"Kelly's Heros"?

Or are you thinking of another one? I can't remember if Dom was in KH.

There are quite a few good U.S. WWII movies people have mentioned. I couldn't even think of them all.

IIRC, "Battle Hell" was another good one.

Saw the movie Flags of Our Father... I kinda thought it was crappy, I guess it was made for American domestic consumption. Letters from Iwo Jima was pretty damn good though. Another movie I never see talked about, but I thought was brilliant was a movie called 'When Trumpets Fade'. It's more drama than action, but damn this was a great film. It follows an American infantryman who is treated like a coward for being the only survivor of his platoon... but the truth is vastly different.

Not holding my breath on this new film, actors look kinda pretty boy to me. If it had a few guys in there with faces only a mother would love, it would be more convincing. Still, Peter Jacksons first movies blew up sheep with rocket launchers and used the V6 Ford Capri as a secret service car, i'll give anything a shot. Good luck to the crew making this film.

Ok. So there are some good american WWII movies. I also forgot the great raid. And i also liked the 2 Iwo Jima movies Clint made. Fingers crossed this one will have the same high standard.
I know it's a German production but have you ever seen Stalingrad?

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.

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"
