I have “Section 317” (317th Platoon) here at home on video tape. I can’t believe somebody on FR has mentioned it. Hardly anybody has ever seen it. It is most probably one of the best war films ever.
Band of Brothers is very well done and sets the standard for me. Am also a fan of “Patton” but some historical inaccuracies bug me. However, you certainly can’t argue with George C. Scott.
Another of my favorites, but not surprised to see it omitted so far on this thread, is “Twelve O’Clock High”.
Ever see “The War Lover” with Steve McQueen ?
