It had Jean Claude Van Dam, so you KNOW it had to be kick ass!!!!

But seriously, there was this movie I saw a while ago.. I think it had Jim Belushi in it... he was the tank commander for a tank called Lulubell (I think)... they were in the African desert fighting and found a demolished building that had a water supply. Water supply was all dried up, but a battalion of Germans were on their way there to get the water. They held the area to hold up the Germans so they couldn't get either to Italy or some other place in Africa.

Anyone remember what it was called?

The original with Humphry Bogart was the best, imo. They used Valentine tanks I think. It was the one with the 75mm and another smaller turret gun. Somebody help me out here.

Very good movie both times.

I think the tank you want is the Grant. Had a 75mm gun in the hull, and a turret mounted 37mm gun IIRC.

Air - Battle of Britain
Land - saving Private Ryan
Sea - Das Boot

but there are so many other ww2 movies out who are really
very interesting, like Taxi for Tobruk or the flight of the phoenix.
