Anyone else catch the series The Rat Patrol on Netflix et al streaming?

Although it was a TV series still a good one IMO.

Also, was the Jimmy Stewart where he and crew have to re-engineer their crashed bomber in the desert movie called Flight of the Condor? I don't remember the name, but it was a good flick IMO.

I just started watching one last night that I'd never heard of before. Australian film that depicts a true episode from WWI entitled "Beneath Hill 61".
Got a few more that have popped up into my memory-
Breaker Morant
Zulu
The Sand Pebbles with Steve McQueen

A street in Gilroy is named in his honor.

I liked "Gardens of Stone" as well.

My dad was in that battle. When he got home my uncle(moms sisters husband) thought it would be funny to light some firecrackers behind him. BIG MISTAKE. almost fatal.

After watching ZULU one can see where a lot of Monty Python's self deprecating humor comes from. Spot of Tea? IIRC there is a ZULU attack takeoff on Python's History of the World
