In remembrance of the 75th anniversary of the end of WWII there comes some of the best of British movies about the war. These classics include 'Dunkirk' (1958), 'Went The Day Well' (1942), 'The Colditz Story' (1955), 'The Dam Busters' (1955), 'Ice Cold In Alex' (1958).

'Dunkirk', is the story of how in May 1940 London was living in a sense of false security. The Battle of France was going well for the Germans. The French army and British forces were surrounded on the shores of Dunkirk. One of the greatest rescue missions to ever take place was taking shape. This is a wonderful movie to watch and enjoy.

'Went The Day Well', is a story of the quiet Village of Bradley End. The villagers did not realize that the Lorries that had pulled onto the village green full of what looked liked Royal Engineers were actually disguised German paratroopers. This is an excellent film and is a joy to watch.

'The Colditz Story', is about the medieval fortress that was being used as a prison that held some of the most contentious Allied POWS. The fortress was 400 miles from any neutral territory. It was located in the heart of Saxony and was believed to be secure. John Mills plays a British officer tries to escape by navigating the subterranean tunnels to freedom.

'The Dam Busters', is a story about the 617 squadron that used a bouncing bomb to help destroy the Ruhr dams. Led by Air Ace Wing Commander Guy Gibson (Richard Todd) is in charge of carrying out the dangerous night raids. Excellent action and great film to watch and enjoy.

'Ice Cold In Alex', is a story of the war in Northern Africa. Captain Anson (John Mills) is tired and thirsty. He is separated from his unit. He evacuates from Alexandria in an ambulance and along the way he picks up some passengers, one of which he believes is a German spy. This is such an awesome movie.

This group of films coming to Blu-Ray are worthy of your attention. Film Movement brings these classics to Blu-Ray on March 31th, 2020. The quality of the films are excellent. The sights and sounds are superb. This will make a wonderful addition to your personal library.
