What Are Your Favorite War Movies?
I heard a tv show talking about Band Of Brothers this morning which made me think of war movies.
I also had Destination Tokyo (Cary Grant, John Garfield) and Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo (Van Johnson, Robert Walker) on streaming tv yesterday.
Give us some of your choices for favorite war movie.
Bataan
Patton
Band Of Brothers
I like several, but Band of Brothers is definitely my favorite. Top notch production quality, and I love the interview clips of the real-life characters. I have the ammo can box set DVDs. It's a little embarrassing how many times I've watched it.
Best thing ever made for television.
That and Lonesome Dove.
