The Dirty Dozen

Have you seen it or not?

 

Just the TV edit. I have read the sequel A Dirty Distant War.

Middle aged male, US Army veteran for your database.

 

I'm not even sure I've heard of it before.

 

It's a fun movie, but I'd hardly rate it as a masterpiece. I prefer Tarantino's pastiche.

 

My dad is a World War II movie buff I grew up watching all of these types of things every Saturday and Sunday afternoon.

 

Seen it countless times, own it on DVD, and still watch it every time it's on TV. Classic film.

 

Watch it every chance I get.

 

Yes, a few times over the years.

 

Bloke and I've read the book and own all four of the movies on dvd. I hadn't heard of a sequel novel though.

 

Seen it many times. It's a classic.

 

I've seen it many times and like it. I always like watching Lee Marvin, he had a great presence.

Some have mentioned Inglorious Basterds... that was a movie I quite enjoyed till the last quarter and then ended up basically hating it.

 

Great film, the war games bit never fails to make me smile.

 

I've seen it many times. Great fuckin' flick!

 

Yes he did and the two TV movie sequels have nothing to do with it. A Dirty Distant War the survivors of the Dozen are sent to the CBI and get in a mission in Vietnam along with Ho Chi Minh

 

This is a hell of a good film. It's really funny and also really gritty. The Wild bunch and Bonnie and Clyde get a lot of the credit for upping screen violence, but The Dirty Dozen features our heroes locking all the Nazis in a shelter (With their wives and numerous innocents), and pouring gasoline and grenades in the vents. It's pretty intense, and undoubtedly exciting.

 

I've watched The Dirty Dozen several times.

 

Actually, IIRC, servants were the only innocents and they were told to leave.

 

A must watch every time its on and own the DVD. Love it back to back with The Great Escape.

 

I saw Flight of the Phoenix once when I was a kid. It wasn't bad from what I recall of it.
