So many great war movies have been made, no way to pick just one.

So, I thought I would toss this one out there for discussion: what are you favorite war films? It can be any time, place, or subject matter. It could be historically interesting, thought-provoking, off-beat, heart-rending, surreal, wacky, or some combination of those.

Thanks for sharing.

The Lost Battalion.

Today, I started my day by watching........

That....... got me interested in the subject.
So, now I'm watching, the Hollywood movie, "55 Days at Peking".

And, my the next movie (for today) will probably be Khartom.

IMHO, movies like these along with Charlton Heston's acting was always a "quick and dirty" way to learn about some history when I was a teen. Humm......"The Ten Commandments"? Rrrrright.......anyway......for me, the movies didn't always have to be 100%, THE TRUTH. Back then, ENTERTAINIING was good enough.

I'm adding The History Chap's channel to my YouTube subsctiption list.

Remembering that although it's the Holiday season.....well, Ukraine is still fighing off the aggression of the Russkis and N. Koreans. So anyway......some old movies from THEM.

I've never seen the 2012 version, and from the reviews I've seen, I have no desire to.

Besides, the 1984 version gave us...

Hacksaw Ridge has some of the best battle scenes of all time in it. And Vince Vaughn steals the show. Maybe Mel Gibsons finest directing.

Maybe it should have been titled "The Least Samurai"?
