A favorite of mine is "In Harm's Way"

Same. Yeah, it does kinda look like a WWII film shot in the 60's/40's time warp, but I love the film.

Nobody ever mentions this movie: Tobruk with Rock Hudson and Nigel Green and George Peppard.

I haven't seen it since I was a kid, but I enjoyed it then. I don't want to watch it again, since I have fond memories of it and don't want to be disappointed.

Haven't seen it in about 15 years. or so. Good movie. I just saw a documentary on the IDG, last week, and instantly thought of this.

I wonder why it took so long for someone to mention THE LONGEST DAY. One that I've always found interesting (maybe because I watched the Star Trek episode based on it first) is THE ENEMY BELOW.

And besides watching - how about reading. The Cornelius Ryan triple (THE LONGEST DAY and A BRIDGE TOO FAR are on Amazon, THE LAST BATTLE is on Amazon, but not if you look under Ryan's name (odd)) might make good reading for a kid interested in history. And they take a while to read.

Enemy Below is a GREAT FILM! Always think about when I watch ST: TOS "Balance of Terror" too...

My eldest and I are going to go on a war movie BINGE!

John 3rd of the war films I mention previously, if you are going for a war movie binge - and you haven't yet seen this - I really would recommend Operation Daybreak.

Besides "Gallipoli" the Ozzies have some pretty good movies taking place in WWI: "The Lighthorsemen", ANZACS and the aforementioned "Beneath Hill 60".

When I was there last year the wife and I attended the "Last Post" ceremony in Ypres/Ieper/Wipers. Even though all of the ancestors I know of were already in the US by the time of WWI I found 8 names with the same surname as me and 2 more with my mother's surname on the panels of the monument.
