That is pretty much my list too.
(But I did like the action scenes in Windtalkers though.)

Anyone else out there seen, (regrettably) "The Battle of the Last Panzer"??

Memphis Belle & U571

Even the ending was rubbish, Richard Todd's jilted lover ridiculously walking into a minefield to blow himself up. I mean, come on!

Hi spinechicken, Well, it WAS a turkey, but if that's how it's written, and directed....! However! Richard Todd did act the lead in one of the finest war films ever made....AND The Longest day!

I do hope that was a typo SC! Don't you mean his lover walked into a minefield to blow HERSELF up! None of that funny stuff in the British cinema!!! The only thing stiff between British men was their upper lips!

Me too! I think... I fell asleep.

U571, if viewed as an action adventure, wasn't too bad IMO. As a historical piece, it sucked. But I'll give them credit, they at least made an effort for accuracy in uniforms and equipment! Except for the Kriegsmarine "destroyer," that is....

I on the other hand n' many with me rate The Thin Red Line among the very best war movies that's been made.

Richard Todd played his comanding officer in 'The Longest Day'. He was one of the paratroopers that took Pegasus Bridge.
