Hi folks, Leo here. today I am going to talk about my movie-watching habit. I've been watching some good war movies lately and here are five of my favourites. At number five we have The Battle of Britain, this is an older film but that doesn't take away from how good it is - just adds to the experience. The fight scenes are great with fighter planes and bombers flying all over the place. It's also a really good story of the men flying the planes and their experiences of war. Number four on my list is Iron Fury. This movie has amazing CGI scenes and fight scenes - it's truly an amazing film. Number three is 1917. You might have heard of this movie as it came out not too long ago. It's absolutely mind-blowing with a great story of a famous incident in WWI. At number two is Dunkirk - you might have also heard of this one as the filmmakers won some awards for their work and I say they truly deserved them. It is an absolute beauty of filmmaking. and finally at number one is Danger Close: the Battle of Long Tan. This movie is very sad and sweet. It is a Vietnam war movie depicting outnumbered Australian and New Zealand forces holding off an onslaught from the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong armies. It was a beautiful piece. None of these films glorifies war but tells a human story under terrible circumstances. There are many more amazing war movies I haven't mentioned like Land of Mine, Hacksaw Ridge and many many others. And I intend to watch them all.

Until next time
