Classic War Movies

[Mark L.]

Is there anybody out there waiting for more releases of the classic war movies? One of my favorites is The Great Escape. What are some of the titles that you would like to see released on Bluray?

[Pirate King]

Stalag 17
Von Ryans Express
To Hell and Back
Mister Roberts
The Blue Max
Sands of Iwo Jima

[HotRats]

All of the above plus

Battleground
Attack
Come And See
Aces High
A Walk In The Sun
Pork Chop Hill
Hell's Angels
Dawn Patrol
Von Richtofen and Brown
The Big Red One

[Dr Strangelove]

The Train

[oildude]

All of the above plus these two most wanted classics:

Gallipoli
The Bridges at Toko-ri

And one 1978 movie not well known enough to be labeled classic, but an incredible Vietnam movie (it had the misfortune to be released the same year as The Deer Hunter):

Go Tell the Spartans

[Sinbad75]

I would add "Sailor of the King" to this list. A great Jeffery Hunter film about a Canadian sailor single-handedly taking on a German pocket battleship during WW2.

[oldtexan]

I would add John Ford's They Were Expendable and William A. Wellman's The Story of GI Joe.

They've been showing this one on MGMHD quite a bit lately. It looks quite good. I'd like to see this one released too, along with just about everything else mentioned in this thread.
