I think it's time we saw some real Korean war movies! I'd like to see a movie about Fox Company during the Breakout of the Chosin Reservoir with representative Chinese human wave attacks. I served in Germany, and on two Reforgers we had -40 deg "wind chill", but only -20 deg temps. I cannot even "imagine" fighting in -40 deg temp weather! Those guys were in deep doo-doo, and I firmly believe we need to remind the public. What event/battle of the Korean war would you like to see remembered via a movie?

I agree, and have always wondered why there is such a dearth of movies based on the Korean War. There are only a few that I have ever seen. Lots of documentaries, but no feature films.
Also...I've always been fascinated by the 1st gen jet fighters/bombers (US and Soviet designs). Technologically they are the missing link...from when the 2 superpowers were still not sure where they were going with the technology...with one foot in dogfighting with machine guns, and the other in radar/heat guided missiles. Aesthetically they are kind of akward, kind of sexy, kind of clumsy...they are the redheaded college freshmen of aerospace history lol.

Yea....compared to WWII movies...dozens & dozens...just a handful of Korean War movies...sure gets one to wondering "why", does it not.
Since my father was injured on Pork Chop Hill on 9 Jul 53 and earned the bronze star with V device for his actions, and since he never talked about his experience, even on his death bed nearly a decade ago, I'd really like to see a film made of the last battle of Pork Chop Hill. In '59, Gregory Peck starred in a movie about an earlier battle on that hill, but the later battle, for obvious reasons, is more interesting to me...
