Only an American idiot like Splum could like this movie?
?A bridge too far? is a good movie (and historically accurate) and ?Der Untergang? but it?s not really a ?war movie?. ?Das Boot? is good if you like naval warfare and ?The Deer Hunter? is good if you liked ?Platoon?. Unfortunately there are not that many real war movies that are any good. |
Well i actully enjoyed that movie, and I did like the bit with the man charging at him with his bayonet. even though a little bit unlikley i would still class it as a great war film

If both, I recommend
Prison/escape in war
Stalag 17
The Great Escape
They are old but very good.
Pure war movies:
Zulu
Zulu Dawn
Great flicks.

hmm great stuff there, I was after war films but heard great things about the great escape. I will have a little look at some of them.

The film won Academy Awards for Best Actor in a Supporting Role (Dean Jagger) and Best Sound, Recording. It was nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role (Gregory Peck) and Best Picture.
We watched this in college in my first Management class in college. I'm still not sure what lesson I learned but I do remember the film was much better than I expected. Also it's in black and white.
