The Guns of Navarone

Dickens is mobile too. The modern version of Great Expectations (with Gwyneth Paltrow) was well done.

Wait, great expectations and Gwyneth Paltrow? My expectations are for Gwyneth to show some nudity.

Nobody has mentioned 'Cross of Iron'. I liked it a lot.
James Coburn as the grizzled sarge and I think it was James Mason as the medal seeking officer.

I think it was Maximillian Schnell who was the medal seeking officer (who never figured out how to reload his MP-40). I liked it a lot as well.

I've liked most of the movies that have been mentioned in this thread. I'm also partial to Ronald Maxwell's Gettysburg.

Yes, now I can picture his face.

The Great Escape. Very good movie imo....GP

Mister Roberts is one of my favorite WW II movies. Henry Fonda, James Cagney, Jack Lemmon all did a superb job.

Mister Roberts is terrific.

So is Stalag 17.

Kelly's Heroes sucks. [8D]

Who the HECK brought up Kelly's Heroes? Everyone knows this is a major trigger for the Southern Paddler. SHAME!!!

In Harm's Way was GREAT!

I allways enjoyed In harms way. Flying tigers. Sands of Iwo Jima. Non WW2 - Zulu and Zulu dawn. When I went through my USAF academy training we studied 12 o'clock high for leadership and 12 angry men for group/meeting interaction. Wound up enjoying both quite a bit.

Just for the record, I Love Kelley's Heroes. I saw it when it was released at the theaters back in 1970 (just starting high school).

Yeah, I know Oddball was not a WW2 archetype, more reflective of 1969 than 1944 - but as someone before said "it was a bank heist movie" with WW2 window dressing... and really a whole lot of fun.

Woof woof.

Kelley's Hero's is a fun movie....GP

OK, so no one likes 1941?[:D]

Greatest movie ever made, war movie or otherwise.

Maybe he's a Republican!

All the more amusing when uttered by Don Rickles!

According to IMDb, Kelly's Heroes was based on a true incident in a book titled "Nazi Gold: The Sensational Story of the World's Greatest Robbery--and the Greatest Criminal Cover-Up" by Ian Sayer and Douglas Botting.
