The fighting Seabees! Required viewing for Naval personnel in the construction battalion. Actually more of a comedy really. One of the few movies in which John Wayne bites the dust.
I did not see Bridge on the River Kwai listed
He gets it in Sands of Iwo Jima too. |

| That is a pretty comprehensive list, that includes my favorites. My Father and I always watched Stalag 17, whenever it came on TV. At ease! At ease! NEXT!

I think you are mixing two movies. The one where they are on the Island to kill each other and then have "help" arrive is a Darren McGavin TV movie (ABC movies of the week which were great): The Challenge The WWII one is Lee Marvin and Toshirô Mifune in Hell In The Pacific |
