ATTACK! Jack Palance, Lee Marvin, Buddy Ebsen, Eddie Albert, and more. Great WWII film.
The Story of G.I. Joe WWII movie, set in Italy, so real you can smell it.
That’s a fair Baker’s Dozen + 5. Start with the first you haven’t seen, and GIVE ME YOUR FEEDBACK. Enjoy! These are all GREAT! I’m sure they’re all available on line somewhere.
I’m glad you listed ATTACK with Jack Palance. Despite some poor modelling and special effects, it was a super movie. BIRTH OF A NATION, 1915, was not woke at all. THE OUT OF TOWNERS, with Sandy Dennis had her great bathtub speech that placed suburban fly-over-country values over big city sophisto values.
Non-woke movies: "Death Wish," "Distant Drums."
