This is one of the most underrated movies of all time.

@mkeogh76 That's what threw me when Saving Private Ryan came out. I saw both Attack and Battleground on TV back in the 70s and the other two in the 80s. Hell is for Heroes is gritty as hell. Made war look pretty nasty to me. I was in the Marines when I saw it too!

Thanks Spacepatrolman, for the heads-ups, on this movie! There are so many great movies, out there, over the decades. Personally, I prefer the older movies, when the stunts and action was real, not computer graphics, and with Lee Marvin in this one...Enough said, I'll look for this one, on DVD. You know, it's times like this is when I miss Tower Records. That was my official DVD buying store. Now, I go to this place on Haight Street called Amoeba Records...Great and large collection stuff!

Anyone know in a classic WWII movie when a soldier yells at the other soldier in a tank caught on fire, "Jump Joe, JUMP!...I can't, I got no legs!!!!!!!" Who knows the name of that classic WWII movie??...It's either in the 1940's or 1950's

@mkeogh76 It's axiomatic that critics are idiots. And Spielberg lifted plenty from "A Walk in the Sun" for Private Ryan.

@mkeogh76 Spielburg isnt a veteran just a murderer that killed vic morrow and 2 children

When Saving Private Ryan was released critics said it was the first WWII film that didn't glamorize the "good war." Those critics had obviously never seen Attack (or Battleground or Hell is Heroes or A Walk in the Sun.) It's not surprising that Attack comes across as a realistic war film: Lee Marvin, Jack Palance, and Eddie Albert were all WWII combat veterans.

@snakes3425 Patton, Tobruk, Raid on Rommel (which re-used much of Tobruk's footage), and Cross of Iron's lame sequel, Breakthrough, was "pathetic" like BoTB; they just re-painted Patton and Walker Bulldog tanks as Panzers. Not to mention the Battle of Neretva, although using mocked-up T-34 tanks as Tigers, they repainted many Shermans and T-34s to portray other tanks.
