Kelly's Heroes, with Clint Eastwood, Telly Savalas, Donald Sutherland and Don Rickles, anno 1972-ish. One of the most awesome war movies I've ever seen. It's got humor, it's got sad moments, it's got interesting characters - hell, it's even got awesome combat scenes.

And it's got Clint Eastwood.

Young people today don't even know about movies like this one. It's kind of sad, really. Personally, I grew up with it. Had it on VHS, and literally watched the casette to destruction.

Yeah, I love Donald Sutherland, and this was the first movie I ever saw him in. Such a great actor.

And I agree with you. I'm pretty sure if Hollywood tries to do a remake of this, there will be a divine intervention when God sends a lighting bolt up their behinds.

Did you see him in MASH? Awesome again. About the same era. Btw, did you know that Sutherland is Canadian?

Yeah, haha, funny how everybody thinks he's American. Even more funny that Jack Bauer is also not American.

I don't think I did see him in MASH. I never had the chance to sit down and watch through the whole of that show. I might have to get to it one of these days tho.


I gotta say, though, my favorite character in the movie was Sergeant Job (spelling?) He seemed like such a thoroughly awesome guy. Shame he had to die out in that mine field.
