OK you got me, Pearl Harbor has to be up there just because they cast an anti American hatemonger in the role depicting an authentic American hero, good call. (on your part!)

I was moved to reply because I recently saw "A Bridge Too Far" and was flabbergasted by a new perspective on the movie. I was explaining the history, the planning, the objectives, and the execution of Operation Market Garden to my gal as the movie went on, and I realized that not one shred of the how's, the why's, the motivation and training of and for this offensive, there was NOTHING in the movie but an incoherent lurch from violent and bloody scene to violent and bloody scene.

One would think watching that show that WWII was just an opportunity for people to act like animals

hollywood is disgusting.

"I realized that not one shred of the how's, the why's, the motivation and training of and for this offensive, there was NOTHING in the movie but an incoherent lurch from violent and bloody scene to violent and bloody scene."

that is not the fault of the movie. I think that accurately describes Monty's "brillian" game plan.
parsy.

Since your opinion coinsides with mine with respect to "A Bridge Too Far", you are obviously very intelligent. Just about every "body parts are about to go flying" scene was so telegraphed, I had plenty of time to cover my eyes after the first three.

The book by Cornelious Ryan is excellent. I read the book and then tried to watch the movie. The latter was a deep disappointment because Mr. Ryan had set the bar so high.
