Possibly the worst WW2 movie ever made was the 1965 "Battle of the Bulge", starring Charles Bronson and Telly Savalas.
What a stinker.
By no stretch of the imagination is this a Tiger II!



and the ludicrous historical goofs and other inaccuracies...

Peckinpah's 1977 epic "Cross of Iron", featuring the late, great David Warner, deserves a mention. Authentic use of WW2 tanks too.

What I can't abide is anachronistic hardware in a WW2 movie - usually post-war US tanks painted grey in a futile attempt to make them look German....

Well we now know that Eurovision's coming home, but which city will host it?

If the venue is say Wembley Arena or the O2, then we will certainly apply for tickets (my daughter-in-law is the really big Eurovision nut).

I gave Assassin's Creed Origins a go when it became a free download on Xbox Game Pass.
I'm 60 hours in now and it's pretty damn good!
You can parkour down pyramids and ancient Egyptian temples, whilst inflicting carnage on enemy soldiers and the local wildlife.
Absolutely cracking...
