Combat Pack: 20 Movie Pack

This is a collection of War movies my mother had in her collection. Which is of course now mine. And I was wondering (since I know little about war movies) if any of these (I am sure lesser known) war movies are worth checking out anytime soon. So anyone here know any of the following?...

- The Adventures of Tartu (Robert Donat 1943)
- Aerial Gunner (Richard Arlen 1943)
- Battle of Blood Island (Richard Devon 1960)
- The Big Lift (Montgomery Cliff 1950)
- Black Brigade (Stephen Boyd 1970)
- Blood on the Sun (James Cagney 1945)
- British Intelligence (Boris Karloff 1940) Never Knew Boris Karloff did a war movie!
- Commandos (Lee Van Cleef 1968)
- Convoy (Stewart Granger 1940)
- The Dawn Express (Anne Nagel 1942)
- Flying Blind (Richard Arlen 1941)
- Four in a Jeep (Ralph Meeker 1951)
- Gung Ho (Randolph Scott 1943)
- Identity Unknown (Richard Arlen 1945)
- The Last Chance (E.G. Morrison 1945)
- Minesweeper (Richard Arlen 1943)
- The Navy Way (Robert Lowery 1944)
- One of Our Aircraft is Missing (Eric Portman 1942)
- Private Buckaroo (The Andrew Sisters 1942) This one will take some convincing... says it is a musical comedy.
- Spitfire (David Nivan 1942)

I've seen Blood on the Sun and Gung Ho in the past but neither were particularly great else I would've remembered more about them. Pretty average if memory serves right.

Oh yeah.... I realize that Donnie... I have a few releases such as this. They can range anywhere from barely watchable to half way decent.    Thanks

Thanks... I imagine that is how most of these will be.

All three of these are good.

I'd start with the Powell/Pressburger film.
