One of those war movies that never gets boring!

Rating: 10/10 (27 May 2015)

There are very few movies that I'll watch over and over again...and, this is one of them.
In many ways, this movie is much like "Kelly's Heroes" (another movie I can watch over and over) in how it's a war movie, but, there are many comical parts.
There are a lot of great actors in the cast of this movie as well. Veteran greats such as Lee Marvin; Ernest Borgnine; and, Robert Ryan; as well as soon-to-be greats such as Charles Bronson; Donald Sutherland; and, Telly Savalas.
Spoiler alert - After all of the clowning-around and funny parts in this movie; and, how many of "The Dirty Dozen" are thought of as 'nice guys,' and, they are - the ending may be a tad hard for many people to understand in the way that it's conceived by many as cruel. So was the incendiary bombing of Dresden; and, the bombing of London, Warsaw, Stalingrad, and, Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In war, many people die in many terrible ways, and, these guys didn't have a lot of time and had to do their job quickly and efficiently, and, then, get away.
I've always loved this movie, and, I watch it whenever it's on. I just saw it again this past 2015 Memorial Day Weekend...I still love it! :)
