Default Re: What is your absolute favorite scene in a war movie?
After watching "A Bridge too far" I saw another one of my favorite scenes:

The troops of the 101st Abn. run down a road, with Eliott Gould in lead, with fast-paced music coming on as they dash for the Zon bridge. Suddenly the Bridge explodes and the music stops. Gould moves up to inspect the damage, two shells explode in the river near him. He is unmoved. Sprayed with water, and chomping a soaking cigar, he turns around and says, "Sh**..."

BTW Gould's Character, as I heard from the screenwriter, is the only fictional character in the movie played by a major actor. Interesting.
