Battleground. They share Longest Day and A Bridge too Far. Battleground is theirs alone. "Cadence Count" from Battleground is part of my "going to wargame convention" music.

Agreed. The only "dedicated" film is "Battleground," a masterpiece that has depths to it many viewers may not appreciate. TVAG

Without a doubt . . . Band of Brothers.

Battleground (what a great cast)

I like Battleground for giving some lov eto the glider-riders
Oberlindes Sol LIC	11 Jun 2024 9:14 p.m. PST
Now I have to find Battleground. Amazon and Roku both have it. Thanks for the recommendation!
Martin Rapier	11 Jun 2024 11:58 p.m. PST
Another vote for Battleground. What a great film.

Agree with the assessment of "Battleground" as an excellent. I never realized they were glider troops.
Choctaw	12 Jun 2024 10:42 a.m. PST
Battleground but only because BoB doesn't qualify.
Disco Joe	12 Jun 2024 3:14 p.m. PST
I have seen the first two Bill listed but never heard of Battleground.

A Bridge Too Far

At the end of Battleground ( during the credits at the end)they are marching and the cadence has a line about fighting into the 1950s.

And we won't get back 'til the end of the war In nineteen hundred and fifty four.
