Kelly's Heroes
 Very Good 17 Points 1970
BrianSez – with 17 Trust Points – rated it Very Good

A bit of 1970’s style irreverence tells the story of a rogue band of US soldiers who take advantage of the war in France to go for some cash. The best part of the movie are the cast of characters who (well maybe except for Clint Eastwood) really ham it up: Telly Savalas, Don Rickles, Donald Su…

Patton
 Great 83 Points 1970
Wick – with 66 Trust Points – rated it Great

Essential though Patton may be – as war movie, as American history, as biopic – it’s not the epochal statement the Academy thought they were canonizing with seven Oscars in 1971, including Best Picture. Back then Frances Ford Coppola’s script seemed subversive, undermining American militarism …

The Red Baron
 Good 17 Points 1971
BrianSez – with 17 Trust Points – rated it Good

A pretty engaging film about the infamous Baron von Richtoven — following him from his youth and on in to his WW I deadly (deadly to the enemy that is) activities. I didn’t research how accurate to history the film was, but it was remarkable how well they shot the flying scenes and gave a seemi…

Love and Death
 Great 66 Points 1975
Wick – with 66 Trust Points – rated it Great

Love and Death made me a Woody Allen fan, a film so funny, so smart, a film like I’d never seen before. Being but 15 at the time, how could it be otherwise. One of Woody’s great comedies, Love and Death remains pleasantly absurd, if no longer bellylaugh funny, yet still unspools a plethora o…

Aces High
 OK 17 Points 1976
BrianSez – with 17 Trust Points – rated it OK

Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines – as the phrase went back in the day. Magnificent indeed, but also jaded, troubled, and struggling with the fact that so little of them ever make it through WWI sotries alive. Aces High takes a soft-pedal (well, soft for a 70’s movie anyway) look a…

A Bridge Too Far
 Good 7 Points 1977
Fire at Will! – with 7 Trust Points – rated it Good

A fact-based retelling of Operation Market Garden, Richard Attenborough’s star-studded film suffers from its multiplicity of famous actors, and reminded this reviewer a little too much of Malick’s “Thin Red Line” (except Attenborough’s view of war does not match dead soldiers with injured birds)….
