Angel: He is dead. Technically, he's undead. It's a zombie. Connor: What's a zombie? Angel: It's an undead thing. Connor: Like you? Angel: No, zombies are slow-moving, dimwitted things that crave human flesh. Connor: Like you. Angel: No! It's different. Trust me.

In terms of WWII movies, "Bridge on the River Kwai" is very good indeed. Another one I always like to recommend is "The Desert Fox," if black and white is acceptable.

For non WWII stuff, "Gladiator," "Apollo 13," and "The Right Stuff," perhaps
