- HD Film Tributes Supports Kamala Harris for President! - kamalaharris.com/
I've never done anything like this before with this channel, however this is the most important presidential election of our lifetime. -- Donald Trump is a convicted felon who has also been found liable for both fraud and sexual assault. In addition, he clearly does not respect the democratic process unless the results are in his favor. That is why I am using this channel (and the over one million views it gets per day) to encourage people to vote for Kamala Harris on November 5th. She supports raising the minimum wage, LGBTQ rights, clean energy, and a woman's right to choose. -- I realize that I'll probably lose some subscribers because of this post, and for that I'm sorry because I hate to see anyone go. -- Anyway, thank you for reading.
-- Soundtrack from the 1977 Richard Attenborough film "A Bridge Too Far" with Dirk Bogarde, James Caan, Michael Caine, Sean Connery, Denholm Elliott, Edward Fox, Elliott Gould, Gene Hackman, Anthony Hopkins, Hardy Kruger, Laurence Olivier, Ryan O'Neal, Robert Redford, Maximilian Schell & Liv Ullmann. -- HD Film Tributes is a channel with over three hundred movie homages currently posted.

"I took ten thousand men into Arnhem, I've come out with less than two. I don't feel much like sleeping . . ."
'Two days, they said. We've been here nine.'
@@Elitist20 it was supposed to all end before Christmas
@Big Chap I know it’s not exactly historically accurate but when he said that in the film I had a moment where I walked out of the room because his acting was so on point I wanted to bitch slap him from here to eternity. I love it when an actor is so good at his performance that I forget it’s a movie for a second
According to reports urquhart
Thumped browning on his return which they didn't show
In movie!
If only Americans had provided full support
Hell of a day, huh? Look at them, wild!"
"Have you ever been liberated?
"I've been divorced twice, does that count?"
"Yes, that counts."
That's my favorite line in the movie.
Have you got any of that Bailey crap?
Rest in peace, Sean Connery. You were a great actor.
He was 007 no exceptions
Amen
This was truly an all-star cast. Connery was just one of many greats cast in A Bridge Too Far.
@@GrosvnerMcaffrey Except for A Bridge Too Far.... he was a British captain.... and the ww2 equivalent of Bravo 6.
RIP, Hardy Krüger, Sean Connery, James Caan, Maximilian Schell ❤❤😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Just visiting here to pay tribute to the 80th Anniversary of Operation Market Garden, Lest We Forget.
Awesome movie! With the greatest American and British actors.
and germans too
@@natadraco7996 Yeah, some kickass German stars.
And poslish
Yes the best cast I can think of in a single movie since the "The Longest Day".
@@timcolder2789 And ofcourse the great music from Addison.
75th Anniversary of Operation Market Garden Tomorrow (September 17th)
Battle of Arnheim
@@StanleyJones365 he was a great soldier
My grandoncle know this operation.georges commando sasand serge captain of battle ship
For a movie of this scale made back in the 70's, it's one of the very best. Just loved the Firefly Shermans and the Pak40 ATGs. Great cast, great show.
It seems the only really noticeable non-WWII vehicles were the P-47s and Panther fakes. It is amazing to see a column of Shermans.
@@theamazingcaptainawesome3438 It showed what could be done with a little imagination, or more specifically fibre glass and Volkswagen Beetles.
@@robossuperchannel9434well yes and no. This was probably about the last time they could pull together still operational examples of the real things to use for the closer shots. Those shots of the C-47’s? That’s not CGI. They got enough flying planes and painted them up to give that epic feel of the scale of things.
Uniforms and personal equipment all 100% original, which will never be the case again in a film. In recent war films the tailoring and materials are lamentable.
En producción y efectos de guerra es una película ya clásica.
I like how the mood shifted towards the end of the video. The first part was triumphant and showed the battle while the latter half showed the human cost for the Allied, Axis, and civilians.
Basically the theme embodies what the Allies felt at the time of the operation at first they were confident overly so and uphoric as they thought that the Germans were finished as in the Eastern front army group center was destroyed and France was liberated but as the battles went on they realized that they were being naive in their estimation and planning.
@@forickgrimaldus8301 spot on
One of my favorite war movies of all time. Thanks!
And a great score by John Addison 👏
The last great WW2 war film made. Nothing made since comes close.
