Complete arsehole if you ask me. Never looked at Tina Turner the same after that film, I think she's pretty inspirational.

Yeah, a true American hero by all accounts, particularly as his career would have got him out of the war fairly easily I would have thought....

There was a marvellous film with the man who is in my head at least, the British Jimmy Stewart, David Niven. It was about a bomber pilot who was supposed to be dead and in heaven but his angel had missed it. It had amazing cinematography for the time. Any ideas on the name that escapes me?

I remember that one. The upcoming movie based on the book Shantaram could be quite inspirational if it is anything like the book.
