Where Eagles Dare

The mission is clear. Get in. Get the general. Get out. Commandos charged with freeing a U.S. general from an Alpine fortress should also be told to trust nothing - including the search-and-rescue orders just issued.

Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood go Where Eagles Dare in this twisty World War Il thriller written by action master Alistair MacLean (The Guns of Navarone, Ice Station Zebra) and directed by Brian G. Hutton (Kell's Heroes). Known for fiery dramatic roles, Burton ventures into the realm of movie pyrotechnics with dynamic efficiency. And Eastwood's cool-fire presence heightens one searing action sequence after another. The film became Eastwood's then-largest hit and its studio's #1 moneymaker of the year.

The Big Red One

"THE REAL GLORY OF WAR," Samuel Fuller said, "is surviving" A decorated combatant with the famed US. First Infantry in World War Il, Fuller survived. His 1980 film version of his war experiences did not...until now. Working with 70,000 feet of vault materials and Fuller's shooting script,. critic/filmmaker Richard Schickel heads a reconstruction that adds over 40 minutes and transtorms a truncated but admired war film into an epic masterwork. Lee Marvin, in a richly layered performance now revealed as one of his finest, stars as the sergeant of peach-fuzzed riflemen fighting from North Africa to Normandy and across Europe. The film is the squad's combat diary, war as its fought and sweated and bled and, maybe, survived.

Battle Of The Bulge

Five months after D-Day, most American soldiers think the German army is broken. The Germans think otherwise. In an attempt to buy time to fill the skies with their invincible new jets, they launch one fast, furious offensive: the Battle of the Bulge.

For this epic recreation of one of World War Il's most crucial confrontations, director Ken Annakin (The Longest Day) captures the explosive action of massive forces squaring off as Bulge well as the brave, individual ingenuity of weary Gls trying to survive a cruel European winter. The cast is a juggernaut of stars: Henry Fonda, Robert Shaw, Robert Ryan, Charles Bronson, Telly Savalas and more. Experience the vast panorama of war in all its intensity-and all its heroism.

Battleground

December 1944. A civilian victim of the Battle of Bastogne scrounges through garbage to find a scrap of food. "T don't even see those things," a war-numbed Gl says. "I want to remember them!" his buddy snaps.

Bastogne veteran Robert Pirosh remembers with his Oscar-winning* screenplay for Battleground, a gripping tale of 101st Airborne troops resisting Hitler's fierce, final counteroffensive. Directed by William A. Wellman (The Story of Gl Joel), the superb cast includes James Whitmore as a bantam rooster of a sarge and Van Johnson as a wisecracking PFC (as in "Praying for Civilian"). Rugged and unsparing, Battleground - nominated for six Academy Awards®* including Best Picture - makes sure we all remember.
