I don’t know of anyone who “loved” The Battle of the Bulge.
I was just speaking to someone who used that movie to bolster his view of WWII history. He is just one of many over the years I have encountered that have been influenced by that movie and its leftist demigod Henry Fonda.
The Wizard of Oz (which I saw for the first time when I was 12; it totally creeped me out) and Grease.
