The Three Musketeers (1973) The movie has been made about 6 times in the US since 1916, including a version with Gene Kelly, but the 1973 version with Racquel Welch, Michael York, and Oliver Reed is my favorite. Charlton Heston's version of Cardinal Richelieu was great as a really complex character. Tim Currry played the same character as a sort of Muppet villain, too cowardly and venal to be taken seriously.

The 1960's and 1970's were known for great war movies, Kelley's Heroes andPatton were both made in 1970. The Dirty Dozen and Battle of the Bulge were both made in 1965.

Then there were the cop movies....
