BEST WAR MOVIE EVER - Page 4

Heh, in the Thin Red Line, some US guy threw a grenade into a Japanese cave..and when it blew up, the explosion came from about a yard away from the grenade. It was just a terrible movie, but I nearly died laughing at that grenade scene.

yeah Audie Murphy takes on the Germans MOHAA style (no seriously, he must have killed at least a battalion by himself, in real life, not movie)

Yeah, Audie Murphy was America's most decorated soldier....ever! To Hell and Back is his own autobiography of WW2. Best part of the movie is HE STARS AS HIMSELF! Thats right, the man who really did all those things actually stars in a movie about himself. He won the medal of honor for telling his company to retreat, climbing on a burning U.S. Tank Destroyer, and taking on an entire german battalion by himself. You have to watch it to see all the medals he got, but the whole movie leads up to that point. It shows everything, including how he lost every freind he had in the army and how he solidifies against freindship because of it. Audie died in the 70's in a plane crash, so watch the movie to honor the man.

I'm not sure if someone mentioned it already, but a good war movie that I saw recently was When Trumpets Fade. It was about the Jurtgen Forest Battle that cost 30,000 casualties on the side of the Allies. You don't here too much about this campaign because it's sandwiched between D-Day and The Battle of The Bulge. Others include:

Seargent York
Kelly's Heroes (hilarious)
A Bridge Too Far
Where Eagles Dare
Tobruk
Glory
Saving Private Ryan
All Quiet on the Eastern Front
Das Boot
The Iron Cross
Enemy at The Gates
Sands of Iwo Jima
Battle of The Bulge
Patton

Oops. . .that was Hurtgen Forest. biggrin:

I've seen this move a long time ago on History, it basically followed a sqaud of LRRP's during the Vietnam war, and they take command of a firebase and get overwhelmed by a Vietnamese Regiment, did I mention that the actor who plays the DI in full metal jacket stars in the movie?

Anybody remember the title?
