    Can Star Wars be considered a war movie?

    "Where Eagles Dare" has got that SS officer in it who is just SO blonde-haired and blue-eyed, he's a caricature of "The Master Race". I want
    to crack up every time I see him.

    It's also got a twist ending worthy of Hitchcock.

    I saw The Train at Hollywood Video, don't know if you guys have Hollywood Video but haven't seen it at Blockbuster in my area.

    I don't think anyones mentioned Hell is For Heroes

    I just remembered two outstanding Korean War movies, "Men In War" with Robert Ryan, Aldo Ray and a young Vic Morrow and "Pork Chop Hill" with Gregory Peck. Check 'em out! "Bridges of Toko-Ri" with William Holden, Mickey Rooney and Earl Holliman is a pretty fair one.

    The Battle of Britain DVD is in the discount rack at WalMart right now for $9.88! I bought it last week. The all-star cast is great with every major British actor of the 1960's represented, including Olivier. Almost lost in the cast is a very young Ian McShane, who now plays Swearingen on Deadwood!
