Can you mash the title of a war movie with the title of some other movie, and come up with a film that would make a serious military historian cringe? Consider a few examples: * Victor/Victoria At Sea
* The Bridges of Madison County At Toko-Ri
* The Gods & Generals Must Be Crazy
* Guadalcanal Diary of a Mad Black Woman
* Cheaper By the Dirty Dozen
* The Lady In The Waterloo
* All Dogs of War Go to Heaven
* Twelve O'Clock High School Musical Can you add a few? |
