10 Desert Island War Films

[Vintage Wargaming]

I completely missed the word Island there. Put it down to early morning primer fumes...

The only reason I posted was when I realised I had misread Mark’s topic title and thought this was another valid or a bit more specialised question

Lawrence of Arabia?

Is that on an island?

According to John Donne, every man is an island....so, yes?

errrr No man is an Island, you mean....

I was adapting for Coronavirus, but yes, you're right.

What's the one with the stranded US and Japanese pilots?

Enemy mine, Lee Marvin and Toshiro Mifune.

That's the one and IIRC there was a b movie sci film version done as well.

To be honest I was thinking about a conversation I had with a friend last week who said there are almost no decent WW2 desert war films in colour.

I know LoA was not WW2, the question just stuck with me.

There was a remake of the Bogart classic "Sahara" (1995, with James Belushi).
