It's been years since I've seen that movie, and I watched it tonight. I forgot how good it was. First time I saw it was in a Navy leadership school, it really underscored the importance of leadership and unit cohesion.
yup ... great film. Probably my top five war films. I think Hamburger Hill is probably number one. Thin Red Line is up there as well. There are a lot of good ones though. Blackhawk Down is a pretty phenominal film. If you like old films Operation Burma is a good one... Errol Flynn
Mel is always good though. He is a favorite of mine. Check out Dragged Across Concrete sometime if your a fan of Mel. Not many people saw this movie.
Sgt. Major Plumley is distantly related to me. After he died there was drama about whether he was entitled to wear all the medals and ribbons he had on his dress uniform.

That movie should be a must-see for anyone in any leadership or managerial position. It transcends normal war movies with the lessons that it teaches. Hal Moore was a phenomenal leader at every level he was very successful.
Plumlee was a hoot, for sure. According to some articles I read, Sam Elliott did him justice in his mannerisms.
"Now THAT is a nice day, Sgt. Savage..."
Of course, the book is excellent as well. One thing I like about Moore is how much respect he gives his enemies.
