This is a fun one, lots close calls
I know that M*A*S*H is the sentimental favorite to win this bracket for those of us who were around in the 70's and 80's during the TV show's run, but it's difficult for me to rate a comedy as a "classic" war movie since my military experience informs me that there is precious little humor in actual war. Think I will stick to my "Guns" this time.
MASH is a good movie, but I don't think it will even be close compared to Guns. Guns should be a final four movie.
Which Henry V? Assuming '89.
Yes. The Kenneth Branagh version.
The Round of 32 is completed.
Zulu blew away Red Cliffs 22-9
The Hurt Locker regicided Henry V 24-9
The Red Badge of Courage squeaked out a win over 1941 17-16
Guns of Navarone finished off M*A*S*H* 24-8.
The Sweet 16 will begin on Monday, with the Western half of the bracket, followed on Wednesday by the Eastern Half. Monday the 22nd will see the Elite 8, Wednesday the 24th, the Final 4, and Friday the 26th will be the Championship round, with results posted Sunday the 28th at noon.
A war movie for the future will be:
The Greatest Beer Run Ever
Excellent book I bought for my Navy jet jock Dad that I am now reading.
Great. Non-Fiction Story.
