Camp_Kearny Posted December 12, 2010 Share #52 Posted December 12, 2010 Mr.Roberts, I forgot about that one, all time great....I still cry.AND, how did a boy from University Heights learn to read a novel like "From Here To Eternity" ?? I know a boy from Bonita can't !! :w00t: I would not have read it if it were not for a 30 day TDY to Tampa. Cable sucks so I spent most of my time reading. It took about 2 weeks to fight through the 800 pages novel. The Caine Mutiny is also a long book but it is also a long read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seanmc1114 Posted January 11, 2011 Share #60 Posted January 11, 2011 Some of my favorites that have been listed: 1. Strategic Air Command (I would love to see this on blu-ray) 2. A Few Good men (I know we aren't supposed to sympathize with Jack Nicholson's character, but the older I get the more I agree with his fences speech.) 3. No Time For Sergeants 4. Mister Roberts 5. Operation Petticoat 6. A Soldier's Story 7. From Here To Eternity A couple that haven't been mentioned: 1. A Gathering Of Eagles 2. War Games (If you were a kid in the early 80's, you always talked about WWIII in terms of when, not if, it was going to happen.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeuceGI Posted January 16, 2011 Share #62 Posted January 16, 2011 Not a movie per se, but an excellent series is Danger UXB about a Royal Engineers bomb disposal unit during the blitz. A surprising amout of technical info and it really captures the gritty feel of WWII London. TT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RustyCanteen Posted February 13, 2011 Share #66 Posted February 13, 2011 FS,Is that a............"talkie"? :w00t: It came out around '43 I think, it's the "dramatized" story of the nurses in the Philippines in 1941-1942. The reviews from the actual vets were not to good (understandably since they went through the real thing), however it was one of the many (about half a dozen or more?) films set in the Philippines during WW2 to boost morale and war bond sales.
