<B>Darkside</B>, you are officially my hero! Wow, what a relief that I'm not the only one who knew that! How did you know it?<P>Now that the mystery has been revealed , <B>HCIsland</B>, the movie is, appropriately enough, <I>The Battle of Britain</I> (1969, Michael Caine and Christopher Plummer). It opens with a voiceover of a BBC broadcast, relating Churchill's address in Parliament. Immediately afterward, the credits begin, accompanied by the famous "Aces High March." It is an excellent movie; I highly recommend it. My family has seen it many times.<P>Oh, and the reason we all knew the quote: My father tapes favorite segments, usually including powerful music, off of movies. Once a tape is reasonably full, we listen to it in the car wherever we go, incidentally memorizing large portions of movie dialogue. The clips he took from <I>The Battle of Britain</I> include the BBC broadcast right before the "Aces High March." Therefore, every one of us immediately recognized Gandalf's quote.<P>My sincere apologies for the length of this explanation - I'm just trying to make sure I didn't come across sounding obsessed in some way! <P>All that said, what do you think about the use of that quote? What connotations does it bring up for you? Do you think it adds anything to the movie?
