You know, you remind me of another great one....”The Patriot”. We sure could use a few of those today!

Dam Busters (RAF Sqd. 617) still shows well for a 1955 or so flic. The bases of director, actors and script were very well rounded to produce a home-run. Pork Chop Hill was good. Oddly, the camaraderie demonstrated in Band of Brothers reminded me of service in RVN...as a Marine! Hamburger Hill also had mindful moments.
If ownership of a video says anything, note that I have three “war” videos; Dam Busters, The Hunters (Robert Mitchum)and the Band of Brothers series.
Interesting thing about old movies are the actors that had bit parts then went on to greater roles. For example, Robert Shaw portrayed Richard Todd’s co-pilot.

Hamburger Hill....a under-rated Vietnam war movie.
Battleground......very cool flick.
Gettysburg...for the person who can sit for 4 hrs and watch it.
