Wes, I agree with your post. One shouldn't expect to get a history lesson when one goes to a movie. Don't give up, my friend, there probably, at some point will be a re-make of both of the movies you mentioned. First, of course, Hollywood has to digest how many dollars were generated by "Pearl Harbor." If they are satified that enough profit was made, we may see remakes of, "Sands of Iwo Jima," "Wake Island," "From Here to Eternity," "Battle Ground," and God knows what else. We probably will be immursed in WWII movies!

About five years ago, I wrote a WWII based screenplay and submitted it to a production company. They wrote back and said, "No one is interested in WWII anymore." Jaysus, maybe I'll brush the dust off that screenplay and resubmit!
