It is not as much of a challenge to find a Luger in a war movie, such as "Sergeant York" (although several of them, such as "The Dirty Dozen", cater only to the P-38 enthusiasts). However, what characterizes the true Luger nut is the ability to locate a P-08 in an unexpected film, such as "The Notorious Landlady", "The Maltese Falcon", "The Detective", "Teenagers from Outer Space", and that weird science fiction one with Sean Connery and some strange idol which vomited up guns. Anybody else know of some Luger movies which don't involve guys in coal-skuttle helmets?

This is not to suggest that I have anything against war movies--I don't. I also think "The Train" is a very high quality one, nothwithstanding the scarcity of sidearms.
