Tora! Tora! Tora!   
Tora! Tora! Tora! is the Japanese signal to attach – and the movie meticulously recreates the attack on Pearl Harbour and the events leading up to it. opening scenes contrast the American and Japanese positions.   
Japanese imperialises decide to stage the attack. Top U.S. brass ignore its possibility. Intercepted Japanese messages warn of it – but never reach F.D.R’s desk. Radar warnings are disregarded. Even the entrapment of a    
Japanese submarine in Pearl Harbour before the attack goes unreported.  Ultimately the Day of Infamy arrives – in the most spectacular, gut-wrenching cavalcade of action-packed footage ever. It’s the most dazzling recreation of America’s darkes day – and some of her finest hours.

Patton
A critically acclaimed film that won a total of eight 1970 Academy Awards® (including Best Picture), PATTON is a riveting portrait of one of the 20th century’s greatest military geniuses. One of its Oscars® went to George C. Scott for his triumphant portrayal of George Patton, the only Allied general truly feared by the Nazis. Charismatic and flamboyant, Patton designed his own uniforms, sported ivory-handled six-shooters and believed he was a warrior in past lives. He outmanoeuvred Rommel in Africa and after D-Day led his troops in an unstoppable campaign across Europe. Be he was rebellious as well as brilliant and as Patton shows with insight an poignancy, his own volatile personality was one enemy he could never defeat.
