"Made in Hollywood, U.S.A." Don't see that too often these days.

My favorite scene from one of my fav movies. Very realistic for its time, and a great theme of content. The best depiction of Bastogne until the one in Band of Brothers. This scene gives encouragement in any struggle.
-
Many of the people who made this movie were themselves veterans, and their memories were fresh. That is what gives this movie its stunning actuality: the comradeship, the blisters, the distant rumble of the guns, the freezing cold and exhaustion - it's all from real life.

8TH Infantry Division...

@esanch They weren't paratroopers. They were soldiers of the 327th Glider Infantry regiment.

@esanch And when told they had been saved by the 3rd Armored they replied, "We didn't know we needed saving".

The memory of war heroes cannot be sullied by your unpatriotic ignorance.
Ditto. If you do not feel pride seeing this scene, you had better check your pulse. Although the events are heavily dramaticized-this was the same group of surviving paratroopers who were surrounded, outnumbered, outgunned, cut off from their supply lines, low on food and ammo, and when the Germans asked for their surrender-they defiantly gave the now famous response-NUTS! Dove or hawk, conservative or liberal, nobody can argue it was not a proud moment.

Truly one of the great war films of all time, certainly my favorite. I was in the Infantry so perhaps I am a little prejudiced. The ending is quite memorable. Great ensemble cast.
