Yes Kellys heros while extremly far fetched was a good movie with rich charecters.

I still recall the german soldier in the tank "Gasolinas all over zee place" :|\\

Tora Tora Tora on the other hand was pretty good.

Great flick!

I tracked it down at TigerDirect & bought it a couple years ago. Great movie set in the Hurtgen Forest & very gritty. Not much Hollywood BS in it at all. It was made back in the 90s, I believe. Oddly, a lot of the credits include a good number of eastern europeans. HBO movie. Highly recommended.:up:

I'd recommend Letters From Iwo Jima, directed by Clint Eastwood. Far better than its counterpart, Flags of Our Fathers, Letters From Iwo Jima tells the story of the battle from the Japanese point of view. It's gripping to the end. One scene that will forever be etched in my mind: A Japanese soldier emerges from his cave after the days of being barraged and looks out to sea. As far as the eye can see, the ocean is completely FILLED with American ships. I can't imagine that terror...:o

Howler :arrgh!:

Hey, I just got assigned to a new boat in game, and it's the USS Drum. :up:

TigerDirect... okies.. I couldn't find it at ANY video stores here in NZ. Thanks for the heads up Nefarious.

Kelly's Heroes did not have Dom Deluise in it; you might be thinking of Don Rickles (Crapgame). I like the movie especially Donald Sutherland's Oddball a 60's wasted hippie like character; that would be the perfect sub commander ("Always with the nega-tive waves..."). The movie had a ton of well known actors in it.

Man...now I wanna see a sub movie like that...

"Who was thinking the bad thoughts? Who was sending out all the negative waves?!?"

Ben Affleck's charachter crashes his Spitfire during the day and then half way through the film you see what happened to him. He swims up and breaks the surface when it's night time. You've got to respect someone that can stay under water for that long and not drown.

"The Bridge on the River Kwai" is actually a british/UK film - but still awesome!

AMC played Letters from Iwo Jima the other night without commercial interruption... it was excellent! :yep:

i started watching it, might have been a good movie if i didnt have to read it. i despise movies i have to read the subtitles to know whats going on.

as for this new sub movie sounds like another over dramaticized pile of poo like the latest pearl harbor remake. looks from the description of the plot every bad hollywood cliche there has ever been.

why not just tell the true story of WHAT HAPPENED!!! real life in WW2 during the battles was enough!!

I'm the opposite. I'd so much rather have subtitles than dubbing. If I tuned in to Stalingrad and they started speaking English, I'd just turn it right off.

"Between Heaven, and Hell" Robert Wagner, Buddy Ebsen, Terry Moore. "A Helmet for my pillow" was another good one. "Beach Red", :up:

The Enemy Below, Torpedo Run, and Up Periscope are a few I remember seeing in the early 60's. They were good at that point in time.
