Death_at_Midnight Cobra R & D Offline --> Posts: 4,001 --> Join Date: Nov 2008	"The Guns of Navarone" "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo" "Sahara" "Sink the Bismark" "The Longest Day" "Midway" "Tora, Tora, Tora" "Platoon" "All Quiet on the Western Front" "The Great Escape" "The Bridge on the River Kwai" "Sergeant York" "The Empire of the Sun" "Battle of the Bulge" Just a few off the top of my mind. Being a history buff I love classic movies, and love the old war films. I do watch documentaries once a year like Victory at Sea, and even Vietnam, a History. For films it's gotta be the old stuff. Take Sahara, for example, it's gritty, or a few weeks ago on TCM (Turner Classic Movies) the movie "The Seven Graves". How about non-WWII films? "The Four Feathers" (1939?) come to mind, or some of those about the French Foreign Legion. Lots of great stuff! __________________ ~~~{==========- Death at Midnight -==========}~~~ Last edited by Death_at_Midnight : 03-15-2010 at 09:03 PM.
