"The Enemy Below".....submarine picture with the American Capt. on the destroyer, Robert Mitchum, matching wits with the Capt. of the German "U" boat. They both figured what the other would do but realized that the opposing Capt. would realize this so should they do something different or should they do what they originally planned figuring what the other Capt. figured? It was a chess game with the results being their lives.

When I was a kid in the fifties, there were two favorites and they still are up there: Audie Murphy's "To Hell and Back" and "Walk In The Sun," with unbearable suspense in the advance on the Italian farmhouse.

Today, my favorites are "Saving Private Ryan" for reasons cited above by Tal and "Das Boot" which I have seen at least ten times. Same basis.

Another one that has been a favorite since I was a kid is Sahara (1943) with Bogart.

How could I forget the Merchant Mariners?

World War II U.S. Merchant Marine Made Victory Possible
First to Go • Last to Return • Highest Casualty Rate • No Promised Benefits

About 9,300 mariners were killed and 12,000 wounded. Mariners suffered the highest casualty rate of any service during World War II, with 1 in 26 killed.

My mom thought it was the farm she was raised on, in Italy. Nice thought, but I don't think so.

Good flick, that deserves, to be watched.
