Just finished watching this for what must be at least the 20th time. My favorite WW2 movie, and one of my favorite war movies in general. Such an
awesome flick. Everybody should watch this movie or read the book that it's based on, as it's a true story that is incredibly fascinating.Brendan - 11-9-2008 at 02:37 AM
Years ago my band played Holland at the Wilhelm II club in Arnhem.
After we loaded in and soundchecked, the promoter told us we had a few hours before doors opened and asked us if there was anything we wanted to do.
The first thing I said was "Where's the bridge?"
We walked to the rebuilt bridge and saw some of the memorials
The bridge is named the John Frost bridge, after the British colonel who commanded the paras at the bridge during Operation market garden.panzerkreuzer - 11-9-2008 at 08:37 AM
near that bridge is a big soldier cemetary and a cool museum. if any of you make it there, visit both.

All great flicks, especially Glory and The Dirty Dozen. I'll have to check out the other ones you mentioned. I've heard great things about Tora!

it or not.clevohardcore - 11-10-2008 at 07:54 PM
