The date for no. 5 is 17 years off, for some reason.

I liked “The Great Escape”. A little more upbeat, despite the number who were caught.

I’m not a film buff, but I never heard of seven of the ten. I expected to see “The Longest Day,” “Tora! Tora! Tora!,” “The Dirty Dozen,” and a couple of others. Maybe the author’s focus was different than mine.

Not on the list. Band of Brothers mini series.
I have watched it more times that I can count.

I am surprised neither of Clint Eastwood’s movies about Iwo Jima made the list. Letters from Iwo Jima and Flags of our Fathers.

To make it more obvious, Das Boot was released in 1981, not 1998 as indicated in the article, which is incorrect.

Great movie.

And if you’ve never read Iron Coffins, that’s a worthwhile read on the general subject. As is Silent Victory.

"1. Come and See"

Finally saw this movie a few weeks ago after hearing for years how good it was. I thought it stunk on ice.

Well, at least the author spared us Henry Fonda's Battle of the Bulge. My late Dad used to invite apoplexy by watching that little perennial groaner. "What's wrong, Dad?" I asked him. "They're all too *&##&ing clean," he shouted.

The Pacific gets one, and it’s a cartoon about a Japanese boy caring for his sister.
That list is complete crap.

I’ve seen five of those. Patton is more to my taste in movies.

I thought I would read a list of movies, all of which I had seen. I am amazed that I havent seen a lot of these.

I guess I got some watchin’ to do.
