a tank movie worth seeing

it's set pretty much entirely inside a Centurion at the start of the Israeli invasion of lebanon. it's called "Lebanon" and available on bluray. it's rather good, but if I were that tank commanders commander he'd be court-martialled so fast...., along with his crew. also, the writer/director is the TC

A good movie, based on actual events, the director having been in the portrayed situation. Think it may have a different name this side of the pond.

I just purchased this and attempted to watch it a few nights ago. I couldn't sit through it. Watching the actors stand around and walk about in the fighting compartment of their "tank" resulted in a complete inability for me to suspend disbelief.

Waltz with Bashir, a cartoon, had much better and believable tank action.

I would say that the Beast set in 1982 Afghanistan with the crew of a T62 fighting the Mujaheedin was a much better tank film....

Havent seen Lebanon yet, but I have seen The Beast, and while I cant remember a lot of in-tank action, I do remember being solidly impressed by the story.

between the 2, The Beast is better, but Lebanon is more of a people story than The Beast is, so they about equal out