At the time of this film's release, the music was often claimed by many critics to be inappropriate. I think they may have missed the point. William Goldman (the screen writer) said that he broke the book down on the structure of the James Fox's speech about the cavalry arriving to save the day. At least to me, John Addison's music sounds like this idea. It's a rousing, hopeful theme about what is meant to happen. It feels like the spirit in which the soldiers had to face this situation and the same music becomes tragic when the reality of the events play out. So I don't think it's inappropriate. Either at the start of the operation or the failure at the end, the music seems emotionally correct.
This makes me so proud to be British. My Grandfather fought in the Special Forces in WWII. He won the Military Cross and Bar (means he won the cross twice). He was mentioned in Dispatches three times. He was a remarkable gentleman. Major George Duncan, you can read about him in almost any book about the history of the SBS. He was originally in the LRPG with Stirling and Paddy Maine, knew them both well and counted them as friends. He can be seen in a documentary about Special Forces, there’s a small bit about SAS and SBS on Sicily and he can be seen celebrating with other operators.
Keep his memory alive and well ! These heroes are slowly fading .
Thanks. The MC Bar is impressive. My father's cousin was an advisor for this film. He was a parachutist and was injured in this operation.
👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
That is quite an achievement, I'd be very proud of him aswell 🇬🇧
The British were ver political in this battle. My dad's cousin had a hard time from them, blamed for failure. The Poles were treated badly also. My dad's cousin got the DSO medal in the battle from the commander.
By far the best WW2 movie in my opinion,the effort put in o make it as accurate as possible is just incredible,some of Holywood's hotshots being in it and it holds a sentimental value to me because me and my Grandad watched it,it was my first WW2 film,one to cherish and remember forever
If you think this is the best, watch Theirs is the Glory and Battleground. Those are the real deal.
A bridge too far is filled with errors (just like the longest day).
Theirs is the Glory were a pure veteran cast doing what they did, they didn't have to act, just find their old slit trenches.
In Battlefield are a lot of vets as well.
Both movies are as accurate as can be without freaking the general public out.
I get bored and annoyed with a bridge too far unless I put it on as background.
@@davidbrouwers7309
Dude, what are you talking about? one of the most accurate war films to ever be made. The entire cast worked with their character real hero, the entire film was filmed in the real places where the fighting took place, and even the pyrotechnics was spot on
Brilliant, I watched it with my mum and nan👍
and no CGI ! everything real ... 1000's of extras... Brilliant!!!
Plenty of movie trickery in the scenes with the C-47s, but agree it looks much better than CGI.
Even the Star Wars Original Trilohy has those movie tricks. 1000 times better than CGI
Saw at the cinema in November 1977. Still holds it own against any war film made ever since. A stellar cast and I cannot think of any other film which has had better since "The Longest Day" in the early '60's. Very realistic battle scenes without the help of CGI and a pretty close depiction of the the true story.
0:30 Now you know why Masters of the Air feels lacking....feels artificial. While old war movies like these feel real. These C-47s somehow looks more majestic than B-17s CGI
Can't make a war movie like this again. It's like a video heritage. Compared to this real power, current picture is a shooting video game. The movie distributor can't return from CG anymore. And the actual veterans and experienced people are gone from this world.
Because all the equipment is 70+ years old and there isn’t a lot of it anymore either.
From the 50's until the Vietnam films of the 80s Hollywood could count on armies for hire such as the American, British,Spanish, or Italians
to recreate ETO battles and the US Marines and Navy,the Australians, and the Japanese for the Pacific War.
With the 70's and 80's you had the Phillippines government providing technical support for Vietnam War epics.
With modern wars Hollywood couldn't get access to the most modern American vehicles and aircraft without letting their scripts get vetted
by the Pentagon,so they went all in on CGI. Blackhawk Down is a noteworthy exception because the Pentagon approved the script.
Biggest blunder of the war. Thank you Field Marshall Bernard Montgomery.
Who is watching in 2019 great
the video was released in 2019 you muppet
In 2020 there will be a virus don't go outside and prepare your ass me? I am just a random man from the future
This movie had brilliant cinematography and art direction. It also could have had Audrey Hepburn in it too but her asking price was too high. I personally think she placed it too high because of the traumatic memories of that time because she was there in Holland during the invasion and the war. She was a courier for the resistance.
