Well, I'd put In Harm's Way in the first tier. Maybe I have a weak spot for the Duke. But I haven't seen A Walk in the Sun. Mea Culpa. Try and check it out from Blockbuster or wherever, or just what 'til it shows up on cable or the tube?

I saw an excellent film a few weeks ago that I can't find in my Movie Hound guide. I think it's called "The Story of G.I. Joe", based on Ernie Pyle's war correspondence. It starred Burgess Meredith as Ernie Pyle and it was the movie that made Robert Mitchum a star. Ernie Pyle was killed in the Pacific while they were making this movie.

For a WWII movie made during WWII, it was a really, really good film.

One of my all time favorites. What I call a very watchable movie.

A Walk in the Sun is on TCM every now and then. American battalion attacks a Nazi hideout in WWII. Great cast! Bataan and Back to Bataan were pretty good war movies too.
