Well officially on my never to watch list as long as Brad Pitt is involved.
Yep, that's a classic. What a great sound track. The movie is filled with actors we all know and love from a genre long gone - well some of us anyway---.Ya know, with all the remakes over the years--this might be one worth doing.Speaking of movies with WWII tanks, one of my all-time faves is "Kelly's Heroes".

That book "Death Traps" was one of the ones used by the author of this film's script. The consultant used sounds like there may be some exaggeration:I think I am going to go see it...it looks pretty good to me. I am curious to see how they depict armored warfare in WWII....fro what I have read the Sherman was totally outclassed by the Panther and Tiger tanks.....the original gun might as well have been shooting spitballs at them....on the upside...it was far more reliable than the German tanks, and faster and easier to produce. I read where Patton stated that the US would never have been able to break out of France using German tanks...they were too mechanically unreliable.
there is a good book out by a guy named Belton Cooper..I think its called Death Traps...his job was to go retrieve the damaged and knocked out Shermans and repair them in the field...he had to go in and clean out the remains.....
