I think I’m about to embark on a war movie kick. I caught a little bit of Patton last week, and I have to say, it rocked.
“Rommel, you magnificent bastard! I read your book!”
—Patton, while defeating Rommel.
Just now I caught a commercial for the disgusting Hummer H3 featuring the soundtrack of The Great Escape, and I remembered how much I loved that movie last time I saw it.
You must see Escape From Sobibor. Best escape movie ever! Other essential war films include Das Boot, Three Kings, Where Eagles Dare, and Dog Soldiers (best modern war movie in ages, even though it’s also a werewolf flick).
