There is The Last Samurai, in which he gets shot numerous times by a Gatling gun. Of course he lives kitty.......

Von Ryans Express is a good one. There are the type of films that you can critisize for

historical inaccuracies, but there are also films that you really must enjoy for what they

are. Ex. Von Ryans Express, The Great Escape, Where Eagles Dare, The Dirty

Dozen...ect. They are for sheer enjoyment.

"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)

'Das Boot' and of course 'The Sands of Iwo Jima' are my fave's along with 'The Sea Shall Not Have Them' and 'The Cruel Sea'. Also love the series 'Band Of Brothers'. Fave's outside WW2 include Zulu, which my ex-brother-in-law did the music for. Also The Sharp series.
