Lawrence of Arabia, Gallipoli

Not WWII.

But LoA is one of my all time favorites. 

You need to see it on the big screen.  I got to see it at an art house theater big screen.  Totally different experience that the cropped crap you get on TV.

You are correct. I guess my selective hearing, carried over to my reading comprehension.

Saving Private Ryan, and Das Boot as their replacements.
