I have seen many over the years, B&W, Colorized, Panaramavision, on the big
screen and on the tube, and there are only three that stand out for me:
Das Boot
Saving Private Ryan
Band of Brothers
I liked the latest Perl Harbor for the sound and action, but it didn't
muster up to the intense drama and action of the three above. Out of all
the WWII movies, I would highly recommend purchasing these three on DVD.
That's a film that would fit perfectly as a double billing
with John Belushi starring in "1941"............

1941... I *knew* I was forgetting to mention one.

I'll throw some wood on the fire...
"A Bridge Too Far"
"The Battle of Britain"
"Run Silent, Run Deep"
"The Enemy Below"
Recently purchased the ABTF DVD and sat down and watched the whole
movie for the first time. I thought it was really good (but
depressing) all things considered.
I also vote for TBOB because a rerun of this movie on TV in 1975
started my interest in WW II aircraft.
RSRD is corny but a good naval yarn ("Set course for the Bungo
Straits!").
Loved TEB's Robert Mitchum/Kurt Jurgens mental games but the original
Star Trek series version was better (and if you know what I'm talking
about, you're as geeky as I am ;^) .

Twelve O'clock High was, indeed a good one. For many years, that very movie
was shown in Air force Officer Candidate School as a stufy in leadership.

The major problem with "In Harm'sWay" and I believe Kirk Douglas also stated
this was the clear decks on the ships. Douglas supposidly complained during
the filming that in the views shown, crew would have been evident. Instead
the decks are empty. In general the ships seem to be somewhat absent of
detail. When I first saw it in the theaters it looked OK - later this
becamre more obvious.

Reading back thru the thread - - - there's no mention of AUDEY MURPHY!
"Red Badge Of Courage"
"To Hell And Back"

OK; it's not a WW-II movie and it wasn't really a war but the premise was to
avert a theoretical nuclear war....... how about the cold war "Fail Safe."

Also with Lawrence Montaigne, who like Lenard would make his next
appearance in the Trek universe as a Vulcan --> Ston in the episode
"Amok Time"
Ex-Geek, though my credentials were not of the Platinum variety as I
have never worn or equipped myself with a Trek uniform, hand phaser or
Vulcan ears in any way shape or form.
Building the model kits does not count... ABSOLUTELY NOT! No way, no
how. That's absolutely normal. Making phaser noises and swooping the
kit around might be fair game for a little "shrink rapping" though. ;-)

To reply, get the HECK out of there

In that case, add "Doctor Strangelove, or how I learned to stop worrying and
love the bomb" too. Great footage of the B-52!

Just wondering if anyone has mentioned Kelly's Heroes as yet?
Liked D. Sutherland as Oddball who came direct from the 60's in WW2 and the
coloured paint hitting the Tiger.
