Default Force 10 from Navarone

Just watched this movie again (last time must have been 30 years ago) If you're under 30 you may not know many of the actors. If you're under 20 probably only one (Harrison Ford) The later part of the movie had a lot of T-34s being used as German tanks. I'm sure the last time I watched it I wouldn't have picked up on that (lol)

Yeah, that was like made in 1977 or '78. The 1957 "The Guns of Navarone" was 'part one' of "Force 10 From Navarone" but just as good.

I remember seeing that movie in the theature when I was a kid and really liking it. Completely forgot, if I ever knew, that Harrison Ford was in it.

I gotta say I like Force 10 from Navarone but it is nothing compared to The Guns of Navarone.  I mean seriously, Peck, Niven and Quinn are amazing and ten Harrison Fords couldn't out act them.

Awesome movie but I give the nod to the original The Gun's of Navarone. I have a collection of oldie war movies - The blue max, the iron cross, the big red one, Tobruk, raid on rommel ( made at the same time using the same sets and equipment and even some scenes as Tobruk ), midway, tora tora tora, the longest day, mister roberts, sahara ( starring lulu bell the grant tank ), walk in the sun...on and on heheh

I see I am not the only one who collects WWII movies!

BTW, lulu bell was the M3 Lee tank. The Grant was the result of what the British modified the Lee for their use.
