19. "The Dam Busters" (1955)

A hell of a World War II story gets the movie treatment with the
1955 British film "The Dam Busters." Scientists and daredevil
pilots team up for Operation Chastise, a mission to smash German
dams and thereby cripple steel production. An engineer has an
idea on how to get through the fortifications, but will it work
under real-world conditions? What about the high-risk flying
mission? None other than the original "Star Wars" (1977) was
influenced by "The Dam Busters"... asides include girlie-show
etiquette and yes, we're gonna have a talk about that dog.
