Good movie to watch if you've never seen this...
REPOST
I wanted to save this movie for December, but folks it's just too good (and too accurate) to keep passing up! Below is one user's comments from IMDb about the film...
Whether you want to waste time seeing Brucheimer and Bay's self-indulgently long Pearl Harbor with its totally extraneous fictional romance -- that's up to you. But whether you see it or not, the real history of the human stupidity on both sides of the Pacific that created the attack is clearly portrayed in TORA! TORA! TORA!
The new DVD edition has insightful commentary by the director plus a documentary about the attack. This film is tensely paced and displays and excellent cast. The Jerry Goldsmith score is kept to a minimum but is very effective. The special FX for the attack are all the more impressive considering they were done before the advent of computer generated FX such as those in Pearl Harbor -- and they equal those of Pearl Harbor.
Tora! Tora! Tora! is the real deal, so go out and rent it! You won't be sorry!
Here is the trailer!

I didn't forget. I was up past midnight last night, and I remembered that today was Pearl Harbor Day.
I've never seen this movie. I'll add it to the queue.
Recently saw Letters from Iwo Jima. It was tough to watch. Did you like it?
Jen,
Nope haven't seen that one before. Have to rent it! I think you will enjoy Tora! Tora! Tora!
About the closest depiction Hollywood will ever come to Pearl Harbor.
