No one brave enough to take a stab at it :-) Try not to internet cheat

heh -- I'm so stupid I don't even understand what is being asked ....

Just try to figure out the 10 war movies with the clues listed.

3: Pearl Harbor?
4: Flyboys?

not thinking too straight right now. i could probably get a few of them if i sat here awhile and thought about it. i'll try again later

#3 Wrong
#4 Wrong

ah, looking for names of war movies eh?

hmm ...

#7 The Dirty Dozen

Pretty sure about that as I recall that scene very fondly (and am familiar with both named actors). Great flick.

#7 is correct

#9 Wouldn't be Casablanca, would it?
#6 Must be All Quiet on the Western Front

#6 and #9 correct

#8 Bridge over the river Kwai?

#8 is a correct answer, but there is a better one. On the right track

If #8 isn't Bridge over the River Kwai, is it The Bridges at Toko Ri? My memory's hazy, but that's got a slew of faces in it. Bit of a long bow as there's more better knowns in roles in Kwai...

Tunnels are infrastructure too, but I'm taking it that's also a clue for the title so we're not looking for The Great Escape (now there's a who's who for you).

Another good answer- still looking for a different answer

Do'h. Was being too literal with #8: A Bridge Too Far. Everyone's in that film, just everyone.

For #4, the only movie I can think of about fighter pilots and the like in WWI is The Blue Max, but I can't make the 'team' clue work.

Still thinking...

D'Oh! Not "team", but "A-team"! Peppard was in that film, wasn't he?

If the clue had been Banacek instead of A-team, I'd have got that!

#4 and #8 are correct. George Peppard was the lead in The Blue Max as well as the lead in the A Team.

Ah, I see. I don't know much about American fillums and tv shows.

A happy guess.

Still need 1,2,3,5,10

gonna make a couple guesses:

1. Hot Shots
3. The Longest Day
5. Band of Brothers
10. Guns of The Magnificent Seven

i've watched alot of war movies but these clues have me stumped

1- wrong
3- wrong
5- wrong
10- wrong, but making progress with the second half of the clue

I'm going to take a bit of a long shot at #2 ... "The Big Red One". I know it opened with B/W scenes from WWI and then moves on to WWII. Stars Lee Marvin who I believe is credited with claiming "Captain Kangaroo" was the bravest man he'd ever met.
