I remember Pork Chop Hill (Korean War) as one of the greatest black and white war mores as a child. Although I loved the action, I could not quite grasp the insanity of it all - losing a hill and then retaking it again while suffering severe casualties. "Objective Burma," starring Errol Flynn, was a great bread and butter war movie, where Japanese soldiers chase Earl and the boys through the humid, muggy and unforgiving jungles of Burma during World War II. Of course, the flamboyant Flynn completes his impossible mission of destruction and gets away with nary a scratch,although he loses most of his men. He was so clever during this movie or at least more clever than his Japanese counterpart, outwitting him at every turn.
