May 1, 2009This is the kind of classic war film that I loved as a kid. It's full of heroics, non-stop battle sequences and no yucky girls! Well, there is one girl, but she's a North Korean soldier and nobody ever kisses her so she doesn't count. :)

April 10, 2007One of the best war movies out there as Gregory Peck endures seeing the sacrifice of the lives of his men for no discernible reason during the Korean war. Gritty, powerful and thought provoking stuff.

March 14, 2009US Infantry vs. Fanatical oriental Communist forces in blood-soaked battle: 1953 Korea! ("They're not just Orientals, They're Communists!!").

February 11, 2008Flixterbum: Rip torn is the visiting Lieutenant that is present when the Army Media Team show up on the hill. Gavin "Love Boat" MacLeod gets wounded early on, being carried off by stretcher team tells them to hurry up, it hurts". Don't forget George Peppard (Later to be Hannibal Smith in the "A-Team") who is teamed with Harry Guardino carrying the .30 Cal Machinegun...Stanton has only one speaking part, when they are loading up in the trucks to move to the line of departure. Strode, James Edwards and Blake are standouts too...
