De slag om de Schelde (2020)
An outstanding film.
A lot of action & storyline from a Dutch & commonwealth allied view, much less gung ho than say Fury or Saving Private Ryan. Well acted with good cinematography, not quite 1917 but not far off. The Schelde Battle is forgotten, and without it the capture of Antwerp as a port would have been useless.
Quatermass (1979)
An Epic of 1970s TV Sci Fi
At the time of first viewing, I would have been around 9 years of age, probably too young to see a cinematic release. But I managed to follow the series on TV and was gripped. I'd tried to watch other Quatermass films but they'd never gripped me like this one, set in a ravaged UK with hoardes if wandering planet people and technology close to failing. The acting was excellent, John Mills was an inspired choice for Quatermass with brilliant supporting cast.
Very 1970s SFX, but no worse that Dr Who of the equivalent time period I'd say . Also scarier for a lad of my age to view as well.
