A Bridge Too Far
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.

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.

turning metal being punk rock.

One of the best ever. I have it on DVD. That was the first and last movie my father ever took me to. I was 8 years old in 1977 when it was released.
Some other top notch movies:
Bridge over the River Kwai
We were Soldiers
The Longest Day
Flags of our Fathers
Patton
Zulu (the 1964 one)
Apocalypse Now
Glory
The Great Escape
The Dirty Dozen
The Big Red One
Guns of Navarone
Tora! Tora! Tora!
The Desert Fox
Battle of the Bulge
Kelly's Heroes
Enemy at the Gates

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!
Tora! Tora! but haven't seen it yet.

When I was first posted to the Airborne, we had to stand up and sing the whole song in front of the entire mess. It was written by Paul Anka, believe
it or not.
Well, its this place where nobody works, and the pigs don\'t give you any shit. Everyone smokes weed and gets drunk all day. Its a place where
cunts like me and you can truly take it easy and relax. Know what I mean?
