Movie that SHOULD be made.
I know this has been brought up before, but I just thought that it should be said again:
Why isn't there a film about Mad Jack Churchill?!? I mean, you don't even need a screenwriter, the history books have it all! He lead his commandos into battle playing the bagpipes. He captured 42 German prisoners using only his claymore. Yeah, that's right, he carried a sword into battle. He escaped a German POW camp. Twice. His preferred weapon in battle was a bow and arrow. He faced down Palestinian rebels wearing a full Scottish military parade uniform, armed only with a swagger stick. Then, at age 40, he became a paratrooper. When that didn't work out (not his fault, the war ended) he learned how to surf in Australia.
He's like Kilgore, but with a sword and bagpipes...and more awesome.

It's a long read, but definitely worth the time.
