You haven't watched "Guns of Navarone"???? Oh, a must buy or see. Gregory Peck is fantastic! As is Niven and Quinn and.... They made some geat movies in the '60s of McLean movies. Get "Ice Station Zebra", also - great sub movie.
I won "Sahara" at a cost of.....99 cents! So with shipping it will be $3.99! And I also won "Where Eagles Dare". A bit more at $10 with $3 shipping but well worth it.
"Stalingrad", "Dark Blue World" and "Battle of the River Platte" are out - either too expensive or wrong DVD Region.
Gonna look for deals on these...
"Clockwork Orange"
"The Right Stuff"
"Von Ryan's Express"
"Earth vs the Flying Saucers"
"Forbidden Planet"
"Tobruk"
"Omega Man" original with Heston
See how it goes. Thanks all!
anybody know the name of the movie about a lost patrol during Gulf War I?

Chief Master Sergeant
Guns at a place called Navarone
Just kidding, Two naval guns that guard a straights but cant be destroyed by air so a band of specials set out to blow them up via a covert ground assault.

Your right, Pb. I own it. And Forbidden Planet is one the best scifi movies ever made. The effects were over the top for its era.

Omega man is a good choice, I also recommend Soylent Green if you like Charlton Heston.
BTW have you got the original War of the worlds? It's a fantastic DVD and a favourite of my 4 year old son!

I have both the original and the Cruise/Spielburg slop. The copy I have has extras including the radio broadcast from 1938. As it plays it shows scenes from inside the studio. Also has a docu on the life of HG Welles. My favorite all time movie! (besides "The Birds")

Yeah I had a feeling you would have it, you have good taste!
Re the Gulf War movie, is it Bravo Two Zero you are thinking about?

Your not talking about Three Kings?
Njaco if you havent seen it I highly recommend Shawshank Redemption, another good American movie is Breaking Away. Neither are really war related but both excellent films.

Thanks PB, I've heard of the "Bridge". Will check it out. I don't know about the best 4x4 movie but you have to see "The Sorcorer" (I think thats misspelled) with Roy Scheider. About a group of guys who truck some TNT across Africa in a couple old deuce and a halves. The bridge scene is out there!
Got to suggest "12 o'clock high", my favorite. 'Flat Top' is kind of a Navy version of it. Not as good but I still like it.
Another one is 'Mister Roberts". This one has some sentimentality with it. My Grandpa has a story about his time in the Navy during WWII that this movie reminds me of.
Hadn't watched it in a while so broke out 'Hell Fighters' a few weeks ago.
A couple of suggestions; 'Dive Bomber', 'Hell Divers'.
