    Hello Carl,

    as for B&W, I would forward "The Hill" with Sean Connery and (sorry forgot the title (AFAIK Gregory Peck? storming and defending a hill position in Korea)
    as for color, I would forward "Stalingrad" and "Enemy at the Gates"

    Regards
    Kruska

    I forgot that for now-my favorite Color War Movie is: The Enemy Below--which is subject to change when i remember what I was going to post in the first place? ;-))

    Take care Gents-C.

    Favorite B&W....that's a tough one. There are so many great films; it's tough to choose just one. For now, 'Battleground'

    Color...again many great choices. Since it hasn't been mentioned yet...'Das Boot'...the complete series. :cool:

    Herr Kaleun beat me to "Battleground" for B&W with "The Sands of Iwo Jima" a close second.

    Color: "Band of Brothers" with "Tora Tora Tora" a close second.
