[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 2134918, member: 26737"] I haven't watched the movie, but General Moore's book ([I]We Were Soldiers Once...And Young[/I]) is outstanding. I have a lot of favorite war movies, but the ones that come to mind are: [I]Casablanca[/I] (probably not what the OP is after, but...) [I]Stalag 17[/I] [I]The Longest Day[/I] * Cornelius Ryan's book of the same name, upon which the movie was based, is an out-freaking-standing read [I]In Harm's Way[/I] [I]They Were Expendable[/I] * Robert Montgomery was a PT Boat officer in the South Pacific, and his Lt. Brickley is not-entirely-loosely based on (later) Vice Admiral John Bulkeley, commander of Motor Torpedo Boat Squadron Three [I]Patton[/I] * Ladislas Farago's [I]Patton: Ordeal and Triumph[/I] is better in many ways, but I love George C. Scott's performance [I]Run Silent, Run Deep[/I] * Capt. Edward Beach's novel is better, but the movie is pretty danged good. [I]Band of Brothers[/I] * "'Grandpa, were you a hero in the war?' Grandpa said, 'No... but I served in a company of heroes.'" 'nuff said. [I]Gettysburg[/I] [I]Sahara[/I] (Preferably the Humphrey Bogart original, though I recall liking Jim Belushi's version) [I]Battleground[/I] * Hey, Kinnie - what ever happened to Jody? [I]Sgt. York[/I] [I]M*A*S*H[/I] [/QUOTE]
