A couple of foreign additions...Soldiers of Orange, The Lighthorsemen. Also, The Duelists (Ridley Scott's first movie, I believe, and visually stunning).

Patton is the all time best.

I thought A Bridge Too Far was excellent, great cast.

We Were Soldiers Once and Private Ryan are good.

While the entire Enemies at the Gate was not great, the opening scenes about crossing the Volga into the city are accurate and priceless.

Hey, thanks for reminding me of Soldier of Orange. (I think it was Soldier, not Soldiers ....???) Haven't thought about that movie in YEARS. But it's a good 'un.

For those who don't know it: it's a Dutch movie, about the Dutch Resistance in WWII. Probably the only Dutch movie I ever saw, LOL.

"The Duelists"

Ohmigoodnes, everytime someone mentions this, I have to tell my story. Being out at my mom-in-law's summer house, and convincing "the guys" to watch this movie at about 11 pm one night, because I had heard it got such good reviews. I, myself, fell asleep about 10 minutes into it, and the next day I figured they'd changed the channel soon after to watch Saturday Night Live, or somesuch.

So, I asked, did you watch the rest of the movie? And they had, and they all LOVED it. Raved. That was great, thank you for suggesting it, etc. (very flattering!). So, having missed the whole thing myself, I asked "What was it about, anyway?" And, hubby said, to group agreement, "What was it about? It was about Honor!"

It showed me something about men, that reaction. Someday I'll have to watch that movie myself. But, culturally, I felt I did some good that day, even if I snoozed through most of it!
