“KELLY’S HEROS” is a great war movie. It has both comedy and drama, full of stars like Clint Eastwood, Donald Sutherland, Telly Savales, Don Rickles and many others. There are also many wonderful quotes from the movie that are used around the table by my game group. The movie is about a group of American soldiers in World War II who set off to rob a bank of German gold. It’s a favorite of mine. If you haven’t seen it – rent it, if you’ve seen it – buy it.
