"I'm watching" Suicide squad" on TV, a movie a about The Shetland Gang with mostly real SOE agents playing. themselves. It's a lot like the boat part of Guns of Navarone!
Perhaps after Where Eagles Dare and Force 10, we should continue the Alistair Maclean theme with Ice Station Zebra?
I watched When Eight Bells Toll yesterday (which is available on YouTube) which very much has a sort of alternate Bond feel, with Anthony Hopkins in the lead. It's not amazing (certainly no Eagles Dare) but pretty decent fun for a Sunday afternoon.

Haven't seen it for years- I'll have to watch it again.

Based on this mature consept, here is the 80s LOTR, or
Raiders of the lost ring
Frodo - Michael J. Fox or Ian Holm
Gandalf - Sean Connery
Saruman - Max von Sydow
Legolas - Jonny Depp
Aragorn - Daniel Day Lewis or Liam Neeson
Galadriel - Michelle Pfeiffer
Boromir - Ruther Hauer
Gimli - Kurt Russel
Arwen - Emmanuelle Beart
Gollum - Ben Kingley
Grima Wormtongue - Joe Pesci or Christopher Walken
Faramir - Kevin Costner
That would be fun too, but mostly fun and almost certainly not good. I think my version could potentially be pretty good.
I would really like to see Kurt Russel's Gimli and especially Jonny Depp's Legolas

I've been stocking up, a bit, on my Maclean reading.
Quinn for Gimli is a masterstroke. Perfect choice!
