Thumbs up to those who mentioned Cube and Dance Me Outside.
Which is the whole point. He called the movie Passchendaele and marketed it as the Canadian "Band of Brothers." It's one thing to say it's a war time film and another thing entirely to name it after a significant battle and only have that conflict occupy 10 minutes of a nearly 2 hour movie. At least Pearl Harbour actually had Pearl Harbour in it.
