Where to begin...?
It would probably be easier to compose a list of the most accurate films. Well, perhaps not easier but it would certainly be a shorter list.
Battle of the Bulge is a classic of inaccuracies -- so much so that the former commander of the 5th Panzer Army reportedly said, after viewing the film, 'That had nothing to do with the battle I was in.' (Or something like that -- wish I could find that source now.)
One might add Saving Private Ryan, but we have been down this road before...
Be that as it may, it is an amusing list and yes, I though the inclusion of 2001 most appropriate.
As William Gibson said -- the future is already here, just badly distributed.
Now if we could just get those flying cars from Blade Runner...
:wink:
