I'm hopeful there are more deals on movies based things covered in We Didn't Start the Fire.

Except the cola wars. I can't take them anymore.

Absolutely one of the greatest by any measure. It's available on HBO Max at the moment but if you don't subscribe or haven't already seen it, this is a no brainer.

Unpopular opinion, but this movie actually has a number of significant faults. I used to love the movie when I was younger, but it feels a bit superficial upon rewatch. William Holden's physique belies the harsh conditions of the camp. Similarly, allusions are repeatedly made to the brutality of Saito's command, yet this is never really shown. Time in the box would have been very mild given the real world context of Japanese POW camps. This also makes the battle of wills feel a bit too easy and an unearned victory. Saito never really displays a severe ruthlessness that you would expect. He's also western educated, but has remarkably less skill at engineering than his British counterparts. He's supposed to be steeped in the Bushido code and the intensely hierarchical structure of the Japanese army, but ends up just being a wimp who cries and ends up being bossed around at every turn. So in retrospect, superb acting and production, but ultimately a fluff post-war propaganda piece.

I really do think this is given credit as being a better movie than it is due to its acting talent and being a product of its time. If it were made today, I doubt it would be heralded as a timeless classic.
