Samuel Fuller is a classic director of B-Movies, but he probably made the most expensive B-movie there has been when he set out to direct,
The Big Red One, which is now a staple war classic for it's blend of humor and the ability to showcase the horrors of war. With a myriad of memorable scenes that really do blend horror, and comedy, and other scenes that purely show the touching actions of the men in the unit it ties up to be a nice film. It's really long though, and has a lot of male humor that does appeal to a wide range.
Sergeant leads his man through battles all over the world beginning in North Africa, and traveling through a variety of places in Europe including Sicily, and parts of Germany. New man come in to replace old ones, but the four we start with keep on pushing through despite the loss of their surrounding men. The guys you follow are Griff, Zab, Vinci, and Johnson. Their journey will lead around to the end of World War Two, and a very nostalgic ending for Sergeant.
