I love action movies - especially war & military stories and I would say "Fury" is a good film!! :) It is a 1945 World War II story of a team of 5 American guys who are in Germany - fighting to survive the war.
In war/action movies, I really love the use of heavy weapons - anti-aircraft machine guns and tanks are the best. You feel the adrenaline pumping in your blood - you'll wanna join the Army to serve your country - well, personally I don't encourage war or destruction but I'd defo like to fire a few shots with those cool machine guns!!!
As a teenager, I always had that desire to join The Indian Army or The Indian AirForce and become a Colonel/Major General/Air Marshal someday. I tried a lot to convince my parents after I finished college that it would be a proud profession to take up - but it was a "Huge No No" from both my Mum and Dad cause they said I was their only son and they will never take that risk and wanted me to choose a safer profession.

There's a lot to share, so I'll write a separate post sometime on my list of favourite war movies and favourite machine guns I love since childhood.

Normally on Wednesdays we(colleagues from BMW) go to watch films at Vue Cinema, Oxford which is at the Ozone Leisure park by the Kassam Stadium, close to the BMW Plant Oxford.
Want to know why Wednesdays? Check this EE offer link - And our company phone network is EE. Some of us have our personal phone networks are EE and Orange. I use EE on both office and personal phones.
Well, we get 2 tickets for the price of 1 and it's really worth it when you are a group of 8 people going together to watch movies.
Since long, we've been waiting for Brad Pitt's "Fury" and finally we watched it yesterday!! :)
Do you know this film was primarily shot here in England - Hertfordshire and Oxford.
I love tanks and one of the outstanding tanks ever built, the Tiger 131 tank was used in this film. And of course the Sherman tank is the Hero's tank.
If you are a war movie lover, then Fury is for you - it is a memorable movie - the military uniform colours, flavour of guts, strength, courage and weapons!!
Two of my favourite machine guns were used in this movie:
1. The Browning .50 Caliber Machine Gun
2. The Browning M1919 Machine Gun

Machine guns definitely separate the true men from the boys - watch this video, you'll love the evolution of the sexy beast --> M2 Browning .50 Cal
