You beat me to it!Gallipoli
Someone needs to re-tell the story of Gallipoli. It's tragic, and heroic, under the worst conditions. And it made Ataturk a household name in Türkiye.
Ever notice how there's never been a movie about Ataturk, who deserves one more than most? The Greeks. The Armenians. They block every attempt by someone in Hollywood. In the late 1990s Antonio Banderas was set to play him, but the Hellenic Society pressured the studio into dropping it. Banderas and wife Melanie Griffith were subjected to hate mail and death threats and quickly backed out out of fear. The movie was being produced by Sir Lawrence Olivier's son.
