SC & DC, thanks for the recommendations. Yes, I've seen FROM HERE TO ETERNITY and I did enjoy it. So, THE DIRTY DOZEN and BATTLE OF THE BULGE aren't on the same grand scale as THE GREAT ESCAPE, huh? What about THE LONGEST DAY or A BRIDGE TOO FAR? Other movies like that?

One more thing SC, I've seen about 3 John Wayne movies (STAGECOACH, THE SEARCHERS and one other one that I can't think of right now) and I was overly impressed with him either. Although, I would like to see RIO BRAVO.
