In order of merit:


1.The War Game (1965) ***1/2 - for its mere 47-minute length, this is positively one of the most harrowing viewing experiences I've ever had!
2.Culloden (1964) ***
3.Punishment Park (1971) *** - despite the film's rather didactic nature, I look forward to upgrade the French disc I currently own to the upcoming R2 "Masters Of Cinema" SE DVD
4.The Forgotten Faces (1961) **1/2
5.The Diary of an Unknown Soldier (1959) **1/2


I would like to watch all his remaining films but am especially interested in PRIVILEGE (1967).
