Honestly there are not many new combat scenes. Some impressive scenes from the fight in the cornfield. The biggest part in difference to the cutted version is about John Wilkes-Booth

There’s some cracking films listed throughout this thread, some of which I should have included, but one film stands out to me for its rendering of the relationship between an officer and a SNCO and is in, of all films, “The Life of Brian”. The scenes where John Cleese as the Centurion, just trying to please his superior, with the dialogue, “Stwike him again Centuwion” followed by the need to please offering, “And throw him to the floor Sir?” is just simply, priceless. Found here amongst a little more:
Biggus Dickus - Monty Python’s Life of Brian (youtube.com)
Dear God, I’m just so glad I was part of the “common soldiewy”!

Several years ago Cinemark had a different Anime film every Wednesday night. I would see them with my daughter, and if you haven’t see this one you’re missing out. Don’t discount it simply because it’s animated.

It is brilliantly written and keeps you in suspense but is an extremely sad movie.

It was based on a short story by Akiyuki Nosaka which drew on his own traumatic experiences as a teenager and directed by Isao Takahata who had also experienced the destruction of his own city in an incendiary bomb raid as a child, although his family survived.
In 2005 a live action TV movie was made with the same title but deviated more from the original story.
