Re: Favourite War Film

Interesting. I've never heard of some of those titles. I'll have to look them up. 'The Train' has always been one of my favorites. To add to the TV series I would have to add 'Band of Brothers' and the just released 'The Pacific'. I had heard that the guys that did 'Band of Brothers' were planning on doing something on the Pacific, but did not realize that they had done so until seeing this in stores several weeks ago. Now, having seen it, I actually think it is better than 'Band of Brothers'. It focuses on 3 characters (Robert Leckie [author of 'Helmut for my Pillow], Eugene Sledge ['With the Old Breed'] & MoH winner John Basilone) rather than a whole regiment - much more personal. The 2-3 episodes on Peleliu are incredible.
