16. 1940's
18. The Dirty Dozen - a movie whose plot is largely forgotten, but my vague memory seems to recall that Marvin was a renegade soldier assigned to gather up imprisoned soldiers to go on a mission to hinder the German war effort during World War II. The only reason this movie even sticks in my memory is because it was Jim Brown's first movie.
