Don't forget that recent movie about a Russian tank separated from its comrades in Afghanistan ... on TV ... might have been called The Beast or The Tank or something like that.

And there was an older movie about ordinary Germans caught up in WWII and just trying to survive as reluctant soldiers, vaguely aware of bad things Hitler was doing but unable to influence that.  It ends with the family reunited and on their townhouse balcony looking down the street toward advancing Russians and saying something like, "Maybe it won't be so bad."

That was called "The Beast" and it was an HBO film from about 4 years ago.  A very well done film.

er, was it this one?  A bit older than 4 years though. Not sure if they did some sort of remake.

Kelly's Heros is the one I've watched the most.

If you havn't seen it, it's a must see.  Oddball is my hero, and the best tanker ever.

I'll try to remember some quotes from memory.

"My CO got his head blown off, and his CO doesn't realize he's dead.  Now we wait here behind the lines, incase Hitler makes a push towards Paris, or New York."
-Oddball

"Crazy! I mean like, so many positive waves maybe we can't lose! You're on!"
-Oddball. I think this is when he decides to engage some Tiger tanks and 80 infantry in his Sherman with less than a dozen infantry to support him.

"I'm just drinkin a little wine, eatin a little cheese, and soakin up the rays"
-Oddball, sitting on a lawnchair in the middle of the battle mentioned above

"That's my other dog imitation."
-Oddball
