panzerbait Posted July 1, 2015 Share #102 Posted July 1, 2015 How about the Gary Cole vehicle, "Son of the Morning Star?" I'm not a 7th Cav Reg't expert, but I thought that this TV miniseries was done rather well and that Cole portrayed a pretty decent Custer. I know that it has been out on VHS for some years now, but not DVD. John Amen to this one. Perhaps the best portrayal of the Battle of the Little Big Horn ever put on film (unless you're a huge fan of Little Big Man...) It's a travesty that this hasn't been made available on DVD or Blu-ray. And if they wanted to go to the cutting room floor and add another hour to it, I would be okay with that.

ustpatcher1a Posted July 4, 2015 Share #103 Posted July 4, 2015 Came out during the Vietnam anti war times in Hollywood, "Kellys Heros" was not one of my favorite war films. Only good as a 'farce' or 'parody' in my book. The last film my WW2 vet dad and I saw together and enjoyed was 1969 Oscar winner, "Patton". I know that film dialogue by heart and bought the sound track to play WW2 Avalon Hill board games to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Ragan Posted July 5, 2015 Share #104 Posted July 5, 2015 I've had "Son of the Morning Star", on DVD for a couple of years now. I watched it again last winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobgee Posted July 5, 2015 Share #105 Posted July 5, 2015 An old one I'd like to see again is "Winged Victory" which was a stage show and later a film. Any one know if it's available? Bobgee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Ragan Posted July 7, 2015 Share #106 Posted July 7, 2015 Oops! I checked my DVD copy of "Son of the Morning Star", and it's a copy from either TV or a tape. Sorry for the mis-information in my previous post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogfacedsoldier Posted July 21, 2015 Share #107 Posted July 21, 2015 How about Eight Iron Men a Lee Marvin movie about the fighting in Italy. Very well done and looks good. Probably many in the cast were vets. Richard Kylie was one of the actors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogfacedsoldier Posted July 21, 2015 Share #108 Posted July 21, 2015 I forgot to add I have Once An Eagle on DVD. They cut out a lot, Damon winning the MOH and other parts. I saw this several times after it was shown, cut too much out. No reasoning behind the cuts. IOffer might be a good place to look for movies. I always liked In Love and War , also written by Anton Meyer. Bradford Dillman and Jeffrey Hunter. I would like to see a DVD copy of Gettysburg taken from TNT, where they restored a lot of the footage, I saw it on TNT much later with restored footage. I saw scenes that I was in that had been cut. I would also like to find a DVD copy of Class of 61. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogfacedsoldier Posted July 21, 2015 Share #110 Posted July 21, 2015 It was shown several different years on TNT. It was the miniseries with restored footage, an awful lot of it. Maybe nearly an hour of it. I saw several scenes I was in or saw being filmed. It was a TV only thing. I was on the last time they showed it on TNT. I have all the DVD versions except for Blu-ray. I found a guy on IOFFER with Waterloo no subtitles. I've delt with him before. He's ok with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOLO Posted July 22, 2015 Share #111 Posted July 22, 2015 The Challenge 1970 starring Darrin McGavin and Mako Gallery, a US commando, and Yuro, an enemy commando, are sent to a no man's Pacific jungle island to capture a crashed US space satellite. Whoever survives, wins. Their nations have agreed to this to avoid war, but they cheat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
45ACP Posted July 26, 2015 Share #112 Posted July 26, 2015 That's the one where Darrin McGavin has two Madsen SMGs mounted together side by side. One for shot cartridges and one for ball. An interesting movie. Kind of representing the "Cold War" in a movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavcon Posted July 26, 2015 Share #113 Posted July 26, 2015 Ok, I apologize if I missed them on this thread.... There was one called VERBOTEN, which had a lot of Constabulary scenes in it. Also, there was one about the 3rd Infantry Division in WWII. I always recall it being called the young lions or young warriors but I could be wrong. There was a guy named Hacker in it. I thought it was a knock off of to HELL AND BACK. Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Gavin wears Duck Hunters, not sure of course if they were WWII Marine/Army or contemporary commercial Nam types, probably the latter I would think.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Challenge_%281970_film%29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's two images from it, the first one was posted some where once, I think in the Hollywood Patches 2 topic (real army unit patches used in movies and T.V. as opposed to phony/made up ones) in the Shoulder Patches Forum. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/11/movies/homevideo/11kehr.html?_r=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salvage Sailor Posted August 9, 2023 Share #119 Posted August 9, 2023 Steve McQueen - Hell is for Heroes I have an old DVD copy Writer Robert Pirosh was a former master sergeant with the 35th Infantry Division in World War II. He gained a reputation after writing the script for the 1949 film Battleground, about the American 101st Airborne Division paratroopers’ defense of Bastogne, then writing and directing Go for Broke!, a 1951 war film about the famed 442nd Regimental Combat Team. Soon after Hell Is for Heroes, he created the World War II TV series Combat!. Pirosh based some of the events in his film on his unit being withdrawn from the Vosges area to move towards the Battle of the Bulge, with their former positions in the line held by a small force in a then-classified deception operation. Pirosh based Nick Adams' Polish character on an actual displaced person who followed his unit around Cast Steve McQueen as Private John Reese Bobby Darin as Private Dave Corby Fess Parker as Technical Sergeant Bill Pike Harry Guardino as Sergeant Jim Larkin Bob Newhart as Private First Class James E.
