Lebanon, another good tank movie. IDF reservists in a clapped-out Centurion during the 1982 war.

I assume you've seen the Brad Pitt movie Fury- really more about tankers than real tank fights, though director David Ayer really went to great pains to try and get things right, even to the extent of hauling the Bovington Tank Museum Tiger I out as a co-star. Now I know why there are not more tank movies," Ayer admits, explaining that his team had 70-year-old antiques to work with. "They're dangerous. They're loud. It's really hard to communicate."

Yep. Best job I ever had.

Yes I have, if only to watch Bovington's 131 drive around and be menacing.
