KELLY'S HEROES(1970)
This is one of the best war movies ever made with an
incredible cast: Clint Eastwood, Telly Sevalas, Don
Rickles, Donald Southerand(who steals every scene he's
in), Gavin MacLeod, Carroll O'Connor & Stuart Margolin!
If there's one war movie you watch, this one is the
one!!! A++
From IMDb.com:
With the Vietnam War in full swing in 1970, it seems that
the movie studios wanted a way to play previous wars for
laughs, if darkly. That year saw the releases of "Catch-22",
"MASH" and "Kelly's Heroes". The last one has an American
platoon looking for Nazi gold during WWII. The only thing
is, this is the most whacked-out platoon ever! Pvt. Kelly
(Clint Eastwood) may be pretty normal, but Sgt. Oddball
(Donald Sutherland) is a proto-hippie! And the rest of
the guys (Telly Savalas, Don Rickles and Carroll O'Connor
(right before he started playing Archie Bunker)) aren't
your average soldiers either.
All in all, this is a really funny movie. Obviously, we've
all got to come up with ways to maintain our sanity in
war, but there's nothing like how these guys do it! And
it's weird to think that the movie was filmed in Yugoslavia,
after all that happened there in the '90s. - lee_eisenberg
