the movie. It starts off a bit slow, but once the "Air-drop" happens it picks up QUICKLY. It also shows the differences between the US and British Military. Where the US has this "Let's go" attitude, the British tend to have a "Wait for it" attitude (At least when it comes to orders). It's interesting how much further they could have gotten into Holland and possibly Germany if they were willing to just push it a bit further to that last bridge. I think you'll like it, especially the "Surrender Scene", it's a classic.
I think you could probably get a lot of his movies on amazon.com.
I had a look on the uk site and it has a good few.
My experiance of Japanese cinema is currently limited to more recent action films like Shinobi, Versus and the two Azumi films among others.
I have however heard good things about his movies and I fully intend to getting round to watching them.
especially seven samurai and Ran
Labyrinth is incredible. The wonderful thing for me is how much that movie has grown up with me. There's so much in it that you can't really analyze until you have enough life experience to really understand what's going on. That's why I love it so much,,,,it means even more to me than it did when I was a kid because I can relate to it so well.
And BOWIE is always a win!
Having said that, yes, the monsters were amazing, and they did a fantastic job of staying true to the book. All of them are dead-on with every detail. It bothered me how crusty they were though! I wanted to get in there with a washcloth and wipe their faces!
