LH ... in regards to Thin Red Line being moody ... that's one of the significant factors of the movie ... the horrors of war and battle certainly should not be portrayed as 'upbeat'. The cinematography of the movie is outstanding .. paralling the killing of man to man in amongst the beauty of nature, it portrayed the Japanese as human, also caught up in the mad inferno of killing ... the continuing question narrated through the movie 'who are we'. In fact I think I'll watch it again tonite.

Le Saramouche ... Dr. Strangelove is a war movie but it is an anti-war movie .. that's why I like it, that's why it is so damned good.

Lighter ... thanks for the input on the Victors ... as mentioned, I was young but deeply impressed by that movie .. even though George Hamilton was one of the stars .... I've tried tracing it down at various video stores and outlets but it's not to be found. I'll double check the cable movies in the future. I certainly wouldn't mind seeing it again.
