Lost Battalion (DVD, 2002)

This is a GREAT World War 1 movie. Lots of action that takes place in the
trenches and in the attack on the Argonne Forest in late 1918. There are
really no dull moments here. All of the movie is basically composed of the
American attack to gain a stratigic point in the Forest and the German attempts
to dislodge the battalion after it succeeds. The battalion accomplishes its
mission but is left by itself as the rest of the Division falls back in retreat. Rick Schroader is GREAT as Major Whittlesea, the commander of the
battalion and is supported by several other good performances on both the
American side and German, as it also gives the insight into the German Commands
committment to drive the American force from the center of the German line.
Really a nicely photographed movie-orginally shown on the A & E network. Well
worth the full price you would pay in a Video store-and if you get it on ebay
for less-certainly worth the price. Recommended for War Movie lovers especially.

THIS IS A TERRIFIC MOVIE> ONER OF THE BEST WWI MOVIES MADE IN MY OPINION>
LOVE THE REALISM, THE TRUE STORY & WISH THEY WOULD REMAKE SOME OF THE OLDER MOVIES< LIKE LONGEST DAY< IN COLOR & MORE GRAPHIC.

I* FEEL USA SCHOOLS & OTHER COUNTRIES AS WELL APPEAR TO BE SKIPPING THE WORLD WARS HISTORIES & IF NOT FOR THE TOY SOLDIER INDUSTRY< BOOKS & MOVIES_THEY MAY BE FORGOTTEN WHICH WOULD B A REAL TRAGEDY< NOT TO MENTION DOOM US TO REPEAT THEM>YOU SEE MORE INFO ON THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR THAN U DO ON ANY WARS LESS THAN 100 YRS OLD>
I HOPE EVERYONE WHO READS THIS WILL LOOK UP & WATCH THE MANY TITLES OF WWI & WWII ESPECIALLY BOOKS & MOVIES & DON'T LET OUR KIDS FORGET.WE MUST REMEMBER THESE PEOPLE< LESS THEY DIED IN VAIN!
Remember-one of your relatives fought for the country & U R forgetting your own legacy.A crime in my book!

Excellent movie. Some of the worst camera work I have ever seen. I felt I was trying to backup because the camera was so close to the actors. It was really apparent during the action sequences.
American involvement in WWI was short (9 months) and to think that 3 Medals of Honor came from this one short engagement reflects such great honor on the American Army, it chokes me up with pride.
Ricky Schroder was absolutely excellent. The leadership his character showed was mind blowing. His statement to General Alexander, that the General would not see him or is men alive again and then press the battle as hard as he did was great. How many people would lead men in to a battle like he did thinking it was a suicide mission.
The Texan Lt. that was captured, telling the German Officer that his men were New York Gangsters and would never surrender, was priceless. I loved it.

I had seen parts of the movie on TV before I bought it and wanted to see the whole thing. A very good buy.

I love war movies. I can watch them all day. This is a true story about World War 1. A battalion got lost in the woods behind enemy lines without food, water, and ammo while being constantly attacked by German force.

the movie, "the Lost Battalion" is an old movie that was made by the channel A&E, its a movie about an american battalion during WWI, that gets lost and for 5 days is cut off from all supplies.

bottem line is.... its a great movie and if your a war movie collector, this is a must have.
