Can anyone recommend a good tank movie?

15. Thanks for the input.

I enjoyed reading what you had to say.

If there was an anti-war message, I didn't catch it. I was really just watching the film at the behest of a guy I was working with at the time. (A real right-wing gun-nut, but that's a story for another time.) I have to admit, I discerned a message that the film-makers probably didn't intend: the gold they were after was looted mostly from Jewish victims; if I remember the film correctly, they kept the gold for themselves, rather than make an attempt to return it to the families of the victims.

That 60's-style popular song they played at the end has become something of an earworm for me. When I think of the film, that song goes through my head. Yet another anachronism.

I will admit that Donald Sutherland did a very appealing job in the film; he was great in M*A*S*H, too. And, well, pretty much anything he is in.
