This movie, A Midnight Clear, is the same story as that song.

I'll have to check that one out, too.
 
U571
Das Boot
Hamburger Hill
Black Hawk Down
Schindler's List
The Counterfeiters (foreign)
Ahhh, Das Boot. I remember vividly when i was a teen and that was showing at the same theatre, at the same time as Pink Floyd's 'the Wall.' My parents went in to see Das Boot, and bought me a ticket for The Wall ... my life was forever changed :cool:

But i finally watched Das Boot a few years ago, and enjoyed it :D Them U-boats were badass!

The Wall - excellent movie, and it fits into the theme of this thread being part of the story did relate to WW2.
 
Apocalypse Now Redux
Robert Duvall is possibly the coolest ever in that movie. Standing on the beach, rounds coming in, everybody grabbing sand and he don't even flinch. He's taking care of business, and talking about surfing. Then he's flying through the jungle on the loud speaker, looking for his surfboard.

My Mom told me ...1961/62/63?... that This was the most important, the most Real, movie about The War.
I believed her, and I believe her to this day.
Thus began my man crush on Dana Andrews...
His "A Walk In The Sun" is a piece of the OP.
It coulda/shoulda been "The Best Years Of Our Lives"

Harold Russel won an Oscar for Best Actor!
Hey, it was 1946...
