I wish I could find a decent photo to accompany this post, but if you do an image search for the Dirty Dozen, you can come across a lot of boring pictures of army buddies that have named themselves after the dozen guys in the movie. This is the best I could do.

The premise for those who don't know: WWII. Lee Marvin plays a soldier who is put in charge of a mission to train 12 army prisoners (guys who are good at scheming) and infiltrate a German retreat mansion where many important German leaders stay on a regular basis.

This movie was a lot of fun. It managed to deal with the war light-heartedly without feeling too flippant. But that's not what matters. What matters is the teaming up of these 12 odd guys, their dynamics, their methods of doing things, and the cool last half-hour or so in which they go on their mission. Heavy use of explosions and shooting included.

Very entertaining, especially with the celebrity-packed cast.
