Movies about The Falklands War?

[Arthur Hucksake]

Hi all,

Was just pondering something this afternoon. We have lots of WW2 , Vietnam and some WW1 films but literally nothing about the Falklands.

Why is that? Would have thought some filmaker would have had a crack at it. Like Nolan did with Dunkirk.

Suppose you could say the same about the Korean war too.

Simon Weston got badly burned on one of those ships and Prince Andrew flew his helicopter into the fire/smoke to rescue sailors.

My uncle died on that very same ship. The Sir Galahad. Never met the bloke myself mind.

Well it isn't a big event involving 'merica. Dunkirk, though a British film, was WW2 and so perhaps had wider appeal.



Not very big budget but check out an Ungentlemanly act, covers the invasion itself:

Cheers. Will watch those later.
