Not really a big fan of war movies...

I remember seeing a comedic one as a kid, but don't remember the title. It was WWII, and the crew had to leave the port in a sub that was primered, but not painted yet. So it was sort of a pink color.

Along the way, they rescued a bunch of nurses from a hospital ship (I think?). So they had these women always in the way, along with lingerie hanging everywhere.

One scene that sticks in my mind... they were doing reconnaissance along enemy shores, and one of the girls came through, lost her balance, and accidently hit a lever that fired a torpedo toward the beach. It went up on the beach, hit a military vehicle and exploded.

One of the guys told the skipper, "We just sunk a truck!"

Probably too silly to watch as an adult anyway.

Operation petticoat, loved and watched with one of my Daughters, she laughed and laughed.

Rat patrol, why my Brother and I went to the mechanized infantry, as scouts (m15A1 jeeps with the mounted pig).

not a movie but Baa Baa Black Sheep and Rat Patrol.

My brother had a Rat Patrol lunch box in elementary school. We'd run home to make sure got to see every episode.

Anyone mention Guns of Navarone? Classic.

The Patriot with Mel Gibson

Any pre/during WW2 films produced by Germany.

To me the best is; The Devils Brigade. WW2 true story of the First Special Service Force. The forerunners to the Green Berets. Mix of USA and Canadians volunteers and hand picked by Col. Fredricks. Hollywood kind of changed it up some but still a great movie. I was lucky My Uncle was one of them that made it home. They were some of the bravest men ever.

I watched that 84 Charlie Mo pic last night. It was pretty good! It had a very realistic feel to it. I did feel the team members talked too much during the patrol (which was the entire movie) not maintaining noise discipline. But you have to have dialogue in a movie.
