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”.
should have simply said ‘surprised’. Oops.
Anyhow, General Frank Savage is a great character and speaks one of my favorite movie lines to persuade a Medal of Honor winner to stay with his fictional 918th Bomb Group:
“I’m choppin’ but no chips are flyin’.”