I love the fact that parachute drop was REAL! No cgi there! All serving troops too.
Yes, some 2,500 airborne troops took part in re-enacting the drop for the movie.
Chills. My Dad was stationed in England for a year, preparing for D-Day. He said aircraft flew wingtip to wingtip. as far as you could see, and the ground rumbled.
Wasn’t even d day though
I was all of 14 when I saw this in a theater for the first time....Star Wars came out this year as well.....Star Wars blew you away with the special effects work...A Bridge Too Far....Blew you away with the scale of the production....It really gave you a feel for just how massive the whole undertaking of this war was...All those DC-3's and paratroopers....It remains to this day one of my all time favorite movies period...and what a great musical score.
The composer fought in the battle.
I was there in Deventer in 1977 when many scenes were recorded there. The set was closed during the week, but on weekends you could walk around. Beautiful recreated houses.
This makes me so proud of our lads back then so much bravery they tried to shorten the war and save many lives so proud of them
We are including Todays German people. The noble and unassuming sacrifice of the greatest generation made a free Europe possible!
🇺🇸🇬🇧THESE COLORS NEVER RUN🇬🇧🇺🇸
Movies like this will never be made again due to cgi. Thank god for this movie using all real and accurate equipment.
This was my fav movie back in 1977 I was 9 yrs old. A Bridge to far > Star Wars
Definitely.
Love is star wars. Respect is a bridge too far
Montgomery's biggest failure of WW II. The deaths and captures of the British paras was a tragic and unnecessary loss.
Incredible soundtrack, amazing scenes, it owes nothing to the current movies full of computer special effects.
They don't make them like they use to.
" Where are those damn boats?"
" I went into Arnhem with 10,000 men and left with under 2,000. I don't feel much like sleeping.."
Watched this with new eyes after watching Band Of Brothers. Richard Attenborough was an amazing director.
And a great actor. He plays the role of the Big X in The Great Escape, another great movie.
The Doctor:"Just one hour, after that you can kill us all you want"
A bridge too far....1977
Kelly's heroes....1970
The battle of Britain....1969
Battle of the bulge .......1965
Where eagles dare....1969

SO At the age of 57, this is still my fav war movie ever!!!!! [ ok u got modern stuff+cgi etc, know them all!!! ] in this one we lost!!!! [ band of brothers] If you remade this to day , it would cost a fortune!!!!!!???? A Stellar cast, and a wonderful tune!!!! god bless all for there service!!!
The role played by Gene Hackman pointing fingers at Monty was right
Best War Film by a country mile and no CGI in sight , all practical effects and it actually happened
What about The Longest Day and Kelly's Heroes?
There was some dubbing of the c47's doing the droppings
M@@annedejong1040Which, lets be honest, was unavoidable. They had to in order to potray the sheer scale.
Plus it's genuinely done really well and barely noticable.
So far this movie come as much as accurate potrayed how the sky would look like at war, filled with para, tanks, medkit, cannons many more being dropped from the planes. I still waiting if any movie can accurately potrayed d-day. Saving private ryan story and cinematic and ww scenery were very good but that d-day beach scene still doesn't satisfied
John Addison's greatest score !! So stirring and memorable,thank you sir.
John Addison was also a of the battle
John Addison win a BAFTA Award for this theme; British Academy Award.
It really was an outstanding score. It made an excellent even better.
Did a mock bridge capture and crossing in 1983 some where in Germany with 1st inf division.Had this theme accompany me in my mind all the way across! Thanks for the trip down memory lane.P.S. much easier this time around.
This theme makes me very sad and extremely elated by turns. It is a very poignant piece of music and should not be let out without a warning to the effect it will have on the listener's emotions. To some very brave men, those that fell - God rest you. Those that came back, may you have (and had) rest and peace. A duty well done.
a bridge too far was a beautiful movie and that was it's problem
war aint beautiful
The planes rising above the Yorkshire terraces is phenomenal cinematography.
Albeit that the nearest they got to Yorkshire was southern Lincolnshire.
これ程の規模の戦争映画はもはや無理でしょう、当時の制作費90億今の貨幣価値でいくらなのかな？この豪華なキャストも今の時代では不可能でしょう、リメイクが不可能な超大作。
By far the greatest generation. Not many still left unfortunately.
