The soundtrack still gives me goosebumps!

Has to be the BEST movie of it's type ever made! Made by people who actually understood what it was really like in 1940, because they were there. I went to see this in 1969 and have watched it innumerable times since, never gets boring :)

MONEY AND THE FEW WHO WERE VERY BRAVE AND FIGHT ON was the honourable flyers of SPITFIRES. BATTLE OF BRITAIN.

Quote from my Grandmother born in the 1880s. “Those young foreign gentleman came over here, without an invitation and made such a noise, it’s a wonder the government ever allowed it”!

Very nice mash-up.

Couldn't make this movie today unless Dowding was played by Idris Elba, with a subplot about some transgender ground crews.

The Germans made the mistake of not attacking straight away after France fell !! They paused and allowed the RAF to regroup, re -arm and reorganise !!!

One of the best films ever made ( ? ) ......... DAVE™ ............

The input of the Polish pilots is so underestimated in this clip.

💛✌️💪💛🌟😡

Basically the Germans and Japanese started it, the French ran away, the British fought on (as always!) and those damned yanks left it over 2 years to join in. The good side won the evil side lost. The Germans are still wanting to rage war, and the French are still running..!

This is the best simulated aerial combat you will ever see on film. No CGI, no blue screens. Just actual aircraft. Screw Top Gun.

Dowding is the great, unheralded hero of WWII. Dowdy and unfashionable, but unerringly right and there when you needed him.

That comment is two year ago so it is nine

They don't make movies like this anymore...

Siwek Kazimierz Pilot 315 Mustang III Oficer RAF. Google. // Sabaton - Aces In Exile PL. You Tube.

One of my 3 favorite films of all time.

So few against so many, brave men saved their country. Remember!

> "Niemcy - nie widze ich ?? > Z tylu za toba !!!!" - it was the Polish fighter pilots Polish little chit-chat over the British airwaves ~~~ :o))

Fun fact.. Lawrence Oliviers boyfriend was Danny Kaye! 😊

Never has so much been owed by so many to so few. Winston Churchill

A quote from Sir Max Hastings from page 12 of his book "Chastise" reads:- ... """By September 1944 the RAF was dropping more bombs on Germany every night than the Luftwaffe dropped on Great Britain during the whole of 1940 / 41"""... What the Americans dropped during the day was the icing on the cake in my eyes.............. (Operation Chastise was the Mission of 19 Lancaster bombers which destroyed the great dams of western Germany)

My grandfather's brother fought in 315 "Deblinian" Squadron. When he returned to Poland was arrested as an "imperialist spy". And he was released from prison only after Stalin's death in 1954.

You cut out the Polish 303 Squadron contribution (highest score of all RAF squadrons, despite revisionist attempts of late).

Best War film ever

were can I get to see the whole movie

winston churchill should have been a tennis-player he played both sides of the court so well....numerous times throughout the 30s he said germany must be crushed and destroyed and that if they didnt start the war he would. he also promised he would get the Americans to come over and fight the war for the british...so much so many English citizens called it '"Winstons War."

Watched it yesterday on DVD, such a classic movie with a bunch of excellent actors, Curd Jürgens, Christopher Plummer, Michael Caine and many others, today sadly they couldn't make such a movie again. Just compare the old and the new Midway!

For the few............

My grandmothers brother was a young Sapper Officer still in training at Woolwich when Dunkirk began. He was shipped over with the fleet to assist with loading plans. He built a series of breakwaters using abandoned trucks, to help the little ships cross the surf and load more efficiently. Four years later in Normandy he was responsible for building the floating causeways from the Mulberrys back over the French beaches. He ended the war at 25 doing a Brigadiers job as a local Lt-Col, acting Major, temporary Captain, on the Lieutenants list but he had never received his commission because of the Dunkirk rush. He used to joke that his substantive rank in 1945 was Eagle Scout.

god bless the ramy

What kind of mess was that?

My Uncle Mick won the DFC for bringing back his bomber on one engine and saving the crew after a raid in Germany.

Respect to the great RAF and the best pilots. UK won in thr air and won on land and won in the sea.

Typical British comment, " Home and tea you deserve it ". Bring back the good old days, when British people had values , and had respect nowadays we are classed as second class citizens . I recently found out that my Late Grandfather on my Late Fathers side was awarded the George Cross Medal with Clasp. I have his old service Records given to me by his daughter my Late Aunty . The Original letter is dated 4 th of November 1941 , of which is in my hands now. The letter comes from the War Office, Hobart House , Grosvenor Place , London S.W.1. I have Photographs of said Military medals , my brother has his Medals . P.S. my late Grandfather was one of the Royal Engineers that uncovered the Sphynx's he was posted there from 05 12 1925 until 15 5 1929 . I have his complete service Records.

Great film! I love it when someone yells “break” to another pilot and he always looks behind him and gets blown out of the sky!

The Nazi lover Joseph Kennedy wanted Hitler to win!

if it wasn't for the designer R. J. Michael that designed the Spitfire we would be under German rules by now just a shame he died before he could see the great work he made

As an American, how the British faced overwhelming odds in the early stages of WW2 was admirable -- and arguably vital to the continued existence of freedom in the Western world. If Britain had fell, the NAZIs would have controlled Atlantic and the Japanese Empire would have bracketed the United States from the Pacific. That is how desperate that war was. Now it seems that the British still have some resolve to survive as does pockets of the United States, but the Continent seems to be lost. Most there do not seem to believe that their nations, people, cultures, freedoms are worth fighting for. So, with the notable exception of Eastern Europe, they invite those who mean to wipe out their entire way of life into their homelands. The war for the continued existence of Western Civilization is just as desperate today, but the multiculturalists are hell-bent upon surrendering before a shot is fired.

William Gruff. Israel, i would imaginne

Davidsewellclarke my uncle was an ‘arse end charlie’ or rather w/op rear gunner in a Blenheim. Their life expectancy was six weeks. He spent the entire war squeezed in that turret and shot down several ‘jerries’ which he felt uncomfortable about. He smoked 80 Capstan Full Stregnth a day and drank at least 8 pints of bitter every night. After the war he emigrated to the U.S. made amillion within ten years. He partied and partied hearty but always was faithful to his wife. He was 5ft 4 and had size 4 feet. I met him at my father’s funeral and he was one of the funniest people ive ever met. He died three years ago, three years short of his 100th birthday. They made them tough in those days. All four of my father’s brothers flew in the RAF and every one of them came home.

movie of my childhood.

Stupid "Big Wing" theory. Dowding and Park pretty much saved Europe.

Love the chic in this movie.. she is gorgeous... I would ask if anyone knows her name but I'm the 2nd comment in 6 years so my comment is like a tree falling in the woods.. will anyone see or hear it?

Loved the film...so many good actors in it...

The Germans never ever stood any real chance of invading Britain. Think about what it took to "invade" Europe on D-Day. It took the most powerful navy there is at that time, the British Navy, along with the industrial might and numbers of the Americans against a very weak Kriegsmarine and no Luftwaffe to speak of. In the reverse situation with Germany trying to invade Britain, a weaker navy, by far not enough transport ships, with the British Navy picking off any ship that tries to traverse the channel Germany wouldn't have been able to land enough troops at all, let alone the logistical transports.

One of my 3 favorite movies of all time. The others being The Blue Max 1966 and TORA! TORA! TORA! 1969. Beautiful aerial photography. Main reason Germany lost was lack of a Japanese carrier force. A 4 engine heavy bomber and a Mitsubishi A6M2 long range fighter. The incompetents in Hitler,s inner circle were truely strategic clowns.
