FriscoHare Posted February 18, 2011 Share #77 Posted February 18, 2011 Ike: Countdown to D-Day. IMHO, I think it's great to watch Patton, Ike, then Band of Brothers (or whatever order) to get different insights on the politics of WWII Europe.

KVSkelton Posted February 22, 2011 Share #78 Posted February 22, 2011 Breaker Morant is one of my all time favorite movies of any genre. While there are two short fight scenes (the attack on the house and when the fort is attacked), it is primarily a courtroom drama involving 3 members of the Bushveldt Carbineers during the Boer War. I highly recommend this movie if you haven't seen it. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080310/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rustykamel Posted March 17, 2011 Share #83 Posted March 17, 2011 No one has yet mentioned my favorite--which I think a great 1965 Cold War movie. The Bedford Incident with Richard Widmark and Sidney Poitier takes place aboard the destroyer USS Bedford when it confronts a Soviet submarine. Although it isn’t a favorite, I think Val Kilmer as a Parris Island D.I. in Stateside is worth watching at least once. Even though there seems to be quite a few errors in Baby Blue Marine, it is a fun movie. Filmed in the shadow of spectacular Mt. Shasta, it stars Jan-Michael Vincent and a really pretty Glynnis O’Connor. Richard Gere makes a very brief appearance as a Marine Raider. Best wishes, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
