The Dirty Dozen (Blu-ray)
They are convicts, psychos, lunkheads, losers - and champs at the box office and in movie lore. Lee Marvin portrays a tough-as-nails major volunteered in the Army way to command a squad of misfits on a suicide mission against Nazi brass. Charles Bronson, Jim Brown, John Cassavetes, Trini Lopez, Telly Savalas, Donald Sutherland and Clint Walker are among the 12 jailbirds who will earn their freedom if they survive. And Robert Aldrich (The Longest Yard) directs, blending anti-authority gibes with explosive excitement. Nominated for four Academy Awards, The Dirty Dozen won for Best Sound Effects.

Dirty Dozen - great classic - Canada123
All Star cast of real tough guys combined with great actors - all back in 1967 so there is no special effects (or normal guys going to the gym for 5 months so they look tough). This movie is about the real thing - before special effects - real acting by very believable actors. Great plot and very well shot - just a real gritty movie that stands the test of timeOld fashion western-style war movie - scihum
This movie is not bad at all, but expect it more like a western with a ww2 setting. This is just not a "real" war movie. Caracters look like western caracters, gruff, simply and mean with gold heart. Minimum gore, almost no blood but still violent. Don't expect too much special effect. The second part of the movie, in Britain, is much more better than the first part, because they loose a bit the movie comedy aspect and become much more drama than anything else. Watch it like a movie of Sergio Leone.Dirty and Entertaining - SemiCoherent
Definetly a movie that my father also said was great but I just never got around to seeing.
