Battle of the Bulge - probably one of the greatest missed opportunities ever IMPO. Would have been better to tell the story straight, but Hollywood had to tinker and add a load of guff to the KG Peiper saga. As for blunting the advance of a KG by setting light to a couple of oildrums - barf ! Unwatchable.

Thin Red Line - a curate's egg ; good in parts ( especially the fight for the bunker on the hilltop ). But - could anyone make much sense of the story ? Overlong, confusing, and the central character was, in the end, very irritating indeed. The least bad of the three.

I'm not a professional film critic - so these are only personal opinions. Others may think that they're great films - that's OK by me.....
