To continue the war movie theme, what's your favorite "guilty pleasue" war movie to watch? You know, the one that you will always stop to watch when it's on, but you never are willing to admit it to anybody for fear of being ridiculed.
I'll start off with some of mine....
"None But The Brave" with Frank Sinatra...I love it!
And another Sinatra movie..."Von Ryan's Express"
I really get a kick out of these movies
So, anyone else out there brave enough to embarrass themselves?

I wouldn't be embarrassed by any of those choices, especially Dr. Strangelove! One of the greats!

Any of those Ancient Roman flicks from the '50s and '60s. Especially ones with Richard Burton

Kelley's Heroes! So the Tigers don't cut the mustard---Clint Eastwood, Telly Saveles, Carrol O'Conner, and Donald Sutherland do. Woof! Woof!! :-)

Jeff--if you remember Combat with Vic Morrow then you might also recall a short lived series on the Marines entitled the Lieutenant. It starred Robert Vaughn.

I used to love the "Rat Patrol" with I think Christopher George. I still love the old B/w films like Sahara w/Bogie, the Atlantic moies about the convoys and Midway.
