It was a made for TV movie on TNT a few years back. I think it was TNT. I'm sure you can get it on DVD somewhere. It was very well done and worh checking out.

So many great ones mentioned so far. How about one of my favorites, 12 O'Clock High. Robert Mitchum made a ton, Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo, Anzio, there was one other where's he's in the Navy and gets shipwrecked on a Japenese occupied island with a nun God Bless You Mister something or other. I always liked PT109. Can't leave out All Quiet on the Western Front and A Bridge Over the River Kwai. Then I guess you can't forget MASH, Catch-22, Dr Strangelove (just for Slim Pickens classic bronko ride on the bomb). You know there's too many to add them all.

Oops, found it, it was Heaven Knows Mister Allison, not God Bless You
