Your war movies above reminded me of "Fury", and of course a few others.
I assume you have seen it already?

I haven't seen it; I keep meaning to but haven't gotten around to it yet. Greyhound is another one I have in my queue; Tom Hanks was supposed to come onboard and watch it with us, but the pandemic put paid to that.

I forgot all about Greyhound.
That looks like another good one.

I think you'll like Fury. Great cast and a pretty good flick, imo.
