I remember this one from when I was in third or fourth grade. The Japanese in it are deliciously evil!
Saw this one not so long ago, I think:
Have only seen this one, the remake:
We may have as many 1940s war movies in the “overflow” as we do on the “first run” threads/polls. So much the better! 
I may be able to get the 1950s ones in on a “first run”…

Before I jump the gun on the 1960s films (70 at last count), if you know of some that ought to be among them, post them today, please.
This is the Rickenbacker movie I was thinking of. With Fred “Steve Douglas” MacMurray in the title role yet!
Not soon enough! Sorry for the delay.

Since we haven’t gotten to 2000+ yet (unless I missed it)…
I didn’t check closely after I nominated The Lost Battalion. :smack: You got a 60s era movie that sounds pretty awful. I meant this one from 2001 (a TV Movie for the History Channel).
The Eagle (2011)
I’m not sure what you’re suggesting: Is there something else from this IMDb list that needs to be on our War Movies List? Not that that’s a problem, just don’t know what you’re wanting to happen. :dubious:
Just in case this is what you’re wanting to happen, I’ve added
The Lost Battalion The Lost Battalion (TV Movie 2001) - IMDb (2001)
and
The Eagle The Eagle (2011) - IMDb (2011)
to this list, which may need some additional titles before I post it as the last poll(s) of the group:

I’ll wait until at least 6/5/2015 (Friday) before moving ahead with it, in case there are more to be added.
I think he’s saying that he nominated The Lost Battalion (2001) but you listed Lost Battalion (1962) by mistake.
You’re right! It just took me a little while to see that. Thanks.
I remember my dad talking about** this movie** a long time ago. I recently got to see it on TCM:
I remember this one too:
Two more for the overflow:
Hail the Conquering Hero Hail the Conquering Hero (1944) - IMDb (1944)
The Admiral Was a Lady The Admiral Was a Lady (1950) - IMDb (1950)
Also for the overflow list:
The Cruel Sea (1953): The Cruel Sea (1953) - IMDb
Not nearly as good as the book, but it includes a very young Denholm Elliott as a Royal Navy officer, long before he was Indiana Jones’s professorial pal or Dan Ackroyd’s butler.
The Cruel Sea The Cruel Sea (1953) - IMDb (1953)
