Oh yeah, I forgot "The Dirty Dozen." Great movie, and I enjoyed the book, as well. Also, "Kelly's Heroes."

Yeah, "Kelly's Heroes" is definitely one of the classics.

I know this would probably be more appropriate for a Veteran's Day thread, but I just thought I'd mention one of the best films ever directed by Stanley Kubrick:

Paths of Glory.

Kelly's Heros is a GI classic.

Oddball - "To a New Yorker like you, a hero is some kind of wierd sandwich."

Big Joe - "I dont give a damn what Command says about anything!"

Everytime (I mean EVERY time) Sgt. York is on TV I make my kids watch it again with me. Its old and corny but it shows a hardship and devotion to GOD that helped make America great.

Patton, Where Eagles Dare, A Bridge too Far, Big Red One, Tora-Tora-Tora, The Bridge on the River Kwai, Dirty Dozen.

Mrs. Delta 21 wants me to list The Sound of Music since it is her favorite and technically qualifies.

If you want a good read, try “The Filthy Thirteen”.
