Movie set during WW2 - name the movie and actor

what is PATTON with George Scott?

 

They shoulda listened to him about the Russians..... May have changed the face of the world.

 

Yeah Hitler gets all the press, but a couple of our allies, Stalin and Mao, went on to commit larger genocides.

 

Makes you wonder what could have been.

 

So what's everyone's favorite ww2 movie? I go for realism a bit more. The Pacific, Band of brothers, Das Boot that kind of thing.

 

Agreed, Band of Brothers. I also like Memphis Bell.

 

Memphis Bell was good as well. My Grandfather was a Mechanic (top turret gunner) on a B-24 named the Fairy Bell.

 

I'm always going to be partial to the Air Force lol. When I worked in the nursing home I cared for a B29 tail gunner and a Canadian P51 pilot. Of our 380 thousand done odd kia 100 thousand of them were airmen. I loved the tv series 12 o clock High. It was the very first show we watched the night pops brought home or first tv.

 

I liked the movie To Hell and Back even thou i only seen it 1 time and have been looking for it everywhere so can watch it again but no luck, but there are several others that really enjoyed watching also

My favorites was Hogan's Heros and McHale's Navy.

Wasn't there also a movie made about PT-109?

 

I have a vague recollection of one, I think it was about Kennedy. I'll see if I can find the name of it.

 

Is this the one? It's just named pt 109 http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/PT_109_(film)

On my phone at the moment so hopefully the link works and isn't a mobile link.

 

It is called PT-109, who would of thought

 

As far as good war movies, Das Boot has a very compelling story and is expertly done. The Enemy Below with Robert Mitchum is very good also. There are so many good ones it is hard to pick one.

 

The star of To hell and back was Audie Murphy. Heres a link about him. http://www.badassoftheweek.com/murphy.html

 

a previous post mentioned the 12 O'clock High tv show. I absolutely love the movie starring Gregory Peck. ( absolutely my favorite actor of all time). I vaguely remember the TV show but the movie is top notch.

Aside from that I could watch Combat all day long.

Sorry I have no quotes to offer

 

Who said it and what movie? :
"To a New Yorker like you, a hero is some sort of weird sandwich; not a nut that takes on 3 Tigers..."

 

The movie is Kelly's Heros
The Charactor is Oddball played by Donald Southerland
