The Last Castle (2001)

One of my favorite, all-time military movies. I teach military leadership classes for the Navy, and up until this movie, the only other one I have ever used was "Twelve O'Clock High." Twelve O'Clock High is an outstanding tool to explain differing leadership styles.

But I have now incorporated The Last Castle into my courses. Robert Redford's character is an excellent illustration of how to lead by example, whereas the "bad guy" character, Colonel Winter, the warden, is a perfect example of a pencil-pushing military leader devoid of integrity. If you haven't seen it, do.

"War Hunt"

Redford's very first film in '62 about the Korean War. His uncle served in Belgium in WWII.

My husband says they showed that in his Advanced course (for the medical/dental corps) at BAMC (Ft. Sam).

[Iwo Jima]

Precision daylight bombing bump.

12 O'Clock High is by far my alltime favorite. I must have ssen it 20 times. I have the "consider yourself dead" speech nearly memorized. So true!

I hope you've seen Nick Nolte's Farewell to the King.
