Yeah, it does kinda look like a WWII film shot in the 60's/40's time warp, but I love the film. quote: ORIGINAL: Colonel Mustard Where Eagles Dare. Early Eastwood, and I think Richard Burton?

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. Oft overlooked War Film - Play Dirty

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.

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.

Some of the tunnelers handiwork. It's called the "Pool of Peace". In 1917 it wasn't. [image]local://upfiles/9007/3507E9C81C8C40008CD5E54914F5D13A.jpg[/image] That's where some of the German trenches were.
