darthspudius: GOG not fixing up the website or people abusing the forum. So many unnecessary arguments and nastiness. Sick of this shit man. If I wanted this kind of thing I would go back to the Steam forums. To Hell with this place. Adiós.
Again?

They did indeed, that was the funniest part of the scene. Kelly's Heroes is possibly my favorite WW2 themed movie because it doesn't take things so seriously, and because of Oddball's positive waves attitude. ("60 feet of bridge I can pick up almost anywhere, schmuck")

I've always liked his bit about putting the pipe over the barrel to make it look larger.

My brother repeats your bridge quote fairly often. I should dig up my copy of the film, and some time to watch it. I hope it's not on VHS.
Kelly's Heroes is OK, but I was always more of a Dirty Dozen fan myself.

How wonder how Donald Sutherland compares the two?

Now he dies in Dirty Dozen but it is an all around better movie.

OneFiercePuppy: I know if you explain the joke, there is no joke, but...just in case you never had to read h4xx0r5p33k, 1337 is "leet" in 1337. Which is your rep at this moment.

Fuck me, that got recursive quickly.

Momo1991: I know - I was just riffing on the word "elite" :-p Plenty of peeps got down on the "rep as an extension of gifting" instead of rep as a measure of forum activity, i.e., being a good forum member... (yeah, explaining it isn't funny :-p)

It was you, through collusion, that ultimately made me realise that they were no longer viable. While you've been very charitable and very helpful to people, don't think you're not a part of the mess we've all made.

The difference is that you're running away.

I agree.

Check out this interview: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2005/sep/03/usa.film

BTW, another good war movie with Donald Sutherland is "The Eagle Has Landed".

I raise a toast to your brother (just carrot juice, but a toast nonetheless!)

You film snobs, you! Dirty Dozen is good but ultimately it's a glorified tutorial video for Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines and in that category of tutorial videos I like Where Eagles Dare even more.
I prefer Kelly's Heroes over those movies though because it's slightly more inane and made me laugh multiple times even on repeat viewings.

Regarding Where Eagles Dare, if you try to do the following things in Commandos you're going to have to suffer through a lot of reloading, it might be more suited to a NOLF or Return to Castle Wolfenstein playthrough:

The Guns of Navarone is a glorified tutorial for Commandos. :D

Cool, we're talking about war movies.

Kelly's Heroes is one of my favorite movies at all and certainly one of my favorite war movies. I like Dirty Dozen as well but I thought it was... pretty good, not great. It's not like it does anything so wrong really it's just not as enjoyable or funny as Kelly's Heroes. I like The Eagle has landed quite a bit, very fun fight scenes and well done in plot. Where Eagles Dare is a good movie, my favorite scene is with Richard Burton in the bar. Admittedly my favorite part of that movie is the resulting segment of RTCW.

This might seem odd but between the Dirty Dozen and the Devil's Brigade I generally prefer the Devil's Brigade. I dunno why per se but I thought it was a better war movie, even if not as funny as Dirty Dozen could be but at the very least the rivet counter in me gets a break since it's based on a true story (mostly). Realizing that Kelly's Heroes is not very plausible also but at the very least it's comical from the get go as opposed to the pseudo serious nature of Dirt Dozen.

Edit: Guns of Navarone is also a good movie. Made the more interesting by Anthony Qauyle's back story. Force Ten from Navarone is also pretty good... at least last I saw it, which was a while ago.

Gregory Peck called 'Guns' the silliest movie he ever did. :P He was quick to point out, a small group of soldiers doesn't penetrate a highly guarded German outpost and destroy it when things go flawless, much less pull it off when everything goes wrong, like in the movie.

Of course you can pull it off, i've played COD and MOH (on hard mode!).
