Re: Combat films

Well, since you mentioned A Bridge Too Far, I'll toss in The Bridge on
the 
River Kwai. Another good one is Murphy's War, with Peter O'Toole, though
it 
is a re-telling of Moby Dick.  Gallipoli's another good one.  I
personally 
loved SPR, though I don't know if I'll ever be able to watch it again,
it 
really tore me up. I was crying before they even swithced to 1944.  I
also 
love Kelly's Heroes, if nothing else but for it's irreverent poke at 
bureucracy.   But my favorite war film of all times is a short film,
called 
"Josef Schulz."  It's about a German Soldier during the invasion of one
of 
the Eastern European countries, I can't remember if it's Poland or
Russia, 
but it's excellent.

come
