Two excellent movies. And both are little known but really well crafted films.
Another movie is called “the Hill” with Sean connery.It is set in a British penal camp durning WW2. Check that out.

I saw The Hill a couple of years ago and found it riveting. I think Sean Connery was trying to get away from his James Bond typecasting. Hard to forget James, but the movie was swell.

"The Hill" is an excellent movie. I'm rather surprised that many people have not seen a lot of the classic World War Two movies.

Some of my favorites include "Patton", "Von Ryan's Express", "The Longest Day", "A Bridge Too Far", "Battleground", "PT-109", and "Where Eagles Dare".

Another excellent movie is the made-for-television "By Dawn's Early Light". Shortly before the collapse of the Soviet Union, a group of Soviet officers steal one of their own nukes, smuggle it into Turkey, and fire it at one of their own cities. Soviet Strategic Rocket Forces respond with a massive barrage against the United States before they realize what had happened. Powers Booth, Rebecca DeMornea, James Earl Jones, and Rip Torn star.
