Nobody is really interested in war flicks anymore, particularly WWII.

I think pretty much "Pearl Harbor" sank that genre.

Band of Brothers and Saving Private Ryan seem to indicate otherwise. If it's a good movie they will watch. I sure did.

IMO, WWII was the biggest single event that ever occurred.

Why pay to see a WWII movie when the History Channel has shows about it all the time?

Ummm...I am.

And I was oh so disappointed by "The Great Raid". What a great story. What a disappointing movie.

I had heard that someone was making a movie about Iwo Jima...I cannot imagine how they could make a movie about it that would be accurate while allowing people to stay in the theatre watching it...
