K is for "Kelly's Heroes"

 I chose "Kelly's Heroes" because it is the best action/comedy war movie. That was hard to pull off. “Kelly’s Heroes” is part of the commando mission subgenre that includes “Guns of Navarone” (1961), “The Dirty Dozen” (1967), and “Where Eagles Dare” (1968).  It put a new spin on the subgenre by adding a heavy dose of humor.  It also added a heist element to the plot.  It was directed by Brian Hutton and filmed in Yugoslavia to take advantage of the Yugoslavian army’s Sherman and T-34 tanks.  The T-34s were modified to look like Tigers.  The amount of military hardware appearing in the film is truly impressive.
