"Pearl Harbor" was pretty bad but at least it had interesting scenes of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Off the top of my head, I would say that "The Naked And The Dead" was the worst although I should be able to come up with a war flick worse than that.

Refresh my memory on The Naked and the Dead.....I was thinking of a movie with Frank Sinatra, Frankie Avalon which takes place in the So. Pac......can't remember the name.

btw...1941 is a comedy....I thought it was funny!

Is that about the black soldiers in Viet Nam? Because that would have been my first pick if I could have remebered the name.

My favorite scene was the revalation of the remarkable advance they made in aircraft launch/retrieval: the angled flight deck of the Kaga! (Or was it the Akagi? :-/) < /sarcasm>

I doubt it. That movie made war look like a Boy Scout troop's summer vacation. Guys at war, Guys killing guys, Guys complaining about guy things, Guys doing that fun war stuff---geez I saw that movie when I was a kid and was ready to go to war right then--it looked like a lot of fun.

Awful movie.
