my grandad used to be gunner engineer of sherman tanks dureing ww2. ill never forget the time he took me to a war wheels exhibition, boy did he light up when the sherman tore past us, he got talking to the old boy who owned the tank, n because my grandad knew so much about them and had never forgotten how to drive them, we both got a ride in her,over thirty years on an i can still see my grandads face as he ripped that sherman round the field with me at his side. inside this chunk of roaring grinding iron, memories that will never die, RIP gramps, i hope your tareing round heaven in your faithfull old sherman mate.
What a story. My grandfather in the war was in London and was in charge of loading the bombs on most of his friends bombers. When we went to our local war museum on November 11, he saw the style of plane he worked n and cried. He was a quite man and he never spoke of his time in the war, but that day he told my father and I that was the same style plane that many of his friends never returned in. It was one of the only times that I connected with him. Thank you all veterans for your service.
Jason, you are correct. They don't make them like this because they just don't have the level of actors in great numbers as they did back then. The Longest Day, and Bridge To Far and It' s a Mad, Mad, Mad World were other greats that put many stars in one picture...
This film is proof of the spirit we once had. Even in the movies, America kicked butt. There have been a few great films made in the last several years of course, but you have to be careful not to insult anyone. Give me Clint, Telly and the others any day!
Exactly during the 1900's they made amasing war move's like "we were soldiers", "saving pvt Ryan", "Allies", and more don't get me wrong I loved "American sniper", "fury", and "unbroken" :)
this film always reminds me of my dad , i bought him on VHS for his birthday , god knows how many times i watched it with him ,still 1 of my fav films of all time
The only war movie that one can watch and still laugh and have a sense of comedy while still seeing the true disdaining aspects of war to some degree. For the most part there is a whole lot to appreciate about this movie be it from the all-star cast to the soundtrack! My most favorite element in this film are the three Tiger Tanks!! What a marvelous ending too!!! Everybody was all smiles even the Kraut of whom would have his share too!!! A simply amazing cinema masterpiece!
love it, the song really get's to me because my nephew is in the marines and he fought in the war in Iraq.and was there when the self bombings were going on. so the song means a lot to me
All the burnin bridges that have fallen after me, All the lonely feelins and the burnin memories, Everyone I left behind each time I closed the door, Burnin bridges lost forever more. BEST MOVIE EVER!
great movie greats actors one of my favorite classic movie , Funny , intelligent and great message of the stupidity of the war ... too bad we dont movies like this
I saw this movie when it was released........ This is why today I'm so infatuated with Tiger tanks. When I saw the awesome destructive power of that tank .... I was sold !! I've visited the Aberdeen proving grounds (tank museum) and saw the real Tiger up close and man ... it was a monster.
Amazing ... they would just about be my 2 all-time favorites as well ! ... The Magnificent Seven is right up there too, as well as ( for something completely different ) "This Is Spinal Tap" ... Wayne
Love this theme song... just watched the movie for the first time... my kinda flick. And, if you live a reckless life, this ones for you, "KELLY'S HEREOS!"
This MOVIE...this THEME SONG....you would not believe the memories they hold.....I was in in love with the ex-wife of one of the top people of this movie. She loved me, too. Sickness took her from me. I guess I will ALWAYS love "Joan." We were together until 1985....and my bridges are STILL burning for her. It was 15 years before I could watch this movie again. Now........just "negative waves."
That;s because they were actual Shermans used by the Yugolav army at the time. The Tigers were T-34s very accurately modified by technicians in the Yugoslave military for the movie
Have a little faith baby...always the negative vibes. What a great movie. I liked Clints early non western movies. Where eagles dare, Kellys Heros... just great movies.
Probably a big coincidence or someone has a sense of humour but Darby Kelly was an old English Folk Song which Status Quo turned into Burning Bridges. Now we have a new song song called Burning Bridges for a film about Kelly's heroes. Full circle or what ! LOL.....and people think you're weird Patrick.
Dude i frickin' love you! Back when i was a lil' kid i loved this song so much and now past so many years i hear this song again, thanks for the upload. seriously!
The scene where Oddball's tanks attack the railyard is an excellent example of what the US Army intended the M4 Sherman to do. It was never meant to slug it out with other AFVs. That was the M10 and M36 were intended to do.
Woof...Woof...Woof...Love this song,love the film, love the actors, love it! Wooof...Wooooof...Woooooof ...second dog impression. let's just pick up a bridge anywhere.
TAKE IT EASY KID, WE AINT IN THE MIDDLE OF CENTRAL PARK ^__^ i have this film on bluray and dvd and my original vhs tape, it is still my favorite film. thank u sooo much for the soundtrack friend ^_____^
