Mitt liv som hund (1985)
Subtitles only - and good for a laugh.
I first saw this film in college. I was skeptical, but came away from it addicted. I own the film and have seen it a dozen times.
First - only watch the version with subtitles. The dubbed version isn't as accurate which destroys the subtle humour which gives lightens the movie enough to make it enjoyable.
This is a "sit alone with a cup of coffee" film, not a "crowd on the couch with beer and pizza movie."
Windtalkers (2002)
Disasterous
This film was marketed all wrong. It has so VERY little to do with the Navajo contribution, it's laughable. The last battle scene where every Japanese soldier in the hemisphere is shooting at them, in the wide-open, with automatic weapons, and can't manage to hit them? Pathetic. Adam Beach is an insult to Navajos - lacking any depth with that goofy smile that makes him look like he's had a lobatomy. I severely doubt the Navajo troops were as happy as he's made out to look.
The plot line is NOT about Codetalkers. That's little more than a thin frosting over a badly done fictional WWII war movie.
