C'mon now mate, I cannot mention all of them, but yeah "A Bridge Too Far" one of my all time favorites. I remember I was 15 years old when that came out but couldn't go to see it cuz it was rated R. I asked my dad to take me and he outright refused saying it was too violent. Truth was that dad served with the 82nd Airborne during WWII and he was part of Operation Marketgarden as well as many other operations. Dad had a rough go during WWII and after the war, he wrestled with demons for the rest of his life. I understand now why dad did not take me to see "A Bridge Too Far" and why he never watched war movies in general. Eventually, I did get to see it and I now have it on DVD. Always liked Micheal Caine.

The Alistair McLean movies, Force 10 from Navarone, were fictional, movies like Clint Eastwood's "Where Eagle Dare" Kelly's Heroes, were quite entertaining, Taking moments during the war where men operated in covert missions sanctioned or not. Another good one is the USS Nimitz finding it's way in the Pacific right before the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in "Final Countdown", then there is the fictional yet based on facts in the movie "Midway", with Charlton Heston, Henry Fonda etc, lot of stuff woven into the main story still I enjoyed it. Private Ryan was excellent great characters, The Korean war flicks, "Hunter" F-86's in action, The Bridges of Toko Ri, Panthers in action, early helo rescue ops. A true favorite, The Flight of The Intruder. And any John Wayne war movie. Iwo Jima to name one. Though there is nothing funny or fun about war, but there are a couple of movies that pulled it off, like Father Goose, w/Cary Grant, Stripes, Operation Petticoat.

I gotta take my hat off to Alistair McLean. I read most of his stuff and was never disappointed. However, the movie version of "Force Ten from Navarone" just plain sucked. The fact that it was fictitious does not make it suck any less. Movies like The Guns of Navarone, Where Eagles Dare, The Dirty Dozen, The Eagle has Landed, Cross of Iron, etc, though fictitious (or loosely based on facts) were quite good and thoroughly entertaining. Who in the Hell does not like Kelly's Heroes? Totally fictitious, but it works and works very well. Gotta love Donald Sutherland as Sgt Oddball.

Hey guys ! I know this alittle late on this topic . But I have enjoyed reading it and it got me thinking about some of my favorite war flicks . And lo and behold one of the best war movies on my top ten list was on yesterday , The story of G.I. Joe . Yes I know it's about grunts but ya gotta admit it don't' get any better .
