    Battle of Britian. By far IMO. The longest day just seems to be one of those 'John Wayne wins the war on his own' movies :lol: Still a pretty good movie though. i just like BoB more.

    The Longest Day comes out 1975 I think. It shows the drop in Normandy. Its a good movie. Never saw A Bridge Too Far. Maybe you should just check em out in the local rental movie thing.
