Kellys Heroes: I know, I know, as a wargamer its one I should have gotten too sooner. Fantastic film, wonderful cast doing what they are good at (it was the age of character actors I guess) Clint Eastwood being tough and charismatic, Telly Savalas being cool as a cucumber, Donald Sutherland being nuts (Oddball steals every scene) and Don Rickles being dry and sarcastic. I suppose I'm not telling anyone things they don't know, but the ending was a wonderful subversion of what I expected from a film of the era and I'd argue why it holds up so well.
