i believe http://www.musicbox.cd/main.htm have it for 9.99 plus £1 p+p for any amount of dvds. You should have gotten it from comet when they were doing 3 for 25. titles my mate got were final destination, U571 and frequency. I didnt bother as i already had FD and frequency and didnt reallly want u571

Are you all yanks? Surely any self-respecting Brit hasn`t seen this on principle, let alone buy it!
And don`t get me started on The Patriot...

If anyone mentions `U571- the film` to me in polite conversation, my eyes bulge and I foam at the mouth.
Cue : a lengthy diatribe from my good self on why Hollywood try to rewrite history for the sake of a few bucks, etc, etc.
My mates now say `U571` to me on purpose and watch me explode ;-)
With you all the way on this one, Mark. Completely undermines the very honourable memories that we should all have of the brave Brits who were involved in the Real Life Story.
My mates reliably inform me the effects in the film are great. Who cares - if it`s historically flawed, I don`t wanna know.
Anyway, back to watching `Bambi` - cos that`s real, innit ?! LOL

Gosh! Nobody claimed it was a true story!
The dvd extras tell the true story about how it was us brits who captured the actual Enimga machine!

I think I`ve just cracked your code there Unbreakable -
`Enimga`............hmm, this may take me a while. Ah, got it...`Enigma` - am I right ?

I used to froth at the mouth at the mention of this film too. When I watched it I thought it was okay for a piece of fiction, besides there is a kind of disclaimer at the end of the film along the lines of `Oh okay then......it was the magnificent Brits really`. Anyhow, as far as I`m concerned, America have provided me with the Simpsons, Winona Ryder and the Red Hot Chili Peppers so I`m more than willing to let them have a bit of our history in return!!
