TCM had a series of, mostly, second-rate war movies of which I watched little.

I watched "A Walk in the Sun". It is a curious film made during the war. I can't figure out if the tank in the latter part of the movie is a real PZ-1b or just a good mock up. I rank it up there with "Pork Chop Hill". It starts out slow but gets better as the movie runs and the real action starts. The P-51 pilot makes some low passes.

For a dive into Band of Brothers, and still think it's a good series, look into War and Truth YouTube videos, the series did a fantastic job for some of the guys, others got raked over or totally fabrication.

Sink the Bizmark, The Blue Max, and a little of The Pacific series.

Waik in the sun is a great movie. the Bridge is also a great film. both try to give a more realistic view of war.

"Walk In The Sun" is definitely an "A" war film. One of our channels had it playing all day paired with "The Hanoi Hilton," another "A" film.
