There is an old war movie called The 5 Sullivan Brothers or something like that. Has anyone heard of it or seen it?
It was a really great movie about 5 brothers that went off to war and all five died. I don't know if it was a true story or not. I believe it was about WWII but I could be wrong. I only seen it once many many moons ago.
Paths of Glory
Released: 1957
Director: Stanley Kubrick
Staring: Kirk Douglas
fantastic movie! shows how much the average soldiers counts and how people are decieved.
in france it was banned for 20 years or so ....that should encourge a few here to watch it!
Saving Private Ryan, and Enemy at the Gates are both very realistic, and with good stories.
Sandy "The Fighting Sullivans" is a true story (more or less). The five brothers were killed at the Battle of Guadalcanal when the USS Juneau sank. After that the Navy adopted a policy of not putting two members of the same family on one ship.
Thanks JeffT. I always wanted to find this movie.
