Crimson Tide (1955) - A film about the crew of a U.S. Navy
Gato-class diesel submarine, the USS
Crimsonfish (SS-213), in the Pacific Theater of war during the Second World War, and the brutal hardships of early 20th century submarine life that the crew members faced on board. Filmed in Technicolor, with a limited 3D run.
Goldeneye (1965) - A comedy film about a group of bumbling burglars who get together to pull of a famous jewel heist at a Soviet museum in Moscow, Russian SFSR. Their aim is to steal the world-famous gem, the Goldeneye, a jewel from the Tsarist-era Russia, which is on display for a short period of time, leaving them a limited window of opportunity. The film was notable in the fact that although it was made by a British company, the Soviet still allowed filming in the Russian SFSR without any government supervision. Filmed in Technicolor.
I Am Legend (1967) - The true story of the British national association football team and its roster of legendary footballers, getting together in a rare move to participate in the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan. The British team ends up winning the gold at the Olympic games, and becomes, as per the film's title, legends. The British team captain is played by famous Welsh actor, William Christopher Smith, Jr. Filmed in Technicolor.
Mel Gibson was approached to play the role in the 1980's. Imagine the British hating (before he became famous for his views on Jews) Gibson running around in a tuxedo and saying "I do this for queen and country".
Kicking the arses of the British in "
The Patriot" (2000), slaying the English in "
Braveheart" (1995), and now he's playing a Brit!
Well, to be fair, he did play (technically) a Briton (by geography) in "
Braveheart" (1995), although the United Kingdom didn't exist when the film took place.
