Battle of the Bulge - 1965 film
I know they couldn't get real German tanks (or real Sherman tanks), but the M-48s are still jarring and spoil the effect for me.

When I was a kid I didnt understand why my dad hated it so much. Later I figured it out.

I grew up thinking "In Harms Way" was a true story, man I loved that movie.

was re-watching some of Patton recently.

The production value of that is pretty bad also.

Speaking of Patton, watch the part where the Germans are advancing in the desert. Theres a scene where one of the actors gets run over by a tank. He doesnt get crushed but damn close.

On my list of favs as well. Story line has absolutely NOTHING to do with WWII/PTO history, but it's a damned good movie!

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24