It has Sean Connery 😂 best war film ever and along with this banger of a tune just makes you wanna hop in a tank and drive it down the road 😂
One of the best historical WW2 films of all time. Watch it all the time. Great theme and music. That and the Battle of Britain.
Well get it Sort it Out!!! Before We Have A Bloody Disaster in our Hands!!!
A Richard Attenborough masterpiece. One of the greatest War Films ever made. Amazing battle scenes and some of the greatest actors come together to honour the heroes of Arnhem. I saw at the cinema when I was 9 years old and will never forget it. They will never make a film as good as this again.
I agree.
@@artin80 ich auch .
This and Tora Tora Tora are probably my top two oldies war movies, they just did their best (with slight hollywood embellishment and I mean slight) to maintain utmosts historical accuracy
Waterloo with Steiger, Paths of Glory with Kirk, Zulu with Baker, Come and See, The Longest Day, The Train with Lancaster..........so many : )
Read Cornelius Ryan's book- the movie did it justice.
Had the British only been patient, took the initiative and reinforced the British 1st Airborne with either Sir Richard Gale's 6th Airborne or the US XVIIIth Corps under Matt Ridgway, and had they LISTENED to Dutch & Allied Intel, they could've won.
I find the theme music quite soul stirring
The composer John Addison was a XXX Corps veteran of the battle
l'opération market garden a certainement eu une incidence non négligeable dans la marche à la guerre froide : dans l'été 44, les russes obtiennent un grand succès avec l'opération bagration en biélorussie et pénètrent très profondément en europe du sud-est en roumanie et en hongrie. or, si pour les occidentaux, l'opération overlord suivi dans l'été de l'opération anvil - dragoon en provence, ont bien été des succès stratégiques, au mois de septembre, ils échouent dans leurs objectifs de pénétrer sur le territoire allemand et d'envahir la ruhr mais également de faire capituler la 19ième armée allemande qui remontait la vallée du rhône et qui, in extremis, réussi réussi a se déployer en position défensive sur les vosges et la plaine d'alsace. l'offensive finale sur l'allemagne est reporté au printemps suivant et il devient assez évident que c'est les russes qui vont prendre berlin voir vienne, et qu'ils va être quasiment impossible de la faire partir d'europe de l'est. ils passent immédiatement du statut d'alliés à celui de nouvel ennemi ...
Was there ever a more aptly named film. I understand a quote from Browning.
🇳🇱 🇺🇸 🇵🇱 🇬🇧 💐
Certainly one of my favorite war movies of all time, great theme song, spectacular Airborne scenes, fairly accurate portrayal of actual events! 👍🪂🪖🇺🇸
Polish generał Stanisław Sosabowski❤❤❤and polish soldiers ❤❤❤
Everytime I see a war movie from World War 2, I always think:
These men were so brave. If there was another HUGE war like this, would we be able to find such a great number of such people again
@HoH SiS Some fancy RC helicopters won't do much good in a full scale war, well trained and equipped GIs in large numbers are more important than drones and other similar toys. Drones are good foor gathering information but not much more than that.
British and Americans forever...back in the day these were men😊👍🏻🇬🇧🇺🇸
The final image of the little boy marching with a stick as a gun and being the only one visible in the frame after it freezes is the saddest part of the movie for me. It's in our DNA to kill and even what that child experienced, he's still playing a soldier. I just love that symbolism.
This movie was released one month after star wars
I saw this movie as a child in 1977 - went to theater by myself this was long before the idea of PG-13. It was overwhelming, not in bad way, but just in the amount of information to process. Most war movies I had seen before where the 1950s era highly sanitized allies always win movies. It took me three watching of this to grasp that the allies lost.
Since then I have also re-watched this and had had the luck of actually having romantic partners who also enjoyed watching it. In 1997 I went to Germany with my SO to visit my in-laws and we could not wait to escape family, booked 2 nights in Arnhem, found a hash shop and and spending two days baked and walked all over from Arnhem to Oosterbeek drop zones to Hotel Hartenstein to John Frost Bridge - climbing over the howitzer near the bridge. Good thing the dutch are tolerant people and just looked amused at a german and american being stoned war tourists.
