“Maitland, did you LOSE my aerial photographs?”
Band of Brothers was incredible. I think it’s one of the greatest pieces of film, ever.
Having said that, my FAVORITE war movies aren’t necessarily the best ones.
“Battle of the Bulge” for Robert Shaw’s performance.
“Stalag 17”, “The Great Escape”, “Battleground”, but most of all, my all-time favorite war movie, “Sargeant York”.
You guys are good - I am laughing at the number of quotes from Kelly’s Heros. My son and I watched it and the Dirty Dozen about a month ago. He is eight and I explained to him that they were some of the best movies of WWII. He ate them up.

The Bridges at Toko Ri, while fictional, is my favorite. William Holden, Grace Kelly, Fredrich March and Mickey Rooney. An outstanding cast and a great story, set in the 1950s Japan I remember.
