Post; Cross of Iron


Has any of you ever seen the movie "Cross of Iron"? I finally bought the DVD version and it is simply one of the best war movies ever made. The details are right, the settings are cool and the story is great.... If you want to see a great war movie from the German point of view in Russia, chech this one out!

Well FOx, you really should! I just bought the DVD and watched it for yet another time and I just don't get bored. FOr a film made in 1977 it is brutal and very well researched. Even the bayonet they use to silence a guard is the exact right one. Peckinpah went out of his way on this one!

The ending of the book is different from the movie. Peckinpah ran out of money towards the end and improvised. But this too he did very well. I even registered on imdb.com to comment on this movie. I found out that it is still very alive amongst the "entrepreneurs" of war movies.... So I say for the third time in this thread: an absolute must see for all of you!
