Top 100 War Movies

A Tee Vee station is running a contest for the 100 greatest war movies ever made. Here is a list of the nominees.

I dunno who put the nominations together, but after a brief glimpse I'm somewhat dubious about it: any list of deserving war movies that includes Troy but doesn't include Gettysburg, Memphis Belle or The Bridge at Remagen seems pretty, well, uneven.

And where the hell is Stripes?

Yips! to Sheila.

I'm sorry but Stripes is not a war movie.

Eye of the Needle should be here, that is a great WWII spy story.

The Dirty Dozen should be listed.
