Attack!
"Utterly absorbing and superbly crafted! A classic war picture." -Los Angeles Times
There's dissension in the ranks during the Battle of the Bulge! Oscar winner Jack Palance and Oscar nominee Eddie Albert star in this "tightly directed" (Leonard Maltin) and "gritty film [that] packs a wallop" (Blockbuster Entertainment Guide). "Prepare to take a tight grip on the arms of your seat" (Los Angeles Times)-the power of Attack! will rattle you!
When Lieutenant Joe Costa (Palance) learns that his men died because the commander, Captain Cooney (Albert), was too much of a coward to join the fight, Costa issues a serious warning: Don't let it happen again! But Cooney's cowardice forces Costa into a fateful choice: continue to risk the lives of his men...or take the life of the captain!

An oldie but a goodie - Chucky
Watching this old black and white classic featuring such greats as Lee Marvin, Jack Palance, Eddie Albert and Buddy Epson when they were just young, fit men starting out was a fun way to reminice. In true pre color fashon there is loads of action, tons of fighting, heavy armor on both sides and plenty of twists in the plot. An inept commander spends his time soused to the gills on Kentucky Bourbon while he sends out below strength patrols with the promise of backup and artilarry support. When his platoon marches right into a German trap the captian waffles on his promise of help and writes them off over the strong objections of his XO. Thanks to outstanding leadership, the platoon Leutenant (Jack Palance) gets at least some of his boys back against impossible odds. The war really starts when the enemy has been beaten back. A must se for those who like the old time classics
