In-Reply-To: What are your favorite World War II movies? posted by Chris Whitten on 2:57:48 PM 6 May 2002

These are the WWII movies that I have purchased or have video taped over the years. I would be hard-pressed to pick the top five or even ten. They are all fine movies, many are fiction while some are based on fact or nearly so, such as Patton and Battle of the Bulge. These movies cover different battle fronts as well as the home fronts - one cannot possibly gain any perspective of WWII by ignoring either aspect. Some are deadly serious like Saving Private Ryan, while others are comedic such as Operation Petticoat. There are other fine movies not yet included in my itinerary, and I am always on the lookout for additions.

Spammers do this with automated "bots" that constantly search the Web looking for e-mail addresses. Since you're a human being, not a bot, you can easily obtain the real address by removing the text that says "ThisisToPreventSpam-XYZ-RemoveThis." including the random number XYZ and the period at the end. For example, <whitten@ThisIsToPreventSpam-123-RemoveThis.despammed.com> would become <chris-(@)-interesting.com>.
