John Wayne was in The Longest Day.

Black hawk down and full metal jacket

 

[Dotty]

Above us the waves, ice cold in Alex, and, although strictly speaking not a war film but it heavily features a couple of old soldiers and there is a fair bit of fighting in it, the man who would be king.

 

[Dotty]

Ooh! Ooh! Cockleshell heroes too.
