In honor of Memorial Day, one person’s list of favorite war films (via Instapundit). I have to agree with the Comments that there are several notable omissions from the list, including Patton, Hamburger Hill, The Dirty Dozen, and The Great Escape.
On a purely personal note, although I am quite happy about the end of the Cold War and all that, one downside is the end of Cold War films. In my experience there is a cohort of early-40’s men for whom the exclamation “Wolverines!” has deep resonance.
Ok, maybe not really that deep and maybe not really that many of us and maybe not that many of us who really consider this to be a major cost of the end of the Cold War…
