Michael Caine. Robert Duval. In fact Robert Duval is my favourite actor.
I have remembered another classic that should not be left out of any list.
" Battle of Britain". Great in every way.
And Shindler's List.
And the Dam Busters.
And what was the name of that terrific movie with Clint Eastwood, when they parachuted in to that castle in the German Alps from a Ju 52?
Great.
'Where Eagles Dare"......Yes

Complete with a Bell 47 ....... which as things go, wasn't too far out of place. Actually, one of my intel profs noted the realism of that movie, Eagles, when Richard Burton says he's with some service when a German soldier walks in ... and departs instantly, because no one wanted to get on that service's bad side. I don't remember the exact line or the service mentioned, though.
The book wasn't bad, either (Alistair MacClean).
I caught part of Battle of Britain on TCM this weekend and while movie creditbility is always debatable, I have to wonder .......... did Goring ever have any leadership creditbility?