It has fascinated me. I have a half dozen books on it, I have war gamed from both sides - HPS Simulations Market Garden '44, and various FPS.
We can say this is if not the best one of the best war movies
Disagree. Too many errors.
If you're not familiar with the ins and outs of Market Garden it might be good otherwise it gets annoying quickly.
For reference: I live a few miles from Nijmegen smack dap in Market Garden area.
Best Market Garden movie is Theirs is the Glory, no actors, real vets of the battle doing what they did a year before the filming in the exact places that they were in.
So many young men lost. Thank you for your service.
It was the fault of your generals.
Such a big loss.
Congratulations on your skilfull juxtaposition of tone of music and imagery.
'You scared the shit out of me, you stupid bastard.'
'You did a fine job yourself, sir, if it makes you feel any better.'
'You're goddamn right it does.'
The Best war movie ever!
Another masterful edition. Thanks for your great job.
Very good work i love this film so much
Wonderful art that you have created here, thank you so much!
Love this film!
A couple of thoughts: I loved the movie though it was terribly sad. That being said, I thought the film was overly 'star studded' and in some ways that distracted from the overall story.
My father watched this with me. I commented how the 'liberation' scenes looked 'very fun'. My father (who lived thru 'The Occupation' in The Balkans) told me very seriously that the 'fun' was being bought at a VERY high price.
The Ensemble I find helps, as the blame can't be placed on one person and is spread out like it should be.
@@eagletanker Sometimes I feel that the battle, like Normandy in Longest Day would best be served by a multi part miniseries with an ensemble cast of 'relative unknowns'. Like Band of Brothers: each episode handling a different day or a different unit's perspective.
I work at the brose factory in Coventry. It is a German family owned company. My Late Father worked as a riveter on the Dakota aircraft after the war. The German people are perfectly alright.
THIS GREAT 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 MOVIE IS SOMETHING ALL HISTORY CLASSES SHOULD WATCH 🇺🇸 🇬🇧
Connery's character General Urquhart was reputed to be the highest ranking officer to personally kill an enemy combatant in WW2. It actually was General Mc Arthur outside his CP in the Philippines in 1944 with his .45 ironically 40 years after his first combat kill with a pistol in the Philippines.
True depictions of events brave men and a fitting film score
I loved the scene where Robert Redford says he intends to cross the river like George Washington.
I remember him reciting the Hail Mary over and over, in that endless rowing across that river.
Hail Mary
Nothing but first rate actors and a great director. That is what makes this war movie one of the best of all time. I don't think they could ever gather so much talent these days to make a film like this again
Love the movie. Wish Hollywood would finish the trilogy.
MGM was going to make "The Last Battle" in 1968, but ran out of money. Unfortunately, if made today, it would probably have to be financed by China, which means it would have to include scenes on how the Chinese played a vital role in the capture of Berlin. (If you doubt me, see the 2019 version of "Midway". The unnecessary scenes of the Chinese helping the US airmen after the Doolittle raid were added because the Chinese demand that they be given heroic parts in every foreign film they finance.)
Believe in Jesus Christ and you will be saved, John 3:16, KJV.
This film will always be the best
Great clip. Best war film ever made
80 year's ago...RIP..🙏
Greatest war film ever made.
They were just so close
A great film. Without question. And a great Marshal theme. God Bless Her Majesty The Queen.
Gaylords reunited
Probably one of the best 'true' war films ever made
may contain spoilers it happened nearly 80 years ago
Bellísimo! Como siempre, un gran trabajo!
One of the best war movies I have ever seen.
“Abide with me....”🎵
Great plan by field marshal Montgomery. History would have been different if second world war had ended in November 1944.
But unfortunately it didn't.
The Allies: Suffering a massive operational defeat with tens of thousands of casualties
John Addison 33 years latter: **Absolute upbeat banger**
Indrukwekkend Main Theme. Vele adembenemende scenes. De laatste slotscene is zeker adembenemend gefilmd en uitgebeeld: het gezin dat vertrekt in de verte en vooral het kind op afstandje er achteraan. Heel emotioneel en treffend in beeld gebracht.

great theme song, great movie to me

People actually critized him being to young for the roll of general Gavin. When infant he was older than the general.
The opening credits always make the hairs stand up. Incredible film and cast. Great video!
Un des plus grands film de guerre ! Bravo
