It must be the after efects of Remembrance Day, and some of the postings in related threads, but I've recently been thinking that the WWII movies that were made in the 1960's were some of the best made. Sentimentally speaking, of not cinematically.

I can remember the Great Escape, the Dirty Dozen, Green Berets, Battle of Britain etc etc with fondness, and would easily spend time watching them again. But I was wondering if anybody ever saw The Devil's Brigade? This one starring William Holden always seems to get slammed, but for me, it was my fav. something about the Canadians coming down the road with the skirl of bagpipes that just gets my blood going.

Has anybody seen this? What are some of the other War movies that evoke similar feelings?
