Just watched this movie and what a classic. Clint is superb and Donald Sutherland is great. Very good movie and would recommend it. WWII movie about a bank robbery behind German lines.

"Hiii, man"
"What're you doin'?"
"I'm just drinking some wine and eating cheese and catching some rays... you know. "
"While our armies are advancing and everybody's knocking themselves out to be heroes, we are holding ourselves in reserve."

Re: Kelly's Heros
Great film. I also loved "Where Eagles Dare" with Clint Eastwood. He was playing back-up to Richard Burton. Even though the machine guns never ran out of ammo it was still good.
The "Guns of Navarone" is another awesome flick. Based loosely around a true story.

Charles DeGaulle, who IMHO is actually a dead ringer for Peter Sellers.

I loved the scene where Big Joe, Kelly and Oddball walk the street facing down the Tiger tank...Cowboy style.

In my to 10 war flicks, great movie. No matter what I am watching if I am channel surfing, and I see it on. Everything takes a second.

Re: Kelly's Heros
If you watch that scene carefully, listen, you can actually hear spurs jingling to their steps. It is clearly an attempt at humor.

Re: Kelly's Heros
I liked Oddball's brand of "psych" armored warefare with his Sherman - welding a big tube over his 75mm so the Germans would think they had "maybe a 90mm" main gun...playing music over a loudspeaker during his attacks (pre-Apocalypse Now) i.e. "I'll Be Working on the Railroad"...shooting psychedelic paint shells during battle - that almost backfired when they shot the Tiger tank in the ass end with a giant paintball instead of an HEAT round - Patton would be rolling over in his grave!
Good action mixed with good comedy. I watch it about once a year, usually during a holiday break.
