Remake a War Movie?

[Crossroads]

If you could remake a war movie, which one would it be? I am watching Battle of the Bulge early this morning and I want to re-make the movie with Don Fox as a technical advisor.

So many great actors and such a sorry story line. There was no need to dramatize it because there were enough true stories to make a heck of a movie. It should be more like The Longest Day or A Bridge Too Far or Gettysburg.

Indeed. Or like the excellent excellent 2003 indie flick "Saints and Soldiers". A story of a motley crew of soldiers who found themselves in the middle of the battle later known as "the Bulge".

My 0.02€ would go to a remake of the excellent excellent ( :) ) Sam Peckinpah classic Cross of Iron.

Nothing wrong with the original.

I would simply like to see a modern version with a modern view and a huge huge budget and eye for detail such as in Band of Brothers.

Cast by bright, unknown new faces.
