Mostly on TCM and some of the older movie channels... But TCM has some greats this weekend!

Darby's Rangers
Up Periscope
Destination Tokyo.
Sgt. York
Battle of the Bulge
Patton
Where Eagles Dare
Green Berets
Great Escape
Kelly's Heroes
Merrill's Marauders
The Devils Brigade (a personal favorite)
And that's just a few

Several other Submarine movies I can't remember...

Some great ones you don't see often.

I didn’t see this on the list.

That old Battle of the Bulge movie with Van somebody and a young Ricardo Montalban actually did a good job on the history and some of the tactical stuff.

I think that is playing. Van Heflin? Battlefront? Is that the name? Sirhr

edit. Battlecry. 1954

I must say that after re-watching The Battle of the Bulge for the first time in decades...

I don't remember there being a desert in Belgium? Nor Yukka Plants. Also where the hell was Patton? And the 101st? Telly Savalas and gas drums? Really?

I remember really enjoying this movie as a teenager. Wow, it really has about no connection to reality.

But what a great Musical Number, with the SS Panzer troops doing their little dance up front. You can't do a 1960's epic without a musical number...

Damn... Being an historian ruins everything!
