...Um ok, I never thought it was, but if it is a competition, I hope somebody beats me, that way I get to find out about some great war films I've never seen, catch my drift..
So wanna compete? ;)
This turned into a competition to find out who can name the most obscure war films.

Are we racing cars now? Are we having a movie naming competition or a car race? Make up your mind.

Great list. I've seen - and own - most of those. Just upgraded to the Blu-Ray of GO TELL THE SPARTANS, which blew my mind yet again... and why isn't A RUMOR OF WAR on DVD in the States? I'd also throw 84 CHARLIE MOPIC and THE BOYS IN COMPANY C into the mix.
shareOh right 84 Charlie Mopic was great, same with Boys in C Co.
A Rumor of War, was a made for TV movie (weird since it has edited swearing and graphic scenes) there is literally 3 versions of that movie, I bought all three, two VHS`s, and one bootleg Chinese dvd, then edited them to make my own final cut movie?
It`s almost 3hrs with every scene, I would suggest getting the VHS it seems to have more, I was only lucky they played it on History channel ten years ago with lot`s of extra scenes so I recorded that to VHS
Sadly, I've never seem A RUMOR OF WAR, but recently read about the longer TV cut and the shorter R-rated cut and was actually planning to buy them for a fanedit! However, would you part with a copy of yours? If so, could you PM me with a price?
shareI saw and liked all of them !
