Battle of the Bulge: best war movie ever. Has everything,from a foot-stomping Nazi hootenanny, to stereotypes galore.

Watch a doctorate study in logistics reduced to rolling gas barrel Molotov cocktails.

Indulge in the spectacle of the war being decided on the plains of Spain.

Answers the question of whether Korean war era M47 tanks can defeat 1945 era M24 recon tanks. No, in the end they can’t, because they are gas-guzzling monsters, defeated by the zippy gas-sippers that run rings...wait, is this an indictment of the post-war American auto industry?

Watch a war movie try to incoherently weave staff-level decisions with the experience of the average Joe. Watch Telly Savalas sell black market eggs, and do his usual overacting. Watch James McArthur underact to the point I start rooting for the SS to not miss him at Malmedy.

Dang, now I have that storm trooper song stuck in my head.
