A Bridge Too Far Year: 1977 Attributes: Based on a Novel, Color, DVD, Letterbox, NTSC, VHS Rating:  Length: 176 minutes version also available Featured Bears: Sean Connery   Michael Caine   Anthony Hopkins   Gene Hackman   Laurence Olivier

Review: Richard Attenborough's war movie about the 1944 abortive Operation Market Garden has something for everyone. Connery, still living under the shadow of Bond, Caine, pre-Educating Rita, as well as a pre-Hannibal Lecter Anthony Hopkins and Gene Hackman who has little to do but looks cute anyway. Olivier appears in a cameo role. Not the greatest war movie but fast forward to the Bears! BearMovie: #81   Entered: December 24, 2000 by cg

 

Gettysburg Year: 1993 Attributes: Based on a Novel, Color, Letterbox, NTSC, VHS Rating:  Length: 261 minutes Featured Bears: Tom Berenger   Sam Elliott
Review: Lots of soldiers sporting bushy beards and huge moustaches. A powerful epic film with some excellent acting, especially from Jeff Daniels. BearMovie: #42   Entered: November 22, 1999 by cg

 

Ivanhoe Year: 1997 Attributes: Rating:  Featured Bears: Trevor Cooper   Ron Donachie   David (II) Nicholls   Nick Brimble   Rory Edwards   Steven Waddington   Chris (I) Walker   James Cosmo

Review: A 6-tape set from the A&E mini-series. But bears, Bears, BEARS! Big bears, small bears, old bears, young bears, good bears, and naughty bears. I've only listed as FEW of the ones that popped out from a quick look at the credits. (It's especially fun if you insert bear subtext in the interactions between Gurth and Little John.) This mini-series blows away the 1952 Liz Taylor movie. BearMovie: #002   Entered: September 7, 1999 by RAD

 

U-571 Year: 2000 Attributes: Color, DVD, NTSC, VHS Rating:  Length: 115 minutes version also available Featured Bears: Thomas Kretschmann   Carsten Voigt   Harvey Keitel   David Keith

Review: A submarine drama set in WWII that owes more than a little to the classic "Das Boot". Stunning visuals and incredible sound-- hook up the stereo speakers for this one. As for bear content, the opening scenes are chock full of woofy Germans. Alas, the movie's focus soon shifts to the clean-shaven U.S. Navy boys and stays there for most of the film. The bearded, wily German sub captain (Kretschmann) sticks around to provide the occasional bit of bear eye candy, as does Harvey Keitel as a grizzly mustached Navy man. There's also a clean-shaven but barrel-chested David Keith as a Marine major assigned to help with their mission. BearMovie: #85   Entered: February 5, 2001 by cg

 

What Did You do in the War, Daddy? Year: 1966 Attributes: VHS Rating:  Length: 116 minutes Featured Bears:  Aldo Ray
Review: Seeing Aldo Ray without his shirt or with his shirt open for extended period of time is well worth the cost of the tape. Hunky bearish dude! BearMovie: #133   Entered: March 5, 2003 by dwc
